2006, 26(4): 1-5.
Abstract:
Six methods of heat treatment were adopted to gain a fine grain structure of GH761 alloy,which was micro-alloyed by adding 0.023% phosphorus.When the temperature of the given primary treatment changed within 780~950℃,no obvious effect on the grain microstructure of the alloy was observed.Compared with that of commercial GH761 alloy treated by the standard treatment,the grains of the test alloy became much finer.The higher mechanical properties were obtained when the alloy was treated at 830 ℃ for 4h,AC,and 720℃ for 24h,AC.The tensile strength at room temperature and 650℃ was enhanced significantly,compared with that of standard treated GH761 alloy.The reduction of area was improved remarkably and elongation was also elevated a little.The stress rupture life of the alloy at 650℃ and 690 MPa was even longer than that of the commercial GH761 alloy at 650℃ and 637 MPa.

Abstract:
Low cycle fatigue experiments of DD3 single crystal superalloys along,and orientations under asymmetrical cyclic loading at 680℃ showed that crystal orientation affected low cycle fatigue life of DD3 single crystal superalloy significantly,life along orientation was the longest,life along orientation was the shortest.By modifying strain range with orientation function,the effect to fatigue life from orientation could be eliminated.A parameter k was introduced to express the effect that characteristic of cyclic loading affected fatigue life,and relationship between cyclic life and k indicated power law.According to main factors of affecting low cycle fatigue life for gas turbine blade of single crystal nickel-based superalloy,the formula of cyclic plasticity strain energy was put forward.The main factors of constructing cyclic plasticity strain energy should include total strain range,orientation function and characteristic of cyclic loading,and relations between those parameters and cyclic plasticity strain energy were power law curve.Low cycle fatigue life model for single crystal superalloy was deduced by using cyclic plasticity strain energy as a parameter,and the coefficients that appear in the model could be obtained from fitting fatigue tests data by multianalysis of linear regression,the all data fell into the factor of 2.6 scatter band.

2006, 26(4): 11-13.
Abstract:
The influences of C and Mg on microstructures and mechanical properties of a nickel base superalloy were studied.The results showed that when C content was low,the amounts of carbides in the alloy was little and distribution of carbides was not uniform,therefore the stressrupture life was reduced;With the increasing of C content,the distribution of carbides became more uniform,so the stress-rupture life was increased.No obvious effects were found on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the alloy when Mg content was low.The carbides in grain-boundary became bigger when Mg content was high,therefore,the impac value and tensile plasticity were reduced.The carbides were fined with granular in grain-boundary with appropriate content of Mg,impact value and tensile elongation were increased obviously.

MENG Bo, GUO Wan-lin, JIANG Yan
2006, 26(4): 18-23.
Abstract:
Surface topographies of different machined specimens from three typical metallic materials,stainless steel,Ti alloy and Al alloy,have been quantitatively characterized and analyzed to investigate the effect of surface topography on micro-stress concentrations based on the atomic force microscope measurement and finite element simulation.It is found that the surface topography is significantly influenced by the surface treatment method.However,the surface characteristic parameters have shown different variation rules for different metals.It is not only the surface roughness parameters but all characteristic parameters that determine the micro-stress concentrations caused by the surface conditions.Therefore,the integrated influences of surface characteristic parameters on micro-stress behaviors should be considered to estimate the effect of surface conditions on material fatigue performance effectively.

2006, 26(4): 24-28.
Abstract:
The microstructure and mechanical properties of stainless steel wires used for metal rubber were studied by means of optical microscopy,SEM,and X-ray diffraction.The wire diameters were 0.4,0.3,0.2,and 0.15mm,which were obtained by cold drawn of 36%,64%,84% and 91%,respectively.The deformation-induced martensite content in the wires increased with the deformation,starting from 81.2% at 36% deformation.The microstructures of metal rubber produced using these wires should mainly consist of martensite other than austenite,although the experimental material is a typical austenitic stainless steel.SEM observations showed that there were large quantities of voids parallel to the drawing direction,whose volume fractions increased with the deformation.Meanwhile,the tensile strengths of the wires were 1406~2244MPa, the elongations were 13.0%~8.9%.Therefore,we can conclude that the metal rubber produced by such wires should mainly consist of martensite and bear both micro-and macro-voids or porosities.

