The Investigation Of The Underlying Microstructure Associated With Fracture Features In 6061 Cold Sprayed Aluminum, Justin White
The Investigation Of The Underlying Microstructure Associated With Fracture Features In 6061 Cold Sprayed Aluminum, Justin White
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Cold gas dynamic spraying commonly known as cold spray is a process currently used for restoration, re-tolerancing, and application of coatings. With additional resources allocated towards the development of a through process model aimed at predicting the properties of bulk material produced via the Cold Spray process, more lab testing and investigation must be done to capture the effects of the varying microstructure in CS materials. The properties of ultra-fine-grained materials are derived from data collected from coarse grained materials and processes that do not accurately capture the effects as elevated strain rates and ultra-fine-grained materials. The lack of property …
Very High Cycle Fatigue Behavior Of Laser Beam-Powder Bed Fused Inconel 718 Considering The Layer Orientation And Surface Finish Effects, Palmer Frye
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques have recently gained popularity for fabrication of parts used in aerospace applications. Some of these parts may be subjected to cyclic loading at very high frequencies, leading to service life requirements exceeding ten-million cycles (>107 cycles). Therefore, understanding the very high-cycle fatigue (VHCF) behavior of these AM parts is an important step in their design and qualification processes. In this thesis, both high-cycle fatigue (HCF) and VHCF behaviors of Inconel 718, a Ni-base superalloy, manufactured via a Laser Beam-Powder Bed Fusion (LB-PBF) process, are investigated. Uniaxial, fully reversed force-controlled fatigue tests were conducted utilizing …
The Microstructural Annealing Response Of Cold Gas Dynamically Sprayed Al 6061, Clayton Andrew Cushway
The Microstructural Annealing Response Of Cold Gas Dynamically Sprayed Al 6061, Clayton Andrew Cushway
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The Cold-Gas Dynamic-Spray process also known as Cold Spray (CS) has been researched for three decades. The CS process is a solid-state deposition technique via supersonic velocity of powder particles at a temperature significantly below the melting point of the spray material. This thesis presents background on the overall CS process parameters, and additional information on the microstructural and mechanical properties of typical Cold Sprayed materials.This Thesis primarily presents a study on the microstructural annealing response of CS Al 6061. It should be noted that for this study, the term “annealing” is used in the sense of the classical metallurgical …
