Synergistic strengthening effect of ultrafine-grained metals reinforced with carbon nanotubes
In this study, medium Mn transformation-induced plasticity steel with the composition Fe-0.08 pct C-6.15 pct Mn-1.5 pct Si-2.0 pct Al-0.08 pct V was investigated. After intercritical annealing at 1013 K (740 A degrees C), the steel contained coarse-grained ferrite and two ultrafine-grained (UFG) phases: ferrite and retained austenite. The material ...

Shock consolidation of ultrafine copper powders at room temperature for bulk nano/ultrafine structured materials is achieved in a gas gun system. The stress states in the powders during the shock consolidation process are analyzed using the finite element method associated with the dynamic densification model (P-alpha model). The mechanical propert...

Fracture properties of Ti-based amorphous alloys containing ductile beta dendrites were explained by directly observing microfracture processes. Three Ti-based amorphous alloys were fabricated by adding Ti, Zr, V, Ni, Al, and Be into a Ti-6Al-4V alloy by a vacuum arc melting method. The effective sizes of dendrites varied from 63 to 104 mu m, while...

In order to improve mechanical properties of Ti-based amorphous matrix composites basically composed of ductile beta-Ti dendrites and brittle amorphous matrix by overcoming their inherent brittle nature, their fracture mechanisms should be verified in relation with microstructure, stress intensity factor level, and crack growth rate. In this study,...
