It was been established by crystallographic-geometrical analysis, that the boron atoms could be allocate in B – alloyed a – Fe only in the positions of a sub-interstitial solid solution. By study a static strain aging (SSA) and a dynamic strain aging (DSA) specimens of wire rod by C – Mn – Si - steel with B and without B (both with multi-phase (ferrite- martensite (bainite)-pearlite) microstructures) more expressed decreasing of strengthening properties and higher characteristics of ductility had been determined for C – Mn – Si - steel specimens with B. These results could be explained by “de - nitrogenous” and “de - carbonaceous” mechanisms, when boron atoms from a – Fe sub-interstitial solid solution by producing wire rod and by its strain aging thermal treatment with temperatures 150 - 450 °С generate boron- nitrogenous and boron - carbonaceous – nitrogenous precipitations. By realizing these mechanisms nitrogen and carbon atoms are partly excluded from the dislocation pinning’s process. This, in fact, explains to inhibit the development of strain aging (SSA and DSA) in boron- micro-alloyed C – Mn – Si - steel.","PeriodicalId":16111,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science Research","volume":"305 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75282851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate the influence of 0.75 at.%Zr addition on thermal stabilization of nanocrystalline state of Copper, milled powder was annealed up to T/Tm = 0.79 for 1h in an inert atmosphere. The microstructural changes of both milled and annealed powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Mechanical properties were determined in terms of hardness. It was found that addition of 0.75 at.%Zr can stabilize grain size at higher temperature, i.e., ~ 32 nm at 800oC (T/Tm = 0.79). The hardness of Cu-0.75 at.%Zr at 800oC was found to decrease by only ~ 13% as opposed to a 65% decrease in pure copper from cryomilled condition. The thermal stability of Cu-0.75 at.%Zr system at high temperatures was attributed to the kinetic stabilization, i.e., grain boundary pinning by intermetallic phases. Thermal stability contributions were assessed by thermodynamic models elicits added Zr is not sufficient for stabilization, rather kinetic stabilization (by intermetallic pinning of grain boundary) became active at higher annealing temperature.","PeriodicalId":16111,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science Research","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76984560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unsolidified liquid core of the continuously cast slab with the optimum stirring was well packed with the refined crystals whereas it was not with coarse equiaxed crystals. The analogue study with experiments of Pb-Sn alloy showed, similarly as with steel slabs, the stirring at low solid fraction refined crystals.

The CFRPs in this study were fabricated from 60% CF and various resins: epoxy, polyamide (PA6), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyether ether ketone (PEEK). The ultimate tensile strength sUTS of Epoxy-CFRP was found to be about twice that of PEEK-CFRP. Relatively high tensile strengths were found for PPS- and PA6-CFRP in the thermoset resin group, although these were still only about 85% of the strength of epoxy-CFRP. The tensile and fatigue strengths of the CR-CFRPs were less than half those of the UD-CFRPs, even though high ductilities were found for the CR-CFRPs. These high ductilities can be attributed to the crosslinking fiber effect and the low proportion of CFs in the loading direction. The sUTS values of CFRPs depend not only on the tensile strengths s and volume fractions V of CF and resin (i.e., through the conventional compound law sUTS = sfiberVfiber + sresinVresin), but also on several material properties, including the wettability of the CF by the resin. On the basis of the material properties, the ultimate tensile strengths of various UD- and CR-CFRPs were well estimated numerically through a statistical analysis, which afforded better estimates than those obtained from the compound law.","PeriodicalId":16111,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science Research","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75610924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We chose a five cantilever multibeam harvester to demonstrate that individual fundamental modes of the beams can achieve a broader frequency band and generate power. Authors also show that composite trapezoidal beam design leads to high power density broadband frequency response. The multibeam approach resulted in broader bandwidth of 18 Hz while generating a power density of 0.0913 mW/cm 3 whereas the trapezoidal shape generated 2.3 – 2.5 mW/cm 3 with a bandwidth of 4 to 6 Hz.
