This work finds that a topologically optimized structure of α-type commercial-purity titanium (CP-Ti) produced by selective laser melting presents excellent fatigue properties with an ultra-high normalized fatigue life of ~0.65 at 10<sup>6</sup> cycles at a low density of 1.3 g/cm<sup>3</sup>. All factors affecting fatigue have been studied, including material microstructure and porous structure stress analysis. The topologically optimized structure can effectively increase the fatigue life by reducing stress concentrations. The cyclic ratcheting effect plays a dominant role in fatigue crack initiation for the topologically optimized structure. As a results of twinning occurred during the fatigue process, the porous CP-Ti sample exhibits a higher ductility than the Ti-6Al-4V sample with the same structure, which delayed the fatigue crack initiation and therefore produced a higher fatigue life. In addition, the fatigue crack propagation rate was reduced significantly because of the large plastic zone ahead of the fatigue crack tip and the effect of fatigue crack deflection and bifurcation.","PeriodicalId":438337,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Metals & Alloys (Topic)","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132456772","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}

We propose a general Landau free energy model to study doping effects, which only assume that point defects produce local dilatational stresses coupled to the non-order parameter volumetric strain. Different dopants can be represented by their range of interaction and potency of dilatational stress. Time-dependent simulations based on our model successfully reproduce experimentally observed doping effects in SMAs, including the elevation or suppression of the transformation temperature, the modification of mechanical properties, the appearance of a cross-hatched tweed structure and the emergence of a frozen glassy state with local strain order. We predict that the temperature range for superelasticity will be enhanced in the crossover regime between martensite and strain glass. In addition, an Elinvar effect appears most likely in alloys with dopants tending to increase the transformation temperature, which needs to be verified experimentally. Moreover, the two dopant parameters in the Landau model, the interaction range and potency of the dilatational stress, inspire us to identify three material descriptors with which we can construct an empirical machine learning model. The model predicts the transformation temperature, and the slope of the change in transformation temperature as a function of doping composition, enabling an effective search for doped SMAs with targeted properties via machine learning.","PeriodicalId":438337,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Metals & Alloys (Topic)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130217591","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}

What is missing in such considerations is an analysis of how a dopant changes the properties of the crystal phases which can form instead of the glass. In order to illuminate this aspect we performed molecular dynamics simulations to study the effects of Mg and Sm dopants on the crystal nucleation in Al. The simulation data were found to be consistent with the experimental observations that addition of Mg to Al does not lead to vitrification but addition of only 8% Sm does. The significant effect of Sm doping was related to the intolerance of Al to this dopant. This leads to increase in the solid-liquid interfacial free energy, and therefore, to increase in the nucleation barrier and to dramatic decrease in the nucleation rate. The intolerance mechanism also significantly affects the growth kinetics.","PeriodicalId":438337,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Metals & Alloys (Topic)","volume":"23 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114130062","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 aim of research is description of the distribution of the hardness value of structural cast iron of serial meltings in the C–Ceq factor space at fixed values of the Cr–Ni–Cu–Ti alloy content in narrow intervals. It is shown that a polynomial regression equation of the form HB=HB(C, Ceq) can be used to obtain a workable analytical description. It is shown that such structure of the equation and those obtained by the method of least squares corresponding coefficient estimates provide 92 % accuracy of the forecast even with a small sample of data.On the basis of the canonical transformation of the response surface and its ridge analysis, it is established that it is possible in principle to satisfy different requirements for hardness. So, if the range of the planning area C=(3.42–3.57) % and Ceq=(4.2–4.4) % is chosen as the imposed constraint, then several suboptimal solutions are possible. This is the case if the task of minimizing hardness is not set and the range HB=180–250 satisfies the quality requirements specified by the production conditions. If the priority is hardness minimization, then the suboptimal solution is one and it is like the point of intersection of the constraint line (r=1.414) and the lower ridge line y=y(r). On the basis of this, it is concluded that the suboptimal solutions are multivariant, depending on the requirements of production. A nomogram has been constructed, which makes it possible to select in a rational way the technological regimes of out-of-furnace treatment in the part concerning the adjustment of the chemical composition of the alloy.","PeriodicalId":438337,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Metals & Alloys (Topic)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131047682","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}

Generally automobile castings are having varying section thickness. Varying thickness castings offers different cooling rates while solidification of the casting.

Cooling rate was found to be affect directly the amount of pearlite and ultimately as cast properties in varying thickness ductile iron castings.

Casting is unique manufacturing processes for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the most obvious is the array of molding and casting processes available that are capable of producing complex components in any metal, ranging in weight from less than an ounce to single parts weighing several hundred tons. Foundry processes are available and in use that are economically viable for producing a single prototype part, while others achieve their economies in creating millions of the same part. Virtually any metal that can be melted can and is being cast. Many parts and components are made by casting, including automotive components such as carburettors, engine blocks, crankshafts, agricultural and rail road equipments, pipe and pumping fixtures, power tools, gun barrels and large components of hydraulic turbines etc. \u0000Since 1950, partially automated casting processes have been developed for production lines.It is estimated that castings are used in 90% or more of all manufactured goods and in all capital goods machinery used in manufacturing. The diversity in the end use of metal castings is a direct result of the many functional advantages and economic benefits that castings offer compared to other metal forming methods.
