Residual Strength And Fatigue Characterization Of Scs-6/Ti-6-4, Sang-Myung Lee Dec 1996

Residual Strength And Fatigue Characterization Of Scs-6/Ti-6-4, Sang-Myung Lee

Theses and Dissertations

Metal matrix composite have potential in a variety of aerospace applications, but they should be better understood before they can be employed. Despite the many studies that have contributed to characterizing the fatigue response of titanium alloy MMCs, few have researched the residual strength. The purpose of this study was to investigate the residual strength and the frequency effects on the residual strength of an unidirectional laminate of SCS-6/Ti-6-4, a titanium alloy matrix based composite under tension-tension, load-controlled conditions at elevated temperatures and different frequencies. Specimens were fatigued at frequencies of 1 and 0.01Hz, and at maximum stress of 900MPa …

The paper describes the problem of the presence of sulfur in the blast furnace process and identifies emission sources of sulfur compounds in this process. On the basis of the measurements and calculations, the types and quantities of these compounds emitted to the air were determined. It was found that pig iron smelting in a blast furnace causes emissions of COS, SO2 and H2S. These emissions occur by losses of blast furnace gas (COS and SO2), transport of blast furnace slag inside the furnace hall (SO2) and treatment of the slag by granulation (H2S). However, the most important are only …


Wpływ Komponentów Alkalicznych W Procesach Spiekania I Wielkopiecowym Na Technologię I Emisję Zanieczyszczeń, Marian Mazur, Ryszard Benesch, Andrzej Łędzki, Robert Oleniacz Nov 1996

The paper presents the impact of alkali metals on sintering and blast furnace processes and air pollutant emissions including particulate matter. On the basis of the balance calculations, it was found that the main source of alkali (Na2O and K2O) in the sintering process is a raw mixture unweathered. The calculations showed that the level of dust emissions from the sinter strand to a large extent depends on: the total alkali content in a mixture of sinter, ash content in coke breeze, K2O concentration in coke ash and alkalinity of the produced sinter. Alkali metals are introduced into the blast …


Electronic Origins Of Ordering In Multicomponent Metallic Alloys: Application To The Cu-Ni-Zn System, J. D. Althoff, Duane D. Johnson, F. J. Pinski, J. B. Staunton Apr 1996

Electronic Origins Of Ordering In Multicomponent Metallic Alloys: Application To The Cu-Ni-Zn System, J. D. Althoff, Duane D. Johnson, F. J. Pinski, J. B. Staunton

We investigate the ordering tendencies of the fcc Cu-Ni-Zn system using a recently developed first-principles, density-functional-based theory of atomic short-range order (ASRO) in disordered substitutional alloys of an arbitrary number of components. We find for the binary alloys a variety of effects which should lead to competition in the ternaries: commensurate ordering (Ni-Zn), long-period ordering (Cu-rich Cu-Zn), and clustering (Cu-Ni), in agreement with experiment. We calculate the ASRO of various disordered ternary alloys (as described by the Warren-Cowley pair-correlation function) and discuss its relationship to the electronic structure of the binary and ternary disordered alloys. We find [100]-type ASRO over …


Mechanical Alloying Of Nitrogen Into Iron Powders, J. Rawers, D. Govier, D. Cook Jan 1996

Mechanical Alloying Of Nitrogen Into Iron Powders, J. Rawers, D. Govier, D. Cook

Physics Faculty Publications

Mechanical alloying of nitrogen into bcc-fe powder is a very effective and efficient means of obtaining very high concentration of nitrogen in micron-size iron particles. Mechanical alloying increases the concentration of nitrogen in the iron powder far in excess of the bcc-Fe lattice low nitrogen solubility, however most of the infused nitrogen resides on the nano-size grain boundaries and in nano-size bct-fe that forms during mechanical alloying.


The Effects Of Post Inoculant Additions On Ductile Iron Fade, Travis James Frush Jan 1996

The Effects Of Post Inoculant Additions On Ductile Iron Fade, Travis James Frush

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study involved the investigation of three specific, commercially available, post inoculants for ductile iron and their effect on the magnesium fading rate and chill reducing tendency in a low volume production environment. Although fading effects of ductile iron have been extensively investigated, in general, they apply to high volume production operations. Unfortunately, for the smaller foundry operations, many of the process solutions proposed for the prevention of the fading effects are not applicable or practical. In addition to the small production operations, new process technologies are also excluded from many of these process solutions. For this reason, a study …