2006, 26(4): 39-42.
Abstract:
The elasto-plastic finite element method(FEM) was used to investigate the effect of the elastic modulus of adhesive on the stress and strain distribution in adhesively bonded aluminium single lap joint.The results from the numerical simulation showed that the value of peak stress became higher as the elastic modulus of adhesive increased and the peak stress transferred from the adhesive layer to the fillet.It was also shown that the larger the stiffness,the smaller the strain.For the aluminium single lap joint bonded with low elastic modulus adhesive,the load was mainly undertaken by the adhesive layer and the stress distributed more uniformly in it and a little load born by the fillet.In other words,the adhesive fillets didn’t play the pole of decrease the peak stress of adhesive layer evidently.For the aluminium single lap joint bonded with high elastic modulus adhesive,the function of adhesive fillets was very large so that a lot of load was undertaken by it but the stress and strain distributed in the middle layer of the adhesive was not uniformly as that in the one bonded with low elastic modulus adhesive.

2006, 26(4): 46-50.
Abstract:
Pressure for tube hydroforming of lightweight parts is usually determined by the radii of bulgy corners because the pressure for forming a small corner is much higher than other positions.Therefore,it is a key problem how to reduce the pressure for forming the corner with a small radius in tube hydroforming.Stress distribution and deformation mechanism of the corner on a hollow component during hydroforming is analyzed by classical mechanics and finite element method.For tube hydroforming of hollow component with polygonal sections,a rectangular cross-section is regarded as an example and researched.A method to reduce the pressure through preforming a petal-like cross-section is presented and its mechanism is analyzed.A calculated equation of key parameters of the preforming contour is given and an experiment is carried out to verify the method.The theory is meaningful for hydroforming of tubular parts with bulgy small-radius corners under lower pressure.

2006, 26(4): 92-95.
Abstract:
Low temperature superplastic tensile tests were carried out in electrodeposited SiC/Ni composite with an average grain size of 200 nm.The results showed that the maximum elongation of 571.2% was obtained at temperature of 430℃ and strain rate of 8.33×10-4s-1,where the strain rate sensitivity was 0.32.Observation of fracture surfaces and the deformed microstructure showed that the fracture mode of the material was intercrystalline fracture,and grain grew to different extent and elongated along the tensile axis.Different grain growth rates resulted in final structure made of large and small grains.Stress-strain curves indicated that stress increased to peak values then decreased.Large deformation realized in the quasi-steady flow stage after peak stress.The addition of SiC has a positive effect on the thermal stability of matrix structure,thus has a favorable effect on the superplasticity.The deformation mechanisms were grain boundary sliding and dislocation plasticity.

2006, 26(4): 105-109.
Abstract:

KONG Fan-rong, YOU Min, ZHENG Xiao-ling, YANG Chun-mei
2006, 26(4): 110-114.
Abstract:
The stress distribution of adhesively-bonded metal/metal single lap joints under cleavage loading is analyzed using three-dimensional finite element method(FEM).The influence of mechanical parameters of adhesive on the stress distribution of cleavage joints is discussed in detail.It is shown that adhesive has great influence on the stress distribution of the lap region.Increasing elastic modulus or Poisson’s ratio of adhesive also can cause the stress concentration at the left end of the adhesive layer.With the increment of elastic modulus or Poisson’s ratio of adhesive,peak values of stresses distribution increase and stresses concentration at left end of adhesive layer become obviously higher.However,observations having been made in particular on normal and shear stress components at the interfaces,which provide useful insight into the 3D nature of the problem,indicate that the influence of Poisson’s ratio of adhesive is less than that of elastic modulus on stress distribution of adhesive layer.

Abstract:
A quantitative relationship between void content and interlaminar shear strength(ILSS) has been determined for a polymeric matrix composite material.Differences in void content were achieved using different pressures during the autoclave curing cycle following standard processes.Areas of different porosity were identified after an ultrasonic double-through-transmission technique.Specimens were then selected and prepared for void content measurement and for three-point flexure test.The testing results were correlated to void volume fraction and ultrasonic absorption coefficient.The study indicates that,in the range from zero to 4%,each 1% increase in porosity will cause an approximate 8% in ILSS for this polymeric matrix composite material.
