ZHANG Yajun, ZHANG Xinyao, ZHANG Yunhao
2021, 36(4): 1-8.
Abstract:
Fatigue crack propagation rate of metallic materials is an important index of mechanical property, which is employed for damage tolerance design and fatigue life assessment in engineering application. Paris model is the most popular expression for fatigue crack propagation rate, and the relation of fatigue crack propagation rate and stress intensity factor range at the crack front is believed to meet a power-function rule in the model. The model involves in two material constants of C and m. In this paper, based on some test data published in some literatures, the relationships between material constants of C and m in Paris model for fatigue crack propagation rate of metallic materials of alloy steels, copper alloy, titanium alloy and aluminum alloy were analyzed. The results indicated that the constants of C and m of different types of metallic materials satisfied good linear relationship, namely m=alnC+b, which was not affected by specimen sampling orientation, weld position, and test environment. Stress ratios had great influence on the linear relationship, especially when the stress ratio value was negative. The slopes of the linear models for different metallic materials were not equivalent and the influencing factors should be further researched systematically. The analyzing results would provide reference for fatigue design and application in engineering.

2021, 36(4): 9-13.
Abstract:
The creep properties and microstructures of Ti-Al-Zr-Mo-Nb-Sn-Si cast titanium alloy at 600~750 ℃ were studied. The results showed that the creep residual elongations were less than 3% at 750 ℃/180 MPa/0.5 h and less than 0.4% at 600 ℃/400 MPa/0.5 h. The time before creep ruptures were more than 2 h and more than 14 h, respectively. The cast titanium aiioy had good creep resistance. There were fine particles in the high temperature creep fracture surface. After creep, the microstructure changed little in the plastic deformation zone, showing widmannstatten structure, and some grain boundaries disappeared and α lamellae became wider. After high temperature creep, dislocations increased obviously and entangled with precipitates.

2021, 36(4): 14-22.
Abstract:
The influence of microtexture on the stress corrosion cracking susceptibility and crack propagation path of a near alpha titanium alloy Ti-6 Al-3 Nb-2 Zr-1 Mo were investigated by the observation of the fracture surfaces and the crack propagating paths using EBSD method. The results showed that the morphologies of the microtexture zones were irregular thin lamellae which were nearly parallel to the rolling plane, with their longitudinal direction extending along the rolling direction, and that the grain orientation in the microtexture zones was their c-axis almost parallel to the transverse direction of the bulk plate. When the loading direction was almost parallel to the longitudinal directions of the microtexture zones, prismatic slip was easily activated in the grains of these zones, so as to decrease the stress concentration at crack tip as well as the stress corrosion cracking susceptibility. When the loading direction was almost perpendicular to the longitudinal directions of microtexture zones, prismatic slip and basal slip were hard to activate and that would lead to localized stress concentration and the formation of micro-cracks, raising the stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of the plate.

LI Li, LIU Guoyuan, WANG Pengyun, LI Yaozong, CUI Yongjie, CHU Shaoqi, FENG Yan
2021, 36(4): 23-27.
Abstract:
Mechanical properties, fracture morphology and metallographic structure of 50 mm thick 5383 aluminum-magnesium alloy welded joints with different preheating temperatures were studied. The results showed that although it could be achieved good weld forming and excellent internal quality with lower preheating temperature, the mechanical properties were relatively lower. Analysis results showed that low preheating temperature led to low temperature of welding pool, so lots of FeMn rich phases in aluminum alloy could not melt completely. The remaining FeMn rich phase segregated, which caused the deterioration of local plasticity and strength of welded joints.

ZHAN Yao, ZHANG Yi, WANG Zhihua, GAO Zhenxuan
2021, 36(4): 28-33.
Abstract:
The annealing process of copper nickel alloy seamless pipe was studied. Six typical copper nickel alloy seamless tubes were selected and produced by drawing. The annealing test was carried out according to the proposed annealing test scheme. After annealing, samples were taken for performance test. By testing tensile strength, yield strength and elongation, as well as Bush hardness and Rockwell hardness, and carrying out metallographic test, that whether the microstructure change from processed state to single-phase recrystallized α structure was observed. When the annealing temperature was less than or equal to 700 ℃, it was impossible to obtain single-phase α structure with complete recrystallization. When the annealing temperature was higher than 730 ℃, the grains would grow continuously. Annealing holding time less than or equal to 30 minutes could not achieve all recrystallization, and more than 40 minutes could make the grain continue to grow. The optimal annealing process for seamless copper nickel alloy pipe was holding at(720±10) ℃ for 40 minutes.
Effect of Molecular Structure of Solution Polymerized Styrene Butadiene Rubber on Acoustic Properties
ZHANG Cong, WANG Wenfei
2021, 36(4): 34-38.
Abstract:
Styrene butadiene rubber(SBR) is one of the commonly used underwater sound absorption rubber. Here were studied the effects of styrene content and polarizability of SSBR molecular structure on its sound absorption properties. The results of sound absorption test showed that the sound-absorbing performance changed little with the increase of test pressure. The sound absorption performance of SSBR with lower styrene content was poor under various test pressures. With the increase of styrene content in the chain, the sound absorption performance was obviously improved. Polarization modification of SSBR could effectively improve its sound absorption under pressure. When the mass fraction of polarizing group reached 10%, the sound absorption performance was obviously improved.

TENG Kui, LUO Xianfu, LI Hongping, CHA Xiaoqin
2021, 36(4): 44-50.
Abstract:
The stress corrosion cracking(SCC) performance of 7055 aluminum alloy were investigated by using tensile testing, C-ring stress corrosion experiment, metallographic observation, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. The results show that longitudinal test specimen of 7055 aluminum alloy had higher tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and reduction of area than those of the transverse specimen. The cracking time of longitudinal C-ring specimens was longer than that of transverse specimens under intermediate immersion and constant temperature and humidity environment. The deformation grains were mainly elongated in the longitudinal section. The crack of the transverse sample grew along the longitudinal direction. Once the crack was formed, it grew rapidly along the elongated grain boundary, the crack was straight and the cracking time short. The grains of transverse section were equiaxial, and the crack of longitudinal sample grew along the transverse direction. In the process of crack growth, deflection along the grain boundary occurred, and the cracking time was long. The stress corrosion mechanism of 7055 alloy consisted of hydrogen embrittlement and electrochemical theory.
Introduction of Humidity Resistance Test Standards of Coatings
WANG Jiani, LIU Hongyu, HAN Yue, ZHEN Guanghao, SHI Meihui
2021, 36(4): 51-56.
Abstract:
Humidity resistance test methods in GB standards, ISO standards and ASTM standards were introduced, and the test methods were summarized. Heat and humidity, condensation(in-cabinet exposure) and water fog were all in test atmosphere of high temperature and humidity, whose impetus for condensation was relatively smaller. While the temperature difference was large with the condensation(single-sided exposure), and the impetus for coating damage was large, so with the same test temperature, condensation was easier to happen. The condensation(single-sided exposure) was a preferred option when the humidity resistance result of coating, especially resistance performance to condensation, was urgently needed.
