The serration bands tend to straighten at a cutting speed of 125 m/min, which is the main cause of the chips being straightened without tangling for both coated tools. TiSiVN coated tool accounts for higher chip sliding velocity due to the generation of lubricious phases, whereas the higher V for uncoated tool indicates high tool wear at the highest cutting speed of 125 m/min. Further, r and tend to have an inverse relationship with V with 125 m/min cutting speed remaining an exception due to severe changes in tool wear dynamics. The reduction of friction helped to lower the localized strain along the shear bands and the effective stress at the beginning of the formation of the serrated tooth.","PeriodicalId":501120,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Research and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179967","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}

Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloys, noted for their superior properties, are selected for three-roll skew rolling (TRSR). In TRSR, the material undergoes combined axial tensile and radial compressive stresses. This study evaluates the feasibility of TRSR for producing high-strength lightweight hollow stepped shafts from Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloy. An integrated approach, including constitutive modeling, hot processing map development, and TRSR numerical simulations/experiments, is employed to optimize the TRSR forming process. The constitutive model was established based on 300°C–450 °C & 0.01–10 s hot compression and 350°C–430 °C & 0.1–5 s high-temperature tensile test data. The established Johnson-Cook optimization by genetic algorithms (GA-JC) model and unified viscoplastic constitutive model, accurately capture the alloy's hot deformation behavior, exhibiting minimal average absolute relative errors (AARE) of 5.431% and 5.808%, respectively. Microstructure evolution analyses shed light on the predominant softening mechanisms, emphasizing dynamic recovery (DRV) at elevated strain rates and diminishing texture intensity with escalating deformation temperatures. The composite hot processing map delineates optimal process parameters (400°C–450 °C & 0.1s-1s), facilitating informed decision-making in manufacturing practices. The validation of numerical simulations through TRSR forming experiments with initial temperature of 450 °C for the billet and axial moving speed of 10 mm/s for the chuck in affirms the feasibility of producing hollow stepped shafts from high-strength Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloy. Close agreement was found between simulated and experimental wall thickness variations. This study enhances understanding and optimization of TRSR forming for high-strength lightweight alloys, advancing industrial manufacturing methodologies.","PeriodicalId":501120,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Research and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179970","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}

Welding is performed by adding single HEA and Cu/HEA double foils as interlayer respectively. We conducted in-depth studies on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the joint by stereomicroscopy, metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), micro-area X-ray diffraction (XRD), nanoindentation, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and tensile testing. The results indicate that the position of the copper foil significantly affects the microstructure and performance of the joint. When the copper foil is on the TC4 side, its lower melting point causes a deeper keyhole, resulting in a narrower weld bead and then reduced content of Fe and Ti in the weld. Simultaneously, the increased proportion of Cu in the weld significantly enhances the content of Cu-rich phases. In the weld zone, we observed freely distributed Cu-rich phases and Ti-rich phases generated along the interface. Under tensile loads, cracks primarily initiate and propagate along the Cu-rich phases, leading to typical delamination on the fracture surface. With the copper foil on the TC4 side, due to the increased copper content in the microstructure, the hardness of the interface between the titanium alloy and the weld decreases, while the joint exhibits the highest tensile strength, reaching a maximum of 417 MPa.","PeriodicalId":501120,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Research and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179966","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 effects of different contents of SiC particles on the microstructure and mechanical properties of CoCrFeNi HEA were investigated. The results indicate that the addition of SiC particles led to the formation of the CrC phase, which refined the grain size and shifted the grain orientation from <001> to <101>.

The effect of Nb addition on grain refinement and inhibition of discontinuous precipitation (DP) in Cu–15Ni–8Sn alloys was systematically studied to elucidate the mechanism by which microstructural characteristics contribute to strength improvement. The results indicate that the increase the Nb content from 0 to 0.6 wt% reduces the average grain size of the as-cast alloy from approximately 524.8 μm to approximately 81.3 μm, and significantly decreases the lamellar transition structure region (α+γ). During solution treatment, dispersed needle-like NbNi phases were observed in the Cu–15Ni–8Sn-0.2Nb alloy. After aging, the DP growth rate in the Cu–15Ni–8Sn-0.2Nb alloy was notably slower than those of the other alloys. This was attributed to NbNi phases at the grain boundaries hindering DP nucleation, with intragranular NbNi phases inhibiting DP growth. The phase transformation order of the solid solution Cu–15Ni–8Sn-0.2Nb at 673 K aging is: spinodal structure → D0 ordered phase → L1 ordered phase → DP. The hardness and tensile strength of the Cu–15Ni–8Sn-0.2Nb alloy peaked at 338.3 HV and 725.42 MPa, respectively, after aging for 120 min. Using the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov (JMAK) and Arrhenius equations, the activation energies of DP in Cu–15Ni–8Sn-Nb (x = 0, 0.2, 0.6 wt%) alloys were calculated to be 93.19, 148.64, and 98.33 kJ/mol, respectively. These values suggest that the diffusion of DP atoms in the Nb-containing alloys is hindered, which effectively inhibits DP formation.","PeriodicalId":501120,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Research and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179982","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 agglomeration problem in the ceramic powder drying process must be resolved to prepare high-quality ceramic powder, and choosing the right drying techniques can significantly lessen ceramic powder agglomeration. YO–AlO–ZrO ceramic powder was dried using microwave drying. The drying kinetics of the powders were examined with their initial mass, moisture content, and microwave power. As microwave power, beginning moisture content, and initial mass rose, the average drying rate also increased, according to the experimental data. To better characterize the microwave drying process, the drying data were fitted and analyzed using four thin-layer drying kinetic models, namely Quadratic Model, Modified Page, Wang and Singh, and Two-term exponential. The outcomes demonstrate the good fitting effect of the Modified Page model and the compliance of the fitting parameters with the law. The samples before and after drying were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Calculating the diffusion coefficient by Fick's second law shows that the effective diffusion coefficient of YO–AlO–ZrO composite ceramic powder is 5.6 × 10 m/s when the initial moisture content is 5%, the microwave heating power is 560 W, and the initial mass is 25 g. The activation energy for microwave drying of YO–AlO–ZrO ceramic powders was calculated to be 22.83 W/g according to the Arrhenius formula.

However, there exists a lack of comprehensive knowledge of the effects of grain size (GS) on the electrical properties of NiTi alloy. To address this gap, a novel electro-mechanical coupled phase field simulation model is developed, with crucial parameters determined through experimental investigations. The results demonstrate a notable change in the relationship between electrical resistivity and strain, transitioning from a quasi-linear pattern to a piecewise nonlinear one as the GS increases. The observed modification is found to be primarily influenced by the martensitic transformation, characterized by a transition from a uniform mode to a localized mode. As the GS increases, there is an initial drop in the total change of electrical resistivity at peak strain, followed by a subsequent stabilization. This is because the GS, through the stress and the degree of phase transformation, exerts two opposing effects on the variation of electrical resistivity. Furthermore, the combined influence of hysteresis and hysteresis in the martensite fraction contributes to a consistent decrease in resistivity hysteresis as the GS diminishes. This study improves the understanding of how GS affects NiTi alloy's electrical resistivity-strain response and lays the foundation for future sensing performance regulation, expanding its multi-functionality as an intelligent material.","PeriodicalId":501120,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Research and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179978","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}
