Delamination Toughening of Ultrafine Grain Structure Steels Processed through Tempforming at Elevated Temperatures

Cu cluster shell structure at elevated temperatures.

THE DEFORMATION BEHAVIOR OF AZ31 MAGNESIUM ALLOY AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES

AZ31 magnesium alloy is considered as a promising alloy in various applications and industries. Furthermore, to design a proper hot working process (rolling, forging and extrusion), the assessment of hot working behaviour of the alloy is necessary. Accordingly, the hot deformation behaviour of AZ31 alloy was studied through hot compression testing method This was carried out in a wide range of ...

Structure and properties of TM processed HSLA steels

This paper deals with the influence of steel composition (with respect to the microalloying elements) and therrnomechanical treatment on structure and mechanical behaviour of HSLA (High Strength Low Alloy) steels. Four different microalloyed steels have been TM rolled under variing conditions. The austenite structure prior to transformation could be revealed by means of a special etching techni...

Shape effect of ultrafine-grained structure on static fracture toughness in low-alloy steel.

A 0.4C-2Si-1Cr-1Mo steel with an ultrafine elongated grain (UFEG) structure and an ultrafine equiaxed grain (UFG) structure was fabricated by multipass caliber rolling at 773 K and subsequent annealing at 973 K. A static three-point bending test was conducted at ambient temperature and at 77 K. The strength-toughness balance of the developed steels was markedly better than that of conventionall...

Feasibility analysis of inter-laminar toughening for improving delamination resistance

This letter discusses the effect of bonding energy on the delamination resistance of laminate composites using a ductile interleaf. The mechanism and methods for interleaf toughening are reviewed and the improvement in delamination resistance discussed. The bonding energy between the ductile interleaf polymer and the fibers as well as between the ductile interleaf polymer and the brittle matrix...
