The Effect Of Parameters In Cryogenic Treatment On Mechanical Properties Of Tool Steel: A Review, Ronaldus Caesariano Ekaputra, Myrna Ariati Mochtar
Journal of Materials Exploration and Findings (JMEF)
Tool steel is classified as special alloy steel which proposed as dies or mold materials as their high mechanical properties and dimensional stability. In order to improve tool steel’s mechanical properties, heat treatment process, especially, cryogenic treatment is conducted. Cryogenic treatment is done by exposing tool steel material at sub-zero liquid/gas media after heated at austenite temperature. This process significantly affects the martensite phase transformation increase and avoids retained austenite emersion. In particular, the higher martensite volume fraction, the higher hardness and wear resistance value of tool steel. It had been proven that adjusting critical process parameters of cryogenic treatment …

Microstructures And Hardness Of Tig Welded Experimental 57fe15cr25ni Steel, Parikin Parikin, Mohammad Dani, Abu Khalid Rivai, Agus Hadi Ismoyo, Riza Iskandar, Arbi Dimyati
Makara Journal of Technology
The microstructures and hardness of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welded experimental 57Fe15Cr25Ni steel were investigated through optical–scanning electron microscopy analyses and with a hardness tester, respectively. The welding process restructured the constituent atoms into regular and irregular crystal lattices. Rapid cooling of the weld metal allowed the formation of a dendritic (columnar) structure, with porous grains. By contrast, slow cooling influenced HAZ and led to the formation of grain structures. The crystal lattice became more organized and larger than other zones. Meanwhile, the base metal formed circular nets that covered large area inside thick and thin grain boundaries. The diffraction …

Dolomite Stabilized Zirconia For Refractory Application : Part-I Phase Analysis, Densification Behavior And Microstructure Of Partial Stabilized Zirconia, R Prasad Rana, P Kumar, A Suvrajit Bal
Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
In the continuous casting of steel, Zircon and Zirconia based products are used due to its high thermal stability, excellent erosion resistance, self-opening, consistent casting speed and resistance to oxygen lancing during casting for removal of inclusion clogging and to streamline the flow. Higher casting sequences of molten steel CaO or MgO stabilized zirconia nozzles were being used and for industrial application point of view, dolomite stabilized zirconia (DSZ) could be a better substitute for the stabilization of zirconia. DSZ samples were prepared having 3,4,5,6 and 7 mole % of dolomite by solid state route using high purity monoclinic zirconia …

A Micromechanical Flow Curve Model For Dual Phase Steels, S. Sodjit, V. Uthaisangsuk
Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
In the automotive industries, Dual Phase (DP) steels have become a favoured material for the car body parts due to their excellent combination of high strength and good formability. A microstructure of DP steel generally consists of a matrix of ferrite reinforced by small islands of martensite. Experimental investigations showed that effects of martensite phase fraction, morphology, and phase distribution play an important role for the mechanical and fracture behaviours of the dual phase steel. In the present work, an approach concerning FE based modelling for predicting flow curve of DP steels has been introduced using a Representative Volume Element …

Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
Semi-solid extrusion process is a new forming process that is quite promising because the process requires lower forming pressure than conventional solid extrusion. In addition, semi-solid extrusion does not require large machines, which results in lower production costs. The aim of this article is to study the feasibility of an aluminum semi-solid extrusion process. The semi-solid technique selected for usage in this study was the Gas Induced Semi-Solid (GISS) process. The laboratory extrusion system was developed in this work. In the experiments, nitrogen gas was injected into aluminum melt for about 5 seconds. After that, the obtained semi-solid slurry was …

Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
Low alloyed steels, whose hardness can be modified by heat treatment, have been widely used in various applications. After heat treatment, they are normally destructively characterized and tested by many approaches via optical microscope and hardness testing. It is useful to develop a non-destructive method relating to its properties and microstructures. The proposed non-destructive approach in this study is the Seebeck coefficient measurement. The materials in this study were carbon steels AISI 4150 rod with a diameter of 1.3 cm and length of 3 cm. The specimens were heat-treated at 900ºC for 1 hour and were then cooled to room …

Effects Of Yttria Concentration And Microstructure On Electric Breakdown Of Yttria Stabilized Zirconia, O Jongprateep, V Petrovsky, F Dogan
Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
Ceramic materials have great potentials for capacitor application. However, low breakdown strength of the materials remains a key challenge for development of high performance capacitors. In this study, yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) were fabricated and tested for breakdown strength. YSZ samples with 3, 8, and 10 mol% yttria were carefully processed to control grain size and porosity level. Experimental results revealed that breakdown strength as high as 2 MV/cm could be achieved. The breakdown strength was not significantly affected by porosity level, but it was by yttria concentration. Relationship among yttria concentration, residual porosity and breakdown strength is discussed in …

Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
The mechanical properties and microstructure of EN AW 6082 aluminium alloy subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD) and natural ageing are compared with those of extruded and artificially aged state (initial state) and quenched state of alloy after solution annealing. Quenched state of alloy was deformed at room temperature by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) following route C up to three passes. Polyedric microstructure of quenched state was considerably changed by SPD. Deformation bands with different amount of deformation were observed in microstructure of ECAPed state, which indicated non-uniform deformation across the cross-section of ECAPed specimen.

Effect Of Solution Annealing Temperature On Structure And Mechanical Properties Of En Aw 2024 Aluminium Alloy, M Fujda, R Mišičko, L Rusňáková, M Sojko
Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
The effect of solution annealing temperature on the change of microstructural and mechanical properties of EN AW 2024 aluminium alloy was investigated using a metallographic analysis, Vickers hardness measurement and tensile test. An intensive growth of solid solution grains was the result of the increase of solution annealing temperature by the finely dispersed particles dissolved during applied annealing process. The role of these finely dispersed particles was to inhibit the recrystallization process and grain growth of solid solution matrix through its pinning effect on the migrated solid solution grain boundaries. Observed changes of the microstructure involved the strength decline and …

Study On The Microstructure Of Pb-Sn Alloy Obtained From Quasi-Two-Dimensional Electrodeposition, Bin Sun
Journal of Electrochemistry
A two-layered structure of eutectic-solid sulotion is formed in the microstructure of Pb-Sn alloy obtained from quasi-two-dimensional electrodeposition.It is showed that this unique structure is caused by the variation of the current density on the growth interface.When the interface is located in the front of the whole deposits,the current density is high.So the Pb and Sn can deposit together and the eutectic texture forms.When the interface is in the rear of the whole deposits,the current density is low.At this moment the electrodeposition of Pb is the dominant reaction,and the Pb-based solid solution appears.

An Analysis On The Microstructure Of Electrodeposited Zro 2 Ni Functionally Graded Materials, Chengjun Quan, Xinghua Xiang, Jingchuan Zhu, Zhongda Yin
Journal of Electrochemistry
The electrodeposited ZrO 2 Ni functionally graded coating was fabricated by controlling the ZrO 2 concentration in the bath, and the microstructure was analyzed by X Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA). The results show that the functionally graded coating has excellent compositional gradient distribution from the substrate to the surface. The content of ZrO 2 is up to 14.4 vol% in the surface layer and the coating consists of the t ZrO 2, m ZrO 2 and Ni phases. Owing to the ZrO 2 particles pressed by Ni atoms during electrodepositing, t→m transformation has occurred.
