The effect of rotation and various frequencies with two temperature (WTT) are depicted graphically on the resulting quantities. The proposed model is helpful for finding the type of relations between mechanical and thermal fields as most of the structural elements of heavy industries are frequently related to mechanical and thermal stresses at a higher temperature.","PeriodicalId":35049,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Microstructure and Materials Properties","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45780575","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}

Structural characterisation was examined in different samples using different techniques. At lower frequency range, the frequency dependence of the total conductivity was nearly constant and then followed a power relation as frequency and temperature increased. The observed values of the exponent S were somehow frequency-dependent and decreased with increasing temperature from 1.3 to 0.2 for the composition when x = 0.15. The cutoff frequency from dc to the dispersive region, ωc, increased with temperature. In addition, ωc values were within the same range as other values. Total conductivity σtot(ω) was found to be thermally activated of the Arrhenius type.","PeriodicalId":35049,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Microstructure and Materials Properties","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48578036","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 analysis results show that, the overall deformation of steel lining structure is small, which can meet the requirement of stiffness, the stress of steel lining structure is complex, the stress concentration at the stiffening ring is very high, the stress value of other parts is low, and the general stress value does not exceed 43.0 MPa, and the stress distribution is more uniform.

This study aims to investigate the texture evolution and mechanical properties of samples with martensite structure deformed by two different forging processes. The martensitic steel samples were forged by plane strain compression and multi-directional forging up to the same true strain of 2. All samples were then annealed at 450 and 550°C for 30 min. It was found that the active slip systems in BCT crystalline structure of martensite acted like ferrite steel. After multi-directional forging of martensitic steel, the yield and ultimate strength greatly increased to 1278 and 1658 MPa, respectively. During annealing, in the plane strain compressed sample, the 'oriented nucleation' and in the multi-directional forged specimen, 'selective growth' theory was dominant.","PeriodicalId":35049,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Microstructure and Materials Properties","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41644277","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}

Tunnel FET has potential to reduce static power consumption to design below 20 nm technology within thermal limits thus increases the scope of future scaling trends. A new asymmetric Ge-Si0.7Ge0.3 hetero-junction tunnel FET (HTFET) is proposed with different oxide thickness from source and drain side. The asymmetric Ge-Si0.7Ge0.3 HTFET has steep subthreshold characteristic, low DIBL with high ION/IOFF current ratio for operating voltage less than 1V. The proposed design can be fabricated easily due to the similar lattice structure of Ge and Si. The ION/IOFF current ratio greater than 108 is achieved for gate length of 15 nm in nHTFET having Pt/HfO2 as gate contact and oxide material. The lowering of parasitic BJT effect in OFF state condition is also achieved in the same.","PeriodicalId":35049,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Microstructure and Materials Properties","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45289093","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}

According to the experimental data, a constitutive equation was established and a mathematical model for dynamic recrystallisation was established to predict the volume fraction of dynamic recrystallisation. To reveal the plastic deformation, the bending process for a large S34MnV marine crank was simulated by Deform-3D. The stress and strain field of the bending process was obtained and analysed based on the simulation. Finally, to study the effect of the bending process on the crank, a bending process of a crank produced with a hydropress in the factory was studied. The microstructure and mechanical properties in three different positions of the bending crank were analysed. It was concluded that the bending process would reduce the uniformity of the microstructure and mechanical properties, owing to the nonuniformity of the deformation.","PeriodicalId":35049,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Microstructure and Materials Properties","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43481463","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}
