The use of Ni-based fillers for gas tungsten arc welded SASS leads to the formation of fine Cr-Mo enriched phase in its weld unmixed zone, which makes it more susceptible to the localized corrosion. The metallographic observations showed that the pits were initiated around the fine Cr-Mo enriched phase precipitated in unmixed zone, and they were propagated along the base metal. The degree of corrosion damage among the welded samples using the three types of Ni-based fillers (Inconel 625, Inconel 622, Hastelloy 276) increased with the Mo contents in the fillers applied. The higher the Mo contents in the fillers, the higher the size/number ratio of Cr-Mo enriched phase with higher concentration of Mo, precipitated in unmixed zone. Based on the results, it is proposed that the Mo contents in Ni-based high alloyed fillers can have a great effect on the precipitation behavior of Cr-Mo enriched phase in unmixed zone, causing deterioration of corrosion resistance of SASS welds. Therefore, the Mo content in the filler should be optimized with the content similar to that of the base metal so as not to susceptible to localized corrosion.","PeriodicalId":17894,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Metals and Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49463900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among them, permingeatite (Cu₃SbSe₄) is a potential thermoelectric material with high Seebeck coefficient and low lattice thermal conductivity. However, it is necessary to improve its thermoelectric properties through doping, as it has low electrical conductivity due to its low intrinsic carrier concentration. In this study, samples of Cu₃Sb_1−x−ySn_xIn_ySe₄ (0.02 ≤ <i>x</i> ≤ 0.08 and 0.04 ≤ <i>y</i> ≤ 0.06) double-doped with In (group 13 element) and Sn (group 14 element) at the Sb (group 15 element) sites of permingeatite were synthesized and their thermoelectric performances were evaluated. All samples exhibited a single phase of permingeatite with tetragonal structure, and high relative densities of 97.4–98.9%. The lattice constants of the a- and c-axes were 0.5651–0.5654 and 1.1249–1.1257 nm, respectively, owing to the successful substitution of Sn and In at the Sb sites. As the doping concentrations of Sn and In increased, the carrier (hole) concentration increased. Thus, the Seebeck coefficient decreased, while the electrical and thermal conductivities increased. Sn doping was found to be more effective than In doping. Because Cu₃Sb_0.96−xSn_xIn_0.04Se₄ exhibits higher Seebeck coefficients than Cu₃Sb_0.94−xSn_xIn_0.06Se₄, larger power factors and higher dimensionless figures of merit (ZTs) were achieved for the Cu₃Sb_0.96−xSn_xIn_0.04Se₄ specimens. Cu₃Sb_0.92Sn_0.04In_0.04Se₄ achieved a maximum ZT of 0.59 at 623 K, based on its Seebeck coefficient of 161 µVK⁻¹, electrical conductivity of 4.69 × 10⁴ Sm⁻¹, thermal conductivity of 0.77 Wm⁻¹K⁻¹, and power factor of 1.22 mWm⁻¹K⁻².","PeriodicalId":17894,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Metals and Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45461608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In general, the configurational entropy of the HEAs is known to be sufficient to stabilize a single solid solution, such as body-centered cubic (BCC), face-centered cubic (FCC) and hexagonal-closed pack (HCP). Compared to BCC single-phase alloys, FCC single-phase alloys draw extensive attention because they are advantageous in manufacturing and processing. FCC-based HEAs show excellent ductility but limited strength, so many research on improving strength has been conducted. Outstanding mechanical properties with a balance of strength and ductility are rarely achieved in single-phase FCC-based HEAs. This is why most alloys for structural applications exhibit a multi-phase microstructure. In this study, we aimed to develop multi-phase FCC-based HEA with superior mechanical properties than single-phase CoCrFeMnNi HEA, via Co substitution in CoCrFeMnNi HEA by Cu, which has a high mixing enthalpy. It was found that the CuCrFeMnNi HEA is composed of two FCC phases and one BCC phase. The CuCrFeMnNi HEA was cold-rolled, and subsequently aged at 500, 700, 900oC for 1 hour. As the annealing temperature increased, the volume fraction of the FCC phase (FCC1 + FCC2) increased and the residual stress was gradually relieved by recrystallization. Furthermore, small amount of sigma phase was formed at 900oC. The effect of the microstructural evolution on the mechanical properties, such as hardness and tensile properties at room temperature, will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":17894,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Metals and Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47258286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relative density, microstructure, crystallinity, and hardness were investigated, and the correlation between properties and structure was discussed in relation to TiO2 addition and sintering temperature. The densities of the 0.05wt%-TiO2 specimens sintered at 1500 and 1600 o C had higher values than the pure alumina specimens. Adding more than 5.0wt% TiO2 lowered the relative density. The maximum achieved density was 99.7% at 0.05wt% TiO2 addition. Shrinkage and hardness analyses confirmed that the sintering temperature for the Al2O3 insulator could be lowered by adding TiO2. The optimal concentration to obtain a dense alumina with high hardness for insulator use was determined to be in the range of 0.05 to 1.0 wt% of TiO2 .

