"Thermomechanical responses of three single crystal superalloys were measured in between 600 and 1200 degrees C using a thermomechanical simulator. On-heating results showed no softening while testing below 1000 degrees C. In contrast, extensive softening was observed while testing above 1000 degrees C. This rapid softening is related to dissolution of gamma' precipitates. During on-cooling tests from 1300 degrees C, strength recovery of these samples occurred only below 900 degrees C. The delay in strength recovery is attributed to the extent of undercooling required for rapid decomposition of the gamma phase into mixture of gamma and gamma' phases."

Behavior Of Transversal Crack On Slab Corner During V-H Rolling Process, Hai-Liang Yu, Xiang-Hua Liu, Chang-Sheng Li, Y Kusaba

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

The behavior of transversal cracks on the surface of the slab corner during vertical and horizontal (V-H) rolling process with flat vertical roll and groove vertical roll was simulated by explicit dynamic finite element method. The closure and growth of crack and the contact pressure on surfaces of the crack in contacting zone between slab and roll during rolling process were analyzed. The results showed that during vertical rolling process, when the groove vertical roll is used, the maximum contact pressure on surfaces of the crack is 115 MPa, and the closure of crack is stable; when the flat vertical …
