Processing effects on tensile superelastic behaviour of Fe43.5Mn34Al15 ± XNi7.5∓X shape memory alloys
(2019)
Fe₄₃.₅Mn₃₄Al₁₅Ni₇.₅ was introduced in the current decade as a new superelastic alloy with great applicative potential due to: (i) superelastic behaviour over a thermal range of 200°C and (ii) recoverable strains up to 9.7 %. One of the key factors in enhancing the superelastic response of several shape memory alloys (SMAs) is the formation of an oligocrystalline structure, i.e. without triple junctions between grains, which is the result of an abnormal grain growth (AGG) process that can be induced by cyclic heat ...

Design of novel materials for additive manufacturing - Isotropic microstructure and high defect tolerance
(2018-01-22)
Electron Beam Melting (EBM) is a powder-bed additive manufacturing technology enabling the production of complex metallic parts with generally good mechanical properties. However, the performance of powder-bed based additively manufactured materials is governed by multiple factors that are difficult to control. Alloys that solidify in cubic crystal structures are usually affected by strong anisotropy due to the formation of columnar grains of preferred orientation. Moreover, processing induced defects and porosity ...

Shape memory effect and superelasticity in high-strength FeNiCoAlTi single crystals hardened by nanoparticles
(2019-11-19)
For [001]-oriented single crystals of Fe-28Ni-17Co-11.5Al-2.5Ti (at %) alloy in tension, it was shown that particles of the γ’-phase with a size of 4–6 nm lead to the appearance of superelasticity, with a strain of εSE=4.5% and a shape memory effect of εSME=5.9%. Increasing the particle size to 10–12 nm reduces εSE to 3.6% and εSME to 3.5%. The paper discusses the causes of the influence of particle size on the reversible strain.

The Fatigue and Corrosion Fatigue Behavior of Austenitic Stainless Steel AISI 304 after Deep Rolling at Various Temperatures
(2019-09)
The austenitic stainless steel AISI 304 was deep rolled at 20 °C (RTDR), -195 °C (CTDR), and 550 °C (HTDR). The deep rolling pressures used for each deep rolling temperature were 1.0, 1.7, and 2.4 bar. From microstructural investigation, the largest compressive residual stress field was found in RTDR, and the highest amount of martensitic content and plastic deformation were found in CTDR. The strain aging effect was only found in HTDR.
In the rotating bending fatigue tests, the strain aging effect after HTDR is ...

Thermo-mechanische Gradierung eigenverstärkter Polypropylen-Composite
(kassel university press, 2015)
Eigenverstärkte Polypropylen-Composite weisen ein enormes Leichtbaupotential und überdurchschnittliche mechanische Grundeigenschaften auf. Das Eigenschaftsspektrum lässt sich auf die makromolekulare Orientierung oder sog. Eigenverstärkung der eingesetzten textilen Faser- und Bändchenhalbzeuge zurückführen, welche die Ausgangsbasis der Schichtverbunde bilden. Über eine gezielte Prozessführung kann die Eigenverstärkung bis ins heißkompaktierte Bauteil hinein kontrolliert und erhalten werden, wobei sich das Eigenschaftsspektrum ...

Rotatives Vibrationsschweißen
(kassel university press, 2017)
Schweißversuche mit den von dem Schweißmaschinenhersteller Fischer Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH entwickelten Prototypenmaschinen für das neuartige Rotative Vibrationsschweißen zeigen eine vergleichbare erforderliche Prozessführung und die bereits bekannten Ausprägungen der vier Schweißprozessphasen anderer Vibrationsschweißverfahren. Unter Verwendung unterschiedlicher Werkstoffe und Probekörpergeometrien zeigt sich, dass sich die Fügenahteigenschaften von mit dem Rotativen Vibrationsschweißverfahren gefügten ...

Promoting abnormal grain growth in Fe-based shape memory alloys through compositional adjustments
(2019-05-28)
Iron-based shape memory alloys are promising candidates for large-scale structural applications due to their cost efficiency and the possibility of using conventional processing routes from the steel industry. However, recently developed alloy systems like Fe–Mn–Al–Ni suffer from low recoverability if the grains do not completely cover the sample cross-section. To overcome this issue, here we show that small amounts of titanium added to Fe–Mn–Al–Ni significantly enhance abnormal grain growth due to a considerable ...

Cyclic degradation of Co49Ni21Ga30 high-temperature shape memory alloy - On the roles of dislocation activity and chemical order
(2015)
Conventional shape memory alloys (SMAs), such as binary Ni-Ti, are typically limited to service temperatures below 100 °C. Recent studies on Co-Ni-Ga high temperature (HT) SMAs revealed the potential that these alloys can be used up to temperatures of about 400 °C. Analysis of the cyclic functional properties showed that degradation in these alloys is mainly triggered by intensive dislocation motion. However, data on the cyclic stress-strain response and the mechanisms leading to functional degradation of Co-Ni-Ga ...

On the Effect of Quenching on Postweld Heat Treatment of Friction-Stir-Welded Aluminum 7075 Alloy
(2019)
This work focuses on the effect of postweld heat treatment (PWHT) on the mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of aluminum 7075 alloy processed via friction stir welding (FSW). FSW is known to be capable of grain refinement in the nugget zone (NZ). Two different quench media (water and air) were employed for PWHT. Regardless of the quench media, the PWHT led to the occurrence of grain growth in the NZ of the FSWed aluminum 7075 alloy. Abnormal grain growth occurred in the water quenched specimen. It is ...

Cyclic Deformation Response of Ultra-fine Grained Titanium at Elevated Temperatures
(2019)
This study focuses on the high-temperature cyclic deformation response (CDR) of ultra-fine grained (UFG) titanium of commercial purity (grade 4) processed via equal channel angular extrusion as a severe plastic deformation method. Low-cycle fatigue experiments were conducted at elevated temperatures up to 600 °C and at strain amplitudes ranging from 0.2% to 0.6%. Besides temperature and strain amplitude, the influence of two processing routes (8BC and 8E) on the fatigue characteristics of UFG Ti was examined. It is ...
