Abstract:

Herein, Compact-Testing (CT ) and Charpy V-Notch (CVN) testing have been done on four Friction-Stir-Processed (FSPed) samples: BM (Base-Metal), FS (FSPed-Sample), FN5 (FSP Nano-ZrO2-coated/560 rpm rotational speed) and FN9 (FSP Nano-ZrO2-coated/900 rpm), to investigate the KIC and the dominant parameters on it for St 37 steel. Experiments are also surveyed and validated by ABAQUS. Results showed the greatest KIC value for BM (CT: 110.40 /CVN: 98.72 MPa√m) and the least for FN9 (CT: 72.20/CVN: 60.08 MPa√m). FSP caused brittle behavior but not as much as FSP Nano-coating. The calculation of CT samples was done in Gerson theory by using of LEFM formulas. Investigations showed more reliability for CVN obtained results. The KIC and ductile fracture decreased after FSP for both CVN and CT.

SYNTHESIS AND CORROSION PROTECTION BEHAVIOR OF EPOXYTiO2-MICACEOUS IRON OXIDE NANO - COMPOSITE COATING ON St-37

The micro layers micaceous iron oxide and nano-TiO 2 were incorporated into the epoxy resin by mechanical mixing and sonication process. Optical micrographs showed that the number and diameter size of nanoparticle agglomerates were decreased by sonication. The structure and composition of the nanocomposite was determined using transmission electron microscopy which showed the presence of disper...

Friction stir welding and processing

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a relatively new solid-state joining process. This joining technique is energy efficient, environment friendly, and versatile. In particular, it can be used to join high-strength aerospace aluminum alloys and other metallic alloys that are hard to weld by conventional fusion welding. FSW is considered to be the most significant development in metal joining in a de...

Effect of Grinding Parameters on the Fracture Toughness of WC–10Co–4Cr Coating Deposited by HVOF

Nowadays, application of cermet coatings deposited by High-Velocity Oxygen-Fuel (HVOF) has received considerable attention in a variety of industries. Carbide coatings have high surface roughness, so it is essential to grind the coated surface. The present investigation studied the effect of simultaneous changes in the grinding parameters including the depth of cut, feed rate and cutting sp...
