The Influence of External Stresses on the Transformation Behaviour in a Fe-Mn-Si Alloy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of external stresses on the transformation behaviour has been studied for a polycrystalline Fe-3 IMn-SSi alloy exhibiting the y-+& martensitic transformation. Samples have been loaded at temperatures above the M, temperature, cooled with a constant external load to a temperature below the M, temperature and subsequently heated without load to a temperature above the A, temperature of the alloy. Stress, strain and temperature have been continuously measured and transformation temperatures and strains have been determined from the change in strain during the transformation. It has been found that the M, temperature during cooling with load is not influenced by 0.3-2 % plastic pre-deformation of the austenite whereas there is a substantial increase in the transformation strain, i.e. variants with a favourable orientation are enhanced by pre-strain of austenite.

The effect of cyclic martensitic transformations on diffusion of cobalt atoms in Fe-18wt.%Mn-2wt.%Si alloy
Diffusion characteristics of cobalt atoms were investigated using radioactive isotope method in phase-hardened Fe-18wt.%Mn-2wt.%Si alloy. The observed significant increase of diffusion coefficient of cobalt atoms under the cyclic γ-ε-γ martensitic transformations was due to the action of two independent mechanisms - an athermal one and a thermally activated one. The first one arose from the dir...

In this paper, the straight flute end-milling cutter used for machining of Al-Si-Mg-Fe alloy work pieces was investigated. The machining processes could induce residual stresses that enhance greatly the performance of the machined component. Machining residual stresses correlate very closely with the cutting parameters. In the experiments, the residual stress on the surface of workpiece was mea...

Formation of crystalline defects due to cyclic martensitic transformations (CMT) in the iron-manganese Fe-18 wt.% Mn-2 wt.% Si alloy was investigated using X-ray diffractometry. Conditions for accumulation of fragment sub-boundaries with low-angle misorientations and chaotic stacking faults in crystal lattice of austenite and ε-martensite were analyzed.
