Evaluation of Charpy-V transition curve fitting based on distribution-free statistical assessment
(2023)
A non-parametric, distribution-free, statistical assessment of 5 large Charpy transition curve data sets is used for the optimum fitting equations for smaller data sets. The assessment makes use of a combination of rank probability and binomial probability analysis of the data. The original non-parametric assessment method is improved by combining upper and lower bound binomial estimates, thus removing a bias that exists in the original method. The non-parametric assessment is not suitable as a standard method because it requires too many data points to give a reliable result. It is, however, ideal as a research tool to examine transition curve shape and scatter. Based on the assessment several recommendations for transition curve fitting can be made.
We introduce a novel approach that combines the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) with a mortar coupling to enhance the computational modelling of elastic wave propagation and interaction with local features in the ultrasonic range. The key objective is to achieve decoupling between different regions of interest, enabling independent meshes for the zones where waves either propagate or interact with localised discontinuities in the elastic media. This decoupling allows us to exploit the benefits offered by various SBFEM formulations. Thus, we can select the most suitable solution for each specific region. An important concept we emphasise is the differentiation between the near field and far field regions. The near field encompasses zones where the precise representation of small features compared to the wavelength is crucial. At the same time, the far field comprises homogeneous regions where the waves propagate without interactions, eventually radiating towards infinity if the domain is unbounded. By separating these two zones, we can improve the computational performance by employing finer discretisation only where necessary. Furthermore, this decoupling enables the reuse of far field models in parametric analyses, making it highly valuable for scenarios focused particularly on local elastic wave interactions. This approach offers considerable potential in such cases. The modelling technique is validated, and its potential is demonstrated through practical applications.
Iron aluminides, already reported in the late 19th century, did not cease to attract the interest of scientists and engineers ever since. Besides good oxidation resistance, low density and resource availability, potentials for hightemperature strengths that compete with high-alloy steels were unlocked by low alloy contents. Still, research on alloy design continues, as alloying usually comes at the price of brittleness in low-temperature regimes. A potential candidate is the quinary Fe–Al–Mo–Ti–B system which is strengthened by solid solution and eutectic borides. It was shown to have good strength and outstanding creep resistance under compressive loading up to elevated temperatures. Although the individual effect of alloy additions is well understood in iron aluminides, little is known about the combined effects of alloying concentrations on microstructure, phase stability and mechanical properties. Therefore a systematic study of two Ti-doped near-Fe3Al alloys with varying contents of Mo (2–4 at.%) and B (0.5–1 at.%) was conducted. In total eight different alloys were fabricated by investment casting into ceramic shell molds. Alloys were characterized and compared by grain size, phase transitions, microstructure evolution as well as elemental compositions and volume fractions of phases. For mechanical characterization, macrohardness and microhardness tests as well as tensile tests at ambient and high tempera tures were conducted. Independent of alloy additions, alloys with 24–25 at.% Al exhibit superior proof strength due to a higher matrix hardness. Decreasing B content generally decreases strength by lower secondary phase fractions which contribute via particle hardening. Reducing Mo content decreases both the solute concentration in the matrix and secondary phase fractions. Surprisingly, strength is similar or even superior to alloys with higher Mo content. Strength relations are discussed with a focus on solid-solution hardening theory and other competing strengthening mechanisms.
The new multi-element alloying concept of systems with defined entropy (HEA — high-entropy alloy or MEA — medium-entropy alloy) is increasing in material research interest. Improved properties or combinations of properties are shown by several systems. Thus, the resulting microstructures and production of HEA/MEA as well as properties have been primarily investigated so far. Furthermore, processing is a key issue to transfer HEA/MEA systems to real components. Since welding is the most important joining process for metals, it is crucial to investigate the influence of welding to guarantee component integrity. Since most HEA are made of expensive alloying elements such as Co or Ni, they will not be used entirely as structural materials. Thus, it can be advantageous to weld conventional alloys such as austenitic stainless steels with the HEA and MEA to produce components that are both application-oriented and economically viable. Therefore, in this paper, first results of dissimilar metal welding, by tungsten inert gas (TIG) and friction stir welding (FSW), of a CoCrFeMnNi HEA as well as a CoCrNi MEA with a conventional AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel are presented. The focus is on the microstructure formation due to the two welding processes. The results of TIG welding show a dendritic microstructure, whereas in FSW both materials are stirred but still coexist.
High energy X-ray synchrotron diffraction is used to investigate the elastic anisotropy of the nickel-based superalloy IN718 produced by laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB). This material is characterized by a columnar grain morphology with some crystallographic texture. The material is subjected to elastic loading to determine the diffraction elastic constants (DECs). Furthermore, the single-crystal elastic constants (SCEC) are refined from these experiments using different micromechanical models. The results show that each micromechanical model predicts a specific set of SCEC that well describes the elastic anisotropy of PBF-LB/IN718.
