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...

Thermomechanical Properties of TiNi Shape Memory Alloy

The thermomechanical properties of shape memory effect and superelasticity due to the martensitic transformation and the R-phase transformation of TiNi shape memory alloy were investigated experimentally. The transformation line, recovery stress and fatigue property due to both transformations were discussed for cyclic deformation. The thermomechanical properties due to the R-phase transformati...

Process Development & Microstructure & Mechanical Property Evaluation of a Dual Microstructure Heat Treated Advanced Nickel Disc Alloy

This paper summarises Rolls-Royce’s efforts in developing a production capable and industrially robust process for the production of dual-microstructure components. This has been possible through the use of process modeling, full-scale validation trials, detailed microstructural assessment through a variety of destructive and non-destructive methods and mechanical property evaluation. This pape...
