The directionally solidified MnCuNiFe alloy was prepared under high magnetic field. microstructure, composition distribution, phase transformation behavior and damping capacity of the were studied by means metallographic microscope, scanning electron transmission X-ray diffraction, differential calorimetry, thermal expansion analysis dynamic mechanical analysis. It is revealed that field has de...

The aim of the research is the development and testing of new methods to classify the quality of metallographic samples of steels with high added value, for example, grades X70 according API. In this paper, we address the development of methods to classify the quality of slab samples images with the main emphasis on the quality of the image center called as a segregation area. For this reason, ...

This paper deals with the investigation of the microstructure and hardness of steel samples cladded with satellite 6-WC composites by using gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. For this purpose, steel samples were coated with unreinforced and reinforced stellite (by 20, 30 and 40 wt.% WC). The cladded samples were evaluated by metallographic studies, microhardness measurement and X-ray diff...

Abstract The influences of processing parameters and tool feature on the microstructure AA1100 AA3003 aluminium alloys were investigated using bobbin friction stir welding (BFSW). research includes flow visualization microstructural evolution weld texture metallographic measurement method. Results indicated that operational (e.g. feed rate, rotating speed) geometry can directly affect patterns ...

In this research the effect of volume and morphology of eutectic carbides on tribological behaviour of Ni-Hard 4 cast irons have been investigated. Therefore, as a result of the fact that the carbon content effects the carbides morphology of Ni-hard cast irons, the chemical compositions of five different specimens were kept constant with the exception of the carbon content, which was varied fro...

Purpose: The article presents the outline of methods and range of microstructural assessment of ceramic coatings, using the example of thermal barrier coatings. The major structural parameters describing the quality of the barrier layers have been characterised as well as the problems related to the correct metallographic specimen preparation and the methodology of their assessment. Design/meth...

Stress relieving is a common practice among manufacturing codes for reducing the magnitude of residual stresses in welded, quenched, and tempered steel structures and pressure vessels. The present work investigates the effect of stress relieving at 480, 560, 620, and 680°C on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 20 mm ASTM A517 Gr. B steel plate weldments produced by shielded metal a...
