The study provides a foundation for determining the effect of rejuvenation heat treatment on CE steels by making comparisons to the VG steel. Hot compression tests were conducted in the temperature range of 900 °C to 1050 °C, at strain rates of 0.1–10 s⁻¹ to a total strain of 0.6, and stress–strain curves were obtained. The flow stress curves of both steels exhibited dynamic recovery (DRV) characteristics as the main softening mechanism. Constitutive constants of steady-state stresses were determined. The stress exponents, n, were 6.62 (VG) and 5.58 (CE), and the apparent activation energy values were 380.36 kJmol⁻¹(VG) and 435.70 kJmol⁻¹ (CE). Analysis of the activation energies showed that VG steel had better workability properties than CE steel and was easier to deform at high temperatures. Constitutive equations for predicting the flow stress in the two steels were established. This were verified by statistical tools: Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R) and Absolute Average Relative Error (AARE). The results showed R-values were, 0.98 (VG) and 0.99 (CE), and the AARE values for VG were 4.17% and 9.01% for CE. The statistical parameters indicated a good correlation between the experimental and predicted values. The constitutive equations therefore adequately described the flow stress behaviour of both steels and can therefore efficiently analyse industrial metal forming schedules.</p>","PeriodicalId":50345,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140299525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This material offers an interesting combination of mechanical and corrosion resistance. Although the weldability was improved in relation to conventional martensitic steels, due to the drastic reduction of carbon content, post-weld heat treatments are still necessary to decrease the hardness of the heat affected zone (HAZ). The UNS S41426 is used to manufacture mandrels for chemical products or gas injection in the well in the oil and gas off-shore production. Those mandrels are constructed with forged parts and hot rolled seamless pipes joined by welding. The microstructure, hardness, toughness, and sensitization of simulated HAZ of SMSS UNS S41426 forged and hot rolled were investigated. The effect of single tempering at 650 °C for 5 min and at 620 °C for 1 h, as well as double tempering (670 °C/2 h + 600 °C/2 h), was analyzed. The short duration tempering treatments did not change considerably the microstructure, but provoked an undesirable decrease of toughness.

Lap joints of the abovementioned alloys were performed using a 1030-nm Yb:YAG LBW process with a laser power of 3000 W and 3500 W. The microstructure of base metals (BM), heat-affected zone (HAZ), and fusion zone (FZ) was investigated by means of visible light microscopy (VLM) under non-polarized and polarized light, as well as of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), while the crystal structure was evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The mechanical properties of welded samples were investigated through Vickers microhardness and tensile shear tests. Furthermore, the fracture surfaces were observed under a stereoscope and a SEM. The metallographic examination revealed the presence of small defects, such as pores, with a diameter ranging from 20 to 50 μm, and microcracks, whose length ranged from 300 to 400 μm. Reducing the laser power was observed to affect the weld geometry, and more specifically the penetration, that was found at 900 μm for the samples welded with 3500 W and 333 μm for those welded with 3000 W.

To date, many fabrication techniques have been used to form such composites. Most of them are based on pressure-assisted sintering of glassy and crystalline components. However, the selection of the heating temperature and holding time is challenging due to the low thermal stability of the metallic glasses (MGs). In this study, a solid-state magnetic pulse welding (MPW) technique was used for manufacturing laminated Ti-based composites with Zr-based MG reinforcement. The structure of the interfaces between Ti and MG layers was studied using light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SXRD). The experimental study was supplemented with smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) numerical simulations. The Ti-MG-Ti composite obtained by MPW possessed high quality of joint and had no macroscopic defects such as cracks or lack of fusion. The formation of a firm joint was provided by the plastic flow of titanium. Deformation processes in the titanium plates developed mainly in the interfacial zones, while the MG ribbons subjected to deformation by shear mechanism through the entire thickness. Due to the short-term thermal impact and high cooling rates, MPW retained a disordered structure of MG, despite local melting occurring at the interfaces and in shear bands.

High-fidelity surrogate models are ensured through the implementation of space-filling design and Gaussian process regression. Sensitivity analysis (SA) is employed to quantify the influence of input parameters, while an evolutionary algorithm drives the MOO process. The efficacy of the framework is demonstrated by applying it to optimize SR and porosity in a case study, achieving a significant reduction in SR and porosity levels using data from existing literature. The Gaussian process model achieves a commendable cross-validation <em>R</em>2 score of 0.79, indicating a strong correlation between the predicted and actual values with minimal relative mean errors.

This remarkable hybrid approach has only recently been applied to different steel types and barely to Ni superalloys which opposite to steel appear to be challenging for milling processes, particularly within the powderbed of laser powder bed fusion. Different influencing factors on the surface roughness are varied in this study, following the Taguchi method. Their effect is evaluated with respect to the average surface roughness and the maximum surface roughness. The signal-to-noise ratio for the varied parameters infeed, z-pitch, feed rate, and spindle speed is calculated, determining their relevance on the surface roughness, and defining an optimal parameter combination. As the surface quality is optimized to <span>(varvec{R_a=0.47, mu m})</span>, the definition of the optimal parameter combination is of the highest relevance for the application of this novel manufacturing approach for Inconel.
