Effect of Ni-Ti filler on brazed W-Cu/18-8 joints

10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2018.04.018

2018-04-11

W-Cu composite and 18-8 stainless steel were vacuum brazed with an improved Ni-based filler metal, with varying Ti content. The microstructure, element distribution, phase composition, and fracture mechanism of the brazed joints were investigated. The improve...

A Quantitative Description of Machining Effects to Mechanical Behavior of Sintered Powder Metals

10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2018.04.003

Sintered powder metals play increasingly important role in industry. The most remarkable mechanical characteristics of the sintered material is the high porosity, which characterizes deformations and failure of the material. It is confirmed additionally that ...

Flash butt Weldability of Inconel718 Alloy

10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2018.04.011

2018-04-10

Following fast upsetting deformation, the welding seam (WS) is formed at the surface of flash butt welded Inconel718 joint due to dynamic recrystallisation. The dissolution of γ″ and γ′ phases during temporary flashing is mainly responsible for the ~30% hardn...

Size effect affected mechanical properties and formability in micro plane strain deformation process of pure nickel

10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2018.04.001

2018-04-05

The plastic deformation behaviors are difficult to predict because of the size effects induced by the surface effect and inhomogeneous distribution of microstructure when the specimen dimension scales down to micro/meso scale. It is a non-trivial issue to stu...

Fabrication of Al/Mg/Al laminate by a porthole die co-extrusion process

10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2018.03.027

2018-03-30

A porthole die co-extrusion (PCE) process was proposed to fabricate the Al/Mg/Al laminate. The results showed that the laminate was successfully extruded without voids and cracks on the Al/Mg interface. The transition layer was formed and its thickness was in...

Micro-voids quantification for damage prediction in warm forging of biocompatible alloys using 3D X-ray CT and RVE approach