In this study, in order to investigate the hot workability of AA 2026 and to optimize the hot forming parameters, hot compression tests were conducted in the temperature range of 300 to 450 o C, at a strain rate of 0.01 to 10 and in the 50% strain section. The true stress–true strain curve showed a dynamic softening phenomenon while the stress increased rapidly at a small strain and then remained steady. In order to evaluate its high temperature processability, the constitutive equations for flow stress, temperature, and strain were quantified based on the Arrhenius equation, and a process strain map was prepared. The peak stress accuracy of the constitutive equation was about 98.2%, which was consistent with the experimental data of AA 2026 under strain rate and temperature conditions. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and backscattered electron diffraction pattern analyzer (EBSD) analyses were conducted to confirm the mechanism of the dynamic softening phenomenon. The CDRX phenomenon was confirmed under the high strain condition in the low temperature region and the DDRX phenomenon in the low strain condition in the high temperature region.","PeriodicalId":17894,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Metals and Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44756278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Al-Si-Mg-(Cu) alloys typically lose their strength above 170 o C due to coarsening of precipitates, which limits their application to components. To maintain their strength at elevated temperature, Al-Si-Mg-(Cu) alloys are modified by adding transitional metals. Several studies have been carried out to evaluate the effect of Zr addition on the high temperature mechanical properties of cast Al-Si alloys because Zr can form thermally stable phases such as Al3Zr. Despite the relative studies on the influence of Cu and Zr on the mechanical properties of cast Al-Si-Mg-(Cu) alloys, investigations of the effect of Zr on the phase transformations and the mechanical properties during heat treatment remains limited. In this study, the effects of added Cu and Zr on the phase transformations and the mechanical performance during heat treatment of A356 cast alloy were investigated. Needle-like and block-like (Al,Si)3(Ti,Zr) dispersoids formed as some Si and Ti replaced Al and Zr in Al3Zr crystal structures were generally observed. Furthermore, with increasing solution treatment time, the size of Zr dispersoids was reduced, and smaller Zr particles were precipitated at the same time, which caused a decrease in the area fraction of the Zr dispersoids. In addition, the metastable L12 structures of Zr dispersoids in Al-Si-Mg-Cu-Zr alloys were transformed into stable D023 during solution heat treatment as the Cu addition accelerated the transformation. Tensile and low-cycle fatigue (LCF) tests were performed to reveal the effects of (Al,Si)3(Ti,Zr) dispersoids on mechanical properties. As a result, elongation at elevated temperature was highly increased, while maintaining strength, according to the increase in solution heat treatment time, which improved low-cycle fatigue properties.","PeriodicalId":17894,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Metals and Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41393832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve on its mechanical properties, the approach universally utilized has been to add secondary materials to form a composite and to fabricate an ultra - fine material.

The surface layer was observed, to analyze the effect of the amount of potassium carbonate as an inhibitor. When the potassium carbonate was added at 5~25 ppm without any other additives, the initial plating voltage was observed to decrease. To uniformly distribute crystals without agglomeration at the initial stage of electroplating, it is reasonable to add potassium carbonate within the range of 20~25 ppm. There was no significant difference in surface roughness and specific resistance due to the amount of potassium carbonate, when the additives were added complexly. There was an increase in the relative strength of the preferred growth orientation of (220) in a group with 20 ppm potassium carbonate, compared to the group with 10 ppm potassium carbonate.
