Improvements are: (i) phase areas are clearly presented, (ii) phase volume percentages are given, and (iii) overlapped phase areas are revealed. To meet high-strength requirement, a heat input of 21 kJ cm−1 was referenced from the welding CCT diagram, for achieving acicular ferrite and lath-like martensite. Transformed phase volume fractions are estimated and high strength and good toughness are obtained due to the elaborate phase information.

Nonlinear distribution through the thickness direction of Nano-fillers is considered in the present study. Thus, the mechanical properties of the nanotubes vary through the thickness and are evaluated using a modified rule of mixture. In the finite element analysis formulation, the first-order shear deformation theory has been implemented by using the exponential law. The obtained results show a better distribution of CNTs through the thickness, which leads to an improved plate stiffness. An increase in the natural frequencies is thus expected. The obtained results show the five natural frequencies which compare well with those available in the literature.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"73 1","pages":"2680 - 2689"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79595461","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 addition of IHAM rod was conducive to increase the equiaxed grain ratio (EGR) and alleviate the central carbon segregation, while the IHAM cored wire played a more important role in reducing the inclusion index.

The enhanced precipitation of θ′ and α-dispersoids in 2xxx and 3xxx alloys, respectively, are proposed to result from the heterogeneous nucleation on earlier-formed Cd-rich nanoparticles, while the enhanced precipitation of β′′ in 6xxx alloys is attributed to the increased number density of effective Mg-Si co-clusters due to the Cd incorporation.
