Silicon carbide particulates incorporated into microalloyed steel surface using TIG: microstructure and properties

EFFECTS OF MO ADDITION ON THE MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CAST MICROALLOYED STEEL

In industry, the cost of production is an important factor and it is preferred to use conventional and low cost procedures for producing the parts. Heat treatment cycles and alloying additions are the key factors affecting the microstructure and mechanical properties of the cast steels. In this study an attempt was made to evaluate the influence of minor Mo addition on the microstructure and me...

Microstructure and Fracture Toughness of Hot-Pressed Silicon Carbide Reinforced with Silicon Carbide Whisker

The effects of p-Sic whisker addition on the microstructural evolution and fracture toughness (K,c) of hot-pressed SIC were investigated. Most of the whiskers added disappeared during the densification process by transformation into the a-phase. The remaining whiskers acted as nuclei for grain growth, resulting in the formation of large tabular grains around the whiskers. The tabular grains aro...

Shock-wave strength properties of boron carbide and silicon carbide

Microstructure and Mechanical properties of Multipass Friction Stir Processed Aluminum Silicon Carbide Metal Matrix

Abstrct :In this study, SiC particles were incorporated by using Friction Stir Processing (FSP) into the 6351 aluminium alloy to form particulate composite materials. Sampels were subjected to constant rotational and traverse speeds of the FSP tool with and without SiC reinforcements. Microstructural observations were carried out by employing optical microscopy of the modifiedsurfaces. Mechanic...

Effect of Finish Rolling Temperature on the Microstructure and Tensile Properties of Nb–Ti Microalloyed X90 Pipeline Steel

The relationship between microstructure and tensile properties of an Nb–Ti microalloyed X90 pipeline steel was studied as a function of finish rolling temperature using a Gleeble 3500 simulator, an optical and scanning electron microscope, electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD), a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that the microstructure is p...
