Here we report results of open porosity determination via weighing of a dry sample, followed by evacuation and saturation with distilled water at atmospheric pressure; via pressure infiltration with water using a manostat system; and by mercury intrusion porosimetry. We have studied porous nickel samples prepared by a powder metallurgy process involving sintering of green compacts consisting of mixtures of nickel nanopowder and ammonium bicarbonate (NH₄HCO₃) powder as a pore former, with volume fractions of 80 and 20%, respectively. The particle size ranges of the pore former were 63–125, 140–200, and 250–315 μm. For the three methods used to determine open porosity, we theoretically evaluated the size of pores accessible to infiltrating liquid. The results demonstrate that, in the case of saturation with water after evacuation, the liquid can penetrate only pores more than 3 μm in size. Moreover, in the case of porous structures with a large fraction of submicron pores, the open porosity determined via saturation with distilled water after evacuation is considerably underestimated. The larger the fraction of small pores in the material, the larger the underestimation. The difference between the open porosity values obtained via pressure infiltration with water and by mercury porosimetry is insignificant. We demonstrate that, of the three porosity determination methods, only saturation with distilled water after evacuation cannot be used to analyze structures with submicron pores. The results we obtained can be useful in designing porous functional materials and articles with a tailored pore structure.</p>","PeriodicalId":585,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Materials","volume":"60 4","pages":"420 - 424"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143583551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown that, in the region of elevated and high temperatures, which determine the manifestation of temperature and time effects in the material, the rate and duration of deformation which enter the basic equation for determination of the fatigue life through the frequency and time of loading become the most significant parameters determining the fracture process. The results of theoretical and experimental study carried out on nickel superalloy specimens under a rigid mode of loading and high temperatures have shown that estimation of the strength and fatigue life in this case for the single-frequency and two-frequency modes of loading can be performed on the basis of the analysis of strain parameters and diagrams of cyclic elastoplastic deformation using the deformation-kinetic criterion of summation of damage accumulated in the material. A decrease in the fatigue life under two-frequency mode of loading and the possibility of estimating it using the specified criterion and corresponding dependences with the introduction of the parameters of frequency/amplitude ratios of the strains (both full and that imposed on the main process) are experimentally proved. The calculated dependences include the parameters of temperature conditions and frequency and duration of loading, which allows (when assessing damage from low-frequency and high-frequency components of cyclic strains) taking into account the effects of cyclicity and time of loading, as well as the existence of a variable coefficient of the asymmetry of high-frequency cycles of the two-frequency mode during high-temperature cyclic elastoplastic deformation.</p>","PeriodicalId":585,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Materials","volume":"60 4","pages":"547 - 552"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143583341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work presents the results of investigation into cavitation in technical fluids by recording hydro- and sonoluminescence. The conditions for the occurrence of hydro- and sonoluminescence were analyzed concerning the geometry of a narrow channel, utilizing a high-speed camera and a photomultiplier for recording. Universal threshold values for the deformation rate at which hydroluminescence occurs were obtained in the range of 10⁵–10⁶ s^–1, and a methodology was developed for recording hydro- and sonoluminescence in narrow channels to study the stages of cavitation development. In the developed experimental setup, the high-pressure circuit was divided into a pressure circuit and a measurement circuit. In the pressure circuit, the hydraulic oil pressure was generated using a gear pump. Through a hydraulic cylinder and a movable piston, it was transmitted to the fluid in the measurement circuit, which was then passed under pressure through a narrow channel. The proposed geometry of the narrow channel allowed for the separation of the phenomenon of hydroluminescence in the narrow channel and sonoluminescence with subsequent cavitation as the fluid exited into a diffuser owing to a drop in pressure. The design of the setup and the methodology enabled the investigation of cavitation effects for a wide range of technical fluids, including those aggressive to high-pressure pump materials.

To study them, it is necessary to conduct specialized narrow-focus tests using machines and installations with appropriate experimental techniques. This paper presents the design of an electromagnetic installation for fatigue and frequency stability testing operating in a self-oscillating mode, in which the cyclic loading frequency is always equal to the natural frequency of oscillations of a sample. The installation control system contains two closed loops—for excitation of self-oscillations and for the oscillation amplitude stabilization. The sample is loaded by electromagnetic force and unloaded owing to the elastic forces of the material. This work presents a technique and algorithms for calculating the stresses of samples of various geometric shapes to assess changes in the amplitude–frequency characteristics. A calculated relationship is established between the force applied to the sample and its displacement at the point of force application, followed by determining the stress by the known force. The results of calibration tests for the static loading mode of samples are presented and the forces acting on the sample (external, inertia, elasticity) are estimated taking into account the maximum stress and maximum deformation amplitude. Static and cyclic loading modes are compared. The frequency characteristics are obtained when testing steel samples according to the proposed method. An analysis of the experimental results of tests with breaks during cyclic loading and continuous tests is carried out. It is shown that breaks in cyclic tests lead to an abrupt increase in frequency, while such jumps are absent during continuous tests. At the same time, a comparative analysis of the results of the considered types of tests showed that the total frequency deviation for the entire operating cycle is approximately the same in both cases. It is shown that the increase in frequency after rest is random and does not depend on the number of operating cycles.</p>","PeriodicalId":585,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Materials","volume":"60 4","pages":"494 - 501"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143583579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The latter is especially important, since accidents or unplanned shutdowns of power equipment cause great economic damage. Standard methods of technical diagnostics in assessing the residual life of equipment include mechanical testing of samples cut out of equipment parts, determination of their chemical composition, structural studies, and fractography of the metal. Both fractures of samples specially cut for mechanical testing and surfaces of destruction that occurred during operation are studied. The danger of developing hydrogen embrittlement in metals is well known. The presence of brittle fracture areas or facets is usually associated with hydrogen-induced destruction or hydrogen embrittlement. Direct measurements of the concentration of hydrogen dissolved in metal samples are not regulated by standards; therefore, diagnostics of the development of hydrogen embrittlement is only qualitative. Our studies show that standard approaches are insufficient for technical diagnostics of the pipes of heating surfaces of boiler equipment. Hydrogen accumulation during operation may not have visible signs of corrosion or structural changes. It was found that hydrogen and external thermomechanical load induce anisotropy of mechanical and structural properties of steels of pipes of heating surfaces. As a result, the nature of destruction of samples cut from pipe walls depends on the orientation of test loads relative to the main axes of the stress tensor of operational (working) loads. The obtained experimental data allow us to conclude that, when establishing the causes of accidents and examining working heat exchangers in order to assess their residual life, it is necessary to additionally measure the distribution of the concentration of dissolved hydrogen in the metal and mechanically test ring samples.</p>","PeriodicalId":585,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Materials","volume":"60 4","pages":"516 - 527"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143583580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
