Thermomechanical Processing of Steels

AN INVESTIGATION TO BAINITE FORMATION MORPHOLOGIES IN NI-CR BEARING LOW CARBON STEELS THROUGH THERMOMECHANICAL PROCESSING

The presence of bainite in the microstructure of steels to obtain a proper combination of strength and toughness has always been desired. The previous works however have shown that the presence of preferred bainite morphologies in the microstructure of any steel would not be readily accessible. In addition, the appearance of different bainite morphologies in the microstructure of any steel is d...

Effect of Thermomechanical Processing on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of a Duplex Stainless Steel

Duplex stainless steels (DSSS) have a microstructure composed of ferrite and austenite phases that gives them a very good combination of mechanical and corrosion properties. These steels are desirable for many applications in the chemical and petrochemical industries. In the present study, a type of stainless steel was cast, solution annealed at 1200°C for 60 min and then quenched in water. Ini...

TRANSFORMATION BEHAVIOR OF NiTi SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS TREATED BY THERMOMECHANICAL PROCESSING USING DSC

Abstract: In the present study the effect of thermomechanical treatment (cold work and annealing) on the transformation behavior of NiTi shape memory alloys was studied. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to determine transformation temperature and its relation to precipitates and defects. Three alloys including Ti-50.3at.% Ni, Ti-50.5at.% Ni (reclamated orthodontic wires) and 50.6at...

Thermomechanical Analysis of a

Thermomechanical analysis of the space shuttle tile thermal protection system (TPS) subjected to damage is conducted using the finite element method. The thermal and structural response of the damaged configurations are compared with the undamaged configuration to determine the relative effects of damage on the thermal protection capability and the induced thermal stresses in the TPS. The TPS i...
