Low-Cycle-Fatigue Performance of Stress-Aged EN AW-7075 Alloy
(2023-05-05)
The effect of a novel heat treatment, that is, aging under superimposed external stress, on the fatigue performance and microstructural evolution of a high-strength aluminum alloy (EN AW-7075) is presented. Stress aging, a combination of heat treatment and superimposed external stress, can enhance the mechanical properties of EN AW-7075 under monotonic loading due to the acceleration of precipitation kinetics. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) reveal that a longer ...

On the Reliability of Automated Analysis of Fracture Surfaces Using a Novel Computer Vision-Based Tool
(2023-08-05)
Fracture surface analysis is of utmost importance with respect to structural integrity of metallic materials. This especially holds true for additively manufactured materials. Despite an increasing trend of automatization of testing methods, the analysis and classification of fatigue fracture surface images is commonly done manually by experts. Although this leads to correct results in most cases, it has several disadvantages, e.g., the need of a huge knowledge base to interpret images correctly. In present work, an ...

Cyclic Superelastic Behavior of Iron-Based Fe-Ni-Co-Al-Ti-Nb Shape Memory Alloy
(2023-01-03)
Iron-based shape memory alloys came into focus as promising candidate materials for large-scale structural applications owing to their cost-efficiency. In the present work, the superelastic properties of a recently introduced Fe-Ni-Co-Al-Ti-Nb shape memory alloy are investigated. For 〈001〉-oriented single-crystalline material in aged condition (650 °C/6 h), an incremental strain test reveals excellent superelasticity at −130 °C with fully reversible strains up to about 6%. Under cycling loading at different test ...

Electrochemical polarization behavior and superelastic properties of a Fe–Mn–Al–Ni–Cr shape memory alloy
(2022-10-22)
The present study investigates the corrosion behavior of a Fe–Mn–Al–Ni–Cr shape memory alloy in a 5.0 wt% NaCl solution in combination with the functional properties. In a single crystalline condition, the investigated alloy shows a superior superelastic response with a maximum recovery strain of 5.2%. Furthermore, the results of the potentiodynamic polarization and impedance spectroscopy show that the addition of chromium generally improves corrosion resistance by increasing the resistance to localized corrosion. ...

Hot Work Tool Steel Processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion: A Review on Most Relevant Influencing Factors
(2021-03-26)
As a representative of a common carbon-bearing hot work tool steel AISI H13 is in focus of the present review paper. Most relevant details for processing of AISI H13 by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) are systematically investigated. Three common stages of process parameter development and material assessment, respectively, are in focus: general processibility, process refinement, and deduction of process–microstructure–property relations, i.e., understanding of the interplay of relevant elementary mechanisms. On the ...

CuCrZr processed by laser powder bed fusion — Processability and influence of heat treatment on electrical conductivity, microstructure and mechanical properties
(2021-06-16)
CuCrZr parts were fabricated by laser beam powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) technique and subjected to different heat treatments. As a result, four different conditions were considered for further investigations, that is, the as-built condition, conditions of maximum hardness (MH) and maximum electrical conductivity (MC), and a condition representing a compromise between hardness and conductivity (H&C). Microstructural evolution and performance under monotonic and cyclic loading were studied. Fracture surfaces revealed ...

Characterization of Mechanical Properties, Macroscopic Deformation Behavior, and Microstructure of Functionally Graded 22MnB5 Steel
(2021-03-24)
The focus of this study is on the characterization of the local plastic deformation and failure of functionally graded 22MnB5 plates after hot stamping using an in situ approach. Various forming strategies at elevated temperatures are performed using differentially tempered forming tools to locally tailor the microstructure. By controlling the cooling rate, graded as well as martensitic and ferritic–pearlitic microstructures are obtained. Experimental analysis includes evaluation of the material- and geometry-dependent ...

On the Microstructural and Cyclic Mechanical Properties of Pure Iron Processed by Electron Beam Melting
(2021-03-10)
Additive manufacturing (AM) processes such as electron beam melting (EBM) are characterized by unprecedented design freedom. Topology optimization and design of the microstructure of metallic materials are enabled by rapid progress in this field. The latter is of highest importance as many applications demand appropriate mechanical as well as functional material properties. For instance, biodegradable implants have to meet mechanical properties of human bone and at the same time guarantee adequate cytocompatibility ...

On the Influence of Microstructure on the Corrosion Behavior of Fe–Mn–Al–Ni Shape Memory Alloy in 5.0 wt% NaCl Solution
(2020-10-03)
Herein the corrosion behavior of Fe–Mn–Al–Ni shape memory alloys characterized by different microstructures in a 5.0 wt% NaCl solution is investigated. Open circuit potential and potentiodynamic polarisation tests are conducted. Generally, Fe–Mn–Al–Ni shows corrosion properties being similar to pure iron. However, the polarization curves of single crystals indicate the presence of an unstable passive system. The corrosion damage is analyzed by means of optical microscopy and electron microscopy. It is revealed that ...

Thermal Stability of Residual Stresses in Differently Deep Rolled Surface Layers of Steel SAE 1045
(2021-05-07)
The stability of compressive residual stresses generated by deep rolling plays a decisive role on the fatigue behavior of specimens and components, respectively. In this regard, deep rolling at elevated temperature has proven to be very effective in stabilizing residual stresses when fatigue analysis is conducted at ambient temperature. However, since residual stresses can be affected not only by plastic deformation but also when thermal energy is provided, it is necessary to analyze the influence of temperature and ...
