Although it tries to capture the influence of the given process by using the safety constants of the notch effect both of the weld and the thermal influence, it is only a theoretical estimation. Due to that, it very often results in large oversizing and, in worse cases, in under-sizing of the engineering design. As a result, there is either an overly robust and heavy construction, which is unacceptable (especially when applied in the automotive industry) or on the contrary, there is failure of parts due to cracks earlier than their planned service life is reached. The paper shows the effect of MAG welding method on the fatigue life of fillet and butt welds made of the fine-grained structural steel S460MC. The comparison of such influence is performed via using experimentally determined Wöhler curves of the parent material and both types of welded joints.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87604210","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}

Their significant expansion is result of unique properties combination. The requirements of current automotive industry bring demands for high mechanical properties of silumins (mostly by high temperature processes, which decrease properties of aluminum alloys). One area of application where silumins replace the Fe based alloys are forms for tires pressing. Working temperature during this casting process is 160-180 °C, but nowadays trends for rubber vulcanization in tires production increase working temperature over 200 °C. Ordinary aluminum alloys lose their mechanical properties at this temperature. The article describes results of research of newly developed alloy applied for tire pressing forms. This research was subsequently widened by heat treatment being applied to this alloy. Both of these material characteristics (chemical composition and heat treatment) preserve its mechanical properties even when being exposed to high temperature processes.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88738698","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}

One of the solutions how to extend service life of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) is thermal annealing, which became a verified technology and its application in nuclear industry was prompted mainly due to an inability of RPV exchange. At present time, there is no comparable method for RPV internals that are not monitored by surveillance program and their material is exposed to significantly more intense neutron flux than the RPV. Paper presents the thermal annealing as one of the possible solutions to provide and re-establish sufficient mechanical properties of RPV internals during the operation. According to previously obtained results of unirradiated material, two thermal annealing regimes for irradiated experimental material were selected based on the annealing temperatures of 550 and 600 °C. The possibility of recovery of mechanical properties to the level almost corresponding to the initial state by the thermal annealing was studied by hardness testing and static fracture toughness tests before and after the thermal annealing of irradiated material.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85852433","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 results showed that non-metallic inclusions over 5 µm observed in the liquid tundish samples were categorized into two types: type 1: alumina based inclusions and type 2: calcium aluminates. Compared to the tundish without weir, the number density of macro-inclusions reduces by half when furnished with weir. In addition, several large sized calcium aluminates were occasionally found without weir whereas no calcium aluminates were detected with the weir. The mechanism of the inclusion distributions with the weir was proposed based on the experimental results, which shows that the weir act as a baffle that block the large sized inclusions from moving toward the mould. After using the weir in the actual casting practice, the occurrence ratio of spot-like defects was decreased by about 25%.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84261012","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}

Due to the special features of both materials – catsability from cast iron, and toughness from steel, ADI attracts an attention of industry and science because of economic benefits and high performance at the different application areas. Austempered ductile iron was tested on tension where unconventional behaviour was observed: with the increase of tensile strength almost to 1600 MPa the metal became less brittle. Hardness test revealed absence of linear relation between strength and hardness, different hardness values ~ 40 HRC or ~ 55 HRC can be reached with the same tensile strength 1000 – 1200 MPa. After successful tensile tests the main direction of further studies was solving relevant practical wear and fatigue problems in rail-wheel system. The complex practical studies demonstrated that ADI is consistent with heat treated steels including the rail steels: required tensile strength of rail steel ranges from 1180 MPa to 1280 MPa when rolling surface hardness is expected to be in the range of 38 HRC – 44 HRC, whereas tensile strength of ADI was higher, up to 1400 MPa, and hardness slightly higher than of steel, 50 HRC. Herewith the workability of frictional couple cast iron/steel 20MnCr5G exceeded work performance of steel/steel system by 14 %. Specific properties emerged from successful ratio of three elements Mo, Ni, and Cu, and properly chosen austenitization schedule.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84328182","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}
