Metallic nanowires usually exhibit ultrahigh strength but low tensile ductility owing to their limited strain hardening capability. Here we study the unique strain hardening behavior of the five-fold twinned Ag nanowires by nanomechanical testing and atomistic modeling. In situ tensile tests within a scanning electron microscope revealed strong strain hardening behavior of the five-fold twinned...

Duplex hardening is a process in which conventional heat-treatments such as secondary or case hardening are followed up by surface nitriding to achieve exceptional properties, particularly in the context of aeroengine bearings. Hardness values in excess of 1 000 HV can in principle be achieved, and although the hardness decreases as a function of depth below the surface, some level of enhanceme...

1967 Price 8s 6d net .-summary The time hardening, life fraction and strain hardening hypotheses variously proposed to describe tiniaxisl creep deformation are considered and compared with experimental evidence. It is concluded that the strain hardening hypothesis is the most nearly correct, the experimental strains usually being within 50% of those predicted. Further, rheological and modified ...

One of the major issues required to be dealt with the casebased reasoning (CBR) is the challenge to meet to maintain and control the correctness and accuracy of the results expected to be produced against the proposed algorithm and methodology for the candidate CBR system. This paper introduces a computational model with the assistance of the concept of Regression fitting within the mathematica...

The present study aims to investigate the residual stresses and surface hardening in ground components caused by the coupled effect of thermo-plasticity and phase transformation. A feasible numerical method was developed to accommodate appropriately the phase transformation in a workpiece experiencing critical temperature variation during grinding. The change of material properties was modelled...

Kingpin parts are the critical product for heavy vehicles and generally made of 20MnCr5 steel. A kingpin is a metal cylindrical pin that located underneath front end trailer. The mechanism on trailer locks it to road tractor. in this study have undergone case hardening heat treatment after rough machining operation. During operation assembly line, cracks been shown surface. In study, examined w...

The aim of the present work is to investigate the effects of prestrain and subsequent annealing on tensile properties of commercial pure titanium (CP-Ti). According to tensile test results, yield strength and ultimate tensile strength increase with the increase of prestrain. Elongation and uniform strain decrease linearly with prestrain. In the case of prestrain that is higher than 3.5%, the ma...
