Magnetic process control has advantages over mechanical control methods, since it is carried out without contact with the welding zone. The study of processes leading to a decrease in the concentration of defects in metals, recombination of dislocations, polygonization, recrystallization, defect healing, etc., is an urgent task for technologists. The purpose of the work is to study the laws of formation of phase composition, microhardness, grain, lath, subgrain, dislocation structures of low-alloy steel welds in underwater welding and the relationship of structural parameters with the properties of strength and crack resistance of these joints. Microstructure studies were carried out by light, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. Mathematical modelling was carried out to optimize the research efficiency. The developed computer application implements the idea of sequential calculation of quantities, where the value of the welding current and the current in the inductor is selected by the researcher. The influence of structural factors at the dislocation level on local internal stresses, which determine the deformation localization zones in the structures of the upper and lower bainites in the deposited metal, is analyzed. The conditions for obtaining high-quality welded joints in the welding of low-alloy steels, which ensure their strength and crack resistance, are established.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139848475","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}

This study utilizes Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) analyses to explore the disparities associated with chip size as raw materials for molded products. Bamboo fiber, characterized by its substantial cellulose content and high strength, is contrasted with bamboo powder, which contains significant amounts of lignin and exhibits potential adhesive properties. Building upon these findings, the powder was added to the conventional fiber alone, with results demonstrating that a predetermined ratio (20%) of the powder yields optimal mechanical properties. Moreover, employing a parameter representing the degree of lignin flow utilized in previous molding studies, the study establishes the optimum molding conditions (PD'=1.031) to maximize tensile strength (37.8 MPa) when incorporating a 20% powder mixture.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139849981","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}

In this research, the forming limit curve generated from the Materials Model was applied to analyze and predict the fracture behavior of the fuel tank workpiece, a motorcycle part made of AA5754-O material, using the deep drawing process simulated by the finite element method. The research involved a comparison with actual cracks that occur in the automotive industry after molding. To determine the mechanical properties of the AA5754-O material for use in the forming limit curve, a specimen with a thickness of 1.5 mm was subjected to a tensile strength test, providing the necessary input for the mechanical properties in the forming limit curve based on the Keeler-Beizer equation. The forming limit curve is a correlation graph between major strain and minor strain. When the FLC is created from the Materials Model, it is utilized in conjunction with deep drawing drag simulation in the PAM-STAMP program to predict the fracture point. The accuracy of the mathematically generated FLC in predicting fracture behavior was verified after the deep drawing process. The study found that the FLC based on the Keeler-Beizer equation can accurately predict the cracking behavior of AA5754-O sheet metal, enabling identification of the fracture location during the deep drawing process. One advantage of creating the FLC from the material models is its compatibility with the same material but with different workpiece shapes, allowing its use in conjunction with molding simulations using various programs. This approach saves costs associated with testing to obtain the FLC.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":" 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139787770","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}

Eutectic crystallization of pro-eutectic alloys under substantial super-cooling is demonstrated to be a complex process, comprising several partial crystallization processes and the synchronous dissolution of crystalline phases: austenite and two metastable carbides, Fe3C and Fe7C3. The kinetics of the eutectic transformation L→L+Fe7C3 in its microscopic and thermal (DSC) imaging has been studied. In general, crystallization proceeds according to the scheme L→L+Fe7C3+γ→L+Fe7C3+γ+Fe3C→ Fe7C3+γ+Fe3C. Consequently, plate-like eutectic (Fe7C3+γ) with an austenite matrix and ledeburite (Fe3C+γ) with a cementite matrix are formed. A schematic diagram of the metastable phase equilibria in the Fe-C system is provided. In the conducted experiments, phase transformations occur in two subsystems: Fe-Fe3C (at low supercooling) and Fe-Fe7C3 (a subsystem of metastable equilibria of the second, higher degree of metastability at large supercooling). This is confirmed by the replacement of the carbide phase and different equilibrate concentrations of austenite in metastable equilibrium with each of the carbides.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":" 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139787943","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}

During this process, polymers are melted in separate machines and then extrudate from different die channels. Once these channels converge, the polymers meet and flow through a single channel. The surface where the two fluids face is called “interface”. It is crucial to maintain the interface's uniformity and stability in order to achieve the desired multi-layered structure. Most of the issues in co-extrusion are related to issues that can be classified into two categories such as polymer encapsulation/interfacial distortion and die swell. To solve these problems, designers focus on improving the interface's stability. This paper examines effects of cross-section modification of the two-channel feedblock on the interface location and velocity and pressure distributions of the flow. The ANSYS software was used to simulate the co-extrusion of polymers, LLDPE and HDPE, in two-channel feedblock with rectangular, circular, and straight slot cross-sections. The results show that sharp corners increase the thickness of dead zones, while rounding them decreases the thickness. Additionally, stadium-shaped (or straight-slot) cross-section channels can move the flow with a higher maximum velocity and thinner boundary layer combining the results of rectangular and circular feedblocks.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":" 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139790132","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}

Humidity is a crucial environmental parameter that can profoundly influence the properties and performance of plastic materials. To ensure the long-term performance and dependability of plastic products, it is essential to comprehend and take into consideration the impacts of moisture on plastics. Humidity plays a fundamental role in the degradation and functional changes of plastic materials. Moisture absorption can lead to reduced mechanical strength and accelerated degradation processes. The selection of appropriate materials that can withstand humid conditions becomes paramount in product design. For this reason it is important to evaluate the moisture absorption properties of plastic materials. Different polymers exhibit varying degrees of moisture diffusion rates that directly affect their performance in humid environments. Evaluation of moisture measurement results allows designers to make informed decisions during material selection. For this reason, we designed an experiment to investigate which material retains less moisture. In our research, we determined 2 different experimental groups. The first of these groups (type A) was kept under normal conditions by adding glass fiber additive at different rates to the PA66 material, and each product with 3 different additives was tested for moisture for 10 days and the results were recorded. In the second experimental group, type B, the products produced with the same material and additives at the same rate were kept in water for 24 hours, then they were removed from the water and moisture tests were performed. It is aimed to make material selection by interpreting the test results and thus to facilitate the making of designs suitable for use.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":" 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139789387","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}
