Welding abilities of UFG metals
2018
Ultrafine Grained (UFG) metals are characterized by an average grain size of <1 μm and mostly high angle grain boundaries. These materials exhibit exceptional improvements in strength, superplastic behaviour and in some cases enhanced biocompatibility. UFG metals barstock can be fabricated effectively by means of Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) methods. However, the obtained welded joints with similar properties to the base of UFG material are crucial for the production of finished engineering components. Conventional welding methods based on local melting of the joined edges cannot be used due to the UFG microstructure degradation caused by the heat occurrence in the heat affected zone…
Experimental investigation of the influence of adhesion on the frictional conditions in the cutting process
1999
Abstract This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the influence of adhesion on the tribological characteristics of the tool-chip interface. It was established that under orthogonal cutting conditions both the high interface temperature and severe plastic deformation result in relatively strong adhesion between steel and uncoated carbide. In particular, the molecular–mechanical theory of friction was applied to estimate the shear strength of the local adhesive junction, and to divided the rake face friction into two terms—an adhesion term (the interfacial coefficient of friction) and the deformation term. It should be pointed out that the data obtained provide a new approa…
The Role of Diffusion Accommodation and Phase Boundary Wetting in the Deformation Behaviour of Ultrafine Grained Sn-Pb Eutectic
2010
Mechanical properties, microstructure of the Sn–38wt. %Pb eutectic and the development of deformation - induced diffusion processes on interphase boundaries (IB) were investigated. Experiments were carried out both in deformed and annealed states of eutectic using micro- and nanoindentation, SEM, AFM and optical microscopy techniques. It was found that the deformation of the annealed alloy is localized at the Pb/Sn interphase boundaries and occurs by grain boundary sliding (GBS) accompanied by sintering micropore processes under the action of the capillary forces on the Pb/Sn IB. During severe plastic deformation of Sn-Pb eutectic phase transition in the Sn grain boundary occurs. This defor…
Severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes for metals
2008
Abstract Processes of severe plastic deformation (SPD) are defined as metal forming processes in which a very large plastic strain is imposed on a bulk process in order to make an ultra-fine grained metal. The objective of the SPD processes for creating ultra-fine grained metal is to produce lightweight parts by using high strength metal for the safety and reliability of micro-parts and for environmental harmony. In this keynote paper, the fabrication process of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), accumulative roll-bonding (ARB), high pressure torsion (HPT), and others are introduced, and the properties of metals processed by the SPD processes are shown. Moreover, the combined processes …
Effect of electron beam irradiation and plastic deformation on molar mass of medical grade ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene
2010
Badano wpływ sterylizacji metodą napromieniania strumieniem elektronów oraz deformacji plastycznej (zgniatania, rys. 1) polietylenu ultrawielkocząsteczkowego (UHMW-PE), stosowanego do wytwarzania panewek endoprotez stawu biodrowego, na masę molową polimeru. Stwierdzono, że sterylizacja wpływa na utleniającą destrukcję makrocząsteczek polimeru, której stopień zależy od użytej dawki promieniowania (zmniejszenie masy molowej masowo średniej). Procesowi temu towarzyszy sieciowanie makrocząsteczek (wzrost udziału frakcji nierozpuszczalnej). Z kolei sama deformacja plastyczna wydaje się nie mieć wyraźnego wpływu na proces degradacji. Tymczasem łączne zastosowanie obydwu czynników zewnętrznych pro…
Connections Between Topology and Macroscopic Mechanical Properties of Three-Dimensional Open-Pore Materials
2018
This work addresses a number of fundamental questions regarding the topological description of materials characterized by a highly porous three-dimensional structure with bending as the major deformation mechanism. Highly efficient finite-element beam models were used for generating data on the mechanical behavior of structures with different topologies, ranging from highly coordinated bcc to Gibson–Ashby structures. Random cutting enabled a continuous modification of average coordination numbers ranging from the maximum connectivity to the percolation-cluster transition of the 3D network. The computed macroscopic mechanical properties–Young's modulus, yield strength, and Poisson's ratio–co…
Effects of particle clustering on the plastic deformation and damage initiation of particulate reinforced composite utilizing X-ray CT data and finit…
2018
In this paper, a new simulation technique which can include microstructural inhomogeneity of particulate reinforced composites is proposed to accurately study deformation pattern and damage mechanism in these composites. Three dimensional microstructures constructed from XCT images incorporated into finite element modeling codes with minimal approximation to capture the effects of cluster size, local volume fraction of particles in the cluster and the distance between clusters as relevant statistical quantities describing the microstructural inhomogeneity of particulate reinforced composites. A quantitative parameter as degree of clustering is defined to consider particle clustering effect.…
Studies on electron-beam irradiation and plastic deformation of medical-grade ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene
2011
Abstract Separated and combined electron-beam irradiation and plastic deformation effects on the structures of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) were studied. It was found that the concentration of carbonyl (ketones, esters and peresters), hydroxyl and vinyl groups increases with the growing dose of adsorbed electrons. It also tends to exhibit a slight increase in the melting point and crystallinity of the samples. A mechanical stress in the polymer was found to accelerate radiation-induced degradation. It was concluded that each of the factors studied (i.e. electron beam sterilization and plastic deformation) had a different impact on the polymer structure. The change in th…
Fracture and fatigue of titanium narrow dental implants: New trends in order to improve the mechanical response
2019
Sixty-four fractured commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) narrow dental implants (NDIs) with similar macrogeometry and connection designs were studied after different implantation times in humans in order to determine their reliability and to evaluate the causes of the fracture. These NDIs were compared with other similar implants, made with alloyed titanium with 15% Zr and with 12% strained titanium. Original implants were tested under static and fatigue conditions, simulating the tri-axial loads in the mouth by means of a Bionix hydraulic test machine. Fractography was studied using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FSEM). The results showed that cp-Ti NDI exhibits low strength f…
