Thermo Mechanical Processing for Fine Ferrite Grain Crust Wire Rod with High Fatigue Limit

Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue Crack Growth of RR1000

Non-isothermal conditions during flight cycles have long led to the requirement for thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) evaluation of aerospace materials. However, the increased temperatures within the gas turbine engine have meant that the requirements for TMF testing now extend to disc alloys along with blade materials. As such, fatigue crack growth rates are required to be evaluated under non-is...

The Effect of Controlled Thermo Mechanical Processing on the Properties of a High Strength Steel

In this paper, an ultra low carbon High Strength Low Alloy Grade Steel was subjected to a two-step forging process and this was followed by different post cooling methods. The highest strength was obtained at a faster cooling rate due to the highly dislocated acicular ferrite structure with the fine precipitation of microalloying carbides and carbonitrides. At a slow cooling rate, the strength ...

The Effect of Ferrite Grain Size on the Fatigue Behavior of Ferrite-martensite Dual-phase Steels

The effect of ferrite grain size on the fatigue and tensile properties of dual phase steels with a 0.25 volume fraction of martensite (Vm) under different heat treatments was investigated. The heat treatments were homogenized at 1200 oC along with several subsequent normalizations at 910 oC, resulting in different microstructures and mechanical properties. After heat treatment, the obtained ste...

Thermo-mechanical high-cycle fatigue analysis of exhaust manifold of turbocharged engine with two-way coupling FSI

NNowadays, car manufactures in order to increasing torque and power with consider to fuel consumption, have swept to production of turbocharged engines. With consider to exhaust gas-temperature rises in boosted engines, recognition of critical locations of exhaust manifold in the worse condition of engine (full load and maximum speed), to prevent fracture of exhaust manifold is very important. ...
