As a result of these changes, it was determined that the pin profile suitable for the applied welding parameters was pyramid. It has been concluded that in the use of triangular profile pins, the welding parameters in question should be higher, and the most important reason for this is that the stir zone is larger.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80836669","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}

FEA analyses were performed according to ISO 3630-1 specifications to evaluate the bending and torsional tests of the files. Trunatomy Prime showed higher flexibility than WOG-P when subjected to bending. In terms of torsional strength, WOG-P showed higher torsional strength than TRN-P. The geometry of a rotary instrument file influences the mechanical behavior (bending and torsion) of rotary files. The clinician should be aware of the behavioral differences in rotary files and use the appropriate file according to the clinical situation in addition to the manufacturer’s instructions.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74353418","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}

Microstructural features and hardness variation of the coatings along with their oxidation behavior at 1000 °C during 50 h were investigated to reveal the effect of pack characteristics on the properties. Investigations revealed that (i) a homogeneous and continuous coating layer was formed on the surface without internal oxidation, (ii) a thicker coating (∼60 µm) was formed due to the pack consisting of coarse particles, (iii) a higher hardness value (1369 HV0.5) was measured for the coated alloy using fine particles in the pack, and (iv) the coating with coarse powder exhibited higher oxidation resistance during the first 50 h of oxidation test period. Secondly, superalloy was coated at different temperatures (700 and 1000 °C) and times (2 and 4 h) using coarse particles. In this stage, the findings showed that by increasing process temperature and time, the accumulation of aluminum on the superalloy surface increased and the oxidation tendency remained at a lower level in coatings containing thicker layers.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87605891","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 HSLA steel plates were welded at five levels of tool plunging rates varying from 2.0 mm min−1 to 3.0 mm min−1. The tool rotational speed of 600 rpm and welding speed of 30 mm min−1 were kept constant during welding. The wear of FSW tool was analysed by microscopic observations of tool condition after welding, stir zone characteristics, weight loss measurement and pin profile analysis. The characterization techniques of optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed to analyse the microstructural characteristics of stir zone of welded joints. Results disclosed that the severe degradation of FSW tool occurred due to the sudden dynamic impact load on tool pin while plunging and more diffusion of work piece material into the tool pin which leads to insufficient plasticized material flow. The tool plunging rate of 2.5 mm min−1 showed minimum tool wear and produced defect free sound joint.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81281762","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 initial small patch of erosion traces gradually evolves into the deep crater with the increment of switching cycle enabling a study of the arc erosion behavior. 2-D image, 3-D profile, and micro surface morphologies of the eroded contacts are analyzed and then related to the extent of erosion. The results show that the evolution process of central erosion region could be divided into the enlargement in breadth of contact surface and the extension in depth of contact profile. The end result of arc erosion is the net loss of contact material, which would lead to the substantial reduction of contact force and potential electrical contact instability.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90564720","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}

Parts produced by this method need surface quality improvement processes for many applications. One of the methods used for this purpose is high speed machining (HSM). HSM is a modern manufacturing technique that offers several benefits, including improved productivity, enhanced product quality, and reduced production costs. In addition, HSM can improve the quality of finished products by reducing machining errors. In this study, samples produced with 316L powder in size of 10 × 10 × 5 mm using three different hatch spacings (60, 70, 80 µm) and building orientations (0°, 45°, 90°) were produced by L-PBF method, and HSM process was applied to these samples. In this context, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of porosity, microstructure and microhardness properties of 316L samples produced by L-PBF method using different hatch spacings and build orientations on cutting forces, surface roughness and burr formation in HSM. When the numerical values of the cutting forces were analyzed in both x and y directions, it was observed that the greatest cutting force occurred in the x direction. While the Fx force ranged from 6.23 to 9.35 N, the Fy force ranged from 4.88 to 8.27 N. It has been determined that as the build orientation increases at the same hatch spacing value, the cutting forces increase due to the increased porosity ratio.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77325161","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}

This experiment was carried out in magnesia crucible with vacuum induction furnace and the intermediate samples were taken at 1, 5, 10, and 15 min after Ti3O5 addition. At 20th min, the furnace was powered off to get furnace-cooled cast sample. For intermediate samples, it is found that with increasing treatment time, the titanium content increased though the acid–soluble aluminum content remained stable. Besides, the Ti-bearing oxides were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Moreover, statistical analysis indicated that for Ti-bearing oxide, both number density and titanium content after further normalization increased with increasing processing time. For cast sample, the characteristic of Ti-bearing oxide at different heights are similar. These results confirmed the adding valid of Ti3O5, which may be due to its decomposition. Finally, after heat treatment, these introduced Ti-bearing oxides can induce the intragranular ferrite nucleation. This indicates the effectiveness of external adding method in oxide metallurgy.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85107372","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}

An optimal shape was aimed to minimize the notch factor without causing yield anywhere in the bar by parametrically controlling the spline of the fillet via ANSYS parametric design language code. Optimal shapes of B-spline curves were obtained for round bars subject to axial tension loadings.

In the experiments, the changes in tool life and surface roughness were analyzed by using 150, 180, and 210 m/min cutting speeds; 0.1 mm feed; and 0.8 mm depth of cut. Increasing cutting speed significantly increased wear and reduced tool life. However, experiments with cutting speeds of 180 m/min and 210 m/min had the same tool life values. In addition, significant notch wear and BUE formation were observed on the tool surface. Besides, it was determined that the surface roughness deteriorated due to tool wear.

Firstly, the microstructural inspections were performed by helping an optical microscope. Second, a numerical simulation study was performed using SolidWorks and ANSYS software. Therefore, these data were evaluated with modeling for understanding the events in zone of FSSW center. Thus, it could be contributed to understand the complex thermo-mechanical joining process period. The present simulation primarily aims to explain the effect of a set of process such as parameters and tool geometry on the workpiece couples. Johnson–Cook damage criteria model was selected to obtain the stress distribution on the workpiece couples consisting of AA7075. The model also showed that temperature and stress did not exhibit much appreciable change on flow with the change of the tip profile. As a result, it was found that tool rotation speed and tool plunge depth are highly effective on both microstructure and numerical modeling properties, apart from the tool geometry, which is one of the welding parameters.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78228639","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}
