Books vii MDPI Books MDPI Preface to "Alloy Steels" The subject of alloy steels covers a broad range of steels and end use markets. Alloy steels are used in the automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and the energy sectors. When this Special Issue was started, the goal was to provide readers with a collection of papers from around the world that reflect the field. Within this book are twenty-three papers that cover the microstructure, manufacturing, corrosion, and application of alloy steels. These papers cover a broad range of alloys and research focuses that provide the cutting-edge answers needed for today’s markets. The review by Dr. Mohammed provides an excellent review about welding austenitic and duplex stainless steels. As editor, my job is much simpler than those of the authors or reviewers. They are the ones who have struggled in the lab conducting experiments and analyzing the data. Their considerable effort in providing high-quality papers should never be underestimated or unappreciated. Reviewers also deserve appreciation for the time in reading the submitted papers and providing valuable feedback to improve them. The countless staff at MDPI also contributed to this by helping everyone involved with the

  • Corrosion Hardness Effect of Steel Screws by Nanoindentation
    CORROSION HARDNESS EFFECT OF STEEL SCREWS BY NANOINDENTATION Prepared by Duanjie Li, PhD 6 Morgan, Ste156, Irvine CA 92618 · P: 949.461.9292 · F: 949.461.9232 · nanovea.com Today's standard for tomorrow's materials. © 2017 NANOVEA INTRODUCTION As the most common failure mechanism in industry, corrosion of materials costs hundreds of billions of dollars annually to the U.S. economyi. It is critical to implement optimal corrosion control practices to improve lifecycle and asset management. Accelerated corrosion tests can substantially increase the measurement speed compared to those carried out in natural weathering. Laboratory corrosion tests that closely simulate the atmospheric effects on the corrosion mechanism of materials significantly facilitate the quality control and R&D of new materials and protective coatings for applications in aggressive environments. IMPORTANCE OF NANOINDENTATION TEST ON CORRODED METALS The mechanical properties of materials deteriorate during the corrosion process. For example, lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH) and goethite (α-FeOOH) form in the atmospheric corrosion of carbon steel. Their loose and porous nature results in absorption of moisture and in turn further acceleration of the corrosion process ii . Akaganeite (β-FeOOH), another form of iron oxyhydroxide, is generated on the steel surface in chloride containing environments iii . Nanoindentation can control the indentation depth in the range of nanometers and microns, making it possible to quantitatively measure the hardness and Young’s modulus of the corrosion products formed on the metal surface. It provides physicochemical insight in corrosion mechanisms involved so as to select the best candidate material for the target applications. MEASUREMENT OBJECTIVE In this application, we showcased that the Nanovea Mechanical Tester in Nanoindentation mode measures the effect of rust in the corrosive media on the evolution of the mechanical properties of two types of steel screws.

These standard metals are selected on the basis of serving the significant metal- lurgical and engineering needs of fabricators and users of metal products. UNIFIED NUMBERING SYSTEM: UNS is a system of designations established in accordance with ASTM E 527 and SAE J1086, Recommended Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys. Its purpose is to provide a means of correlat- ing systems in use by such organizations as American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM), and Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), as well as individual users and producers. UNS designa- tion assignments are processed by the SAE, the ASTM, or other relevant trade associations. Each of these assignors has the responsibility for administering a specific UNS series of designations. Each considers requests for the assignment of new UNS designations, and informs the applicants of the action taken. UNS designation assignors report immediately to the office of the Unified Numbering System for Metals and Alloys the details of each new assignment for inclusion into the system.

  • Development of Low-Cost Casting Titanium Alloys: an Integrated Computational
    Development of Low-cost Casting Titanium Alloys: An Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) Guided Study Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Zhi Liang Graduate Program in Materials Science and Engineering The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Professor Alan A. Luo, Advisor Professor Glenn Daehn Professor Ji-cheng Zhao Copyrighted by Zhi Liang 2018 Abstract Titanium alloys have proved to be important lightweight structural materials since 1960’s, due to their excellent intermediate temperature mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and weldability. Their good property-to-weight ratios make them ideal for many high-end and weight-sensitive applications. However, the application of titanium alloys is still limited due to the high costs in raw materials and manufacturing, indicating the importance of developing new cost-effective titanium alloys. Compared with other lightweight structural alloys (e.g. aluminum, magnesium), the raw material cost for titanium alloys is generally considered as expensive due to its expensive alloying elements such as vanadium, molybdenum, and tin. The cost issue is further amplified by the difficulties in using conventional machining methods for component-shaping due to the low thermal conductivity. Therefore, cost-effective titanium alloys should address either aspect. This work focuses on the goal of developing new cost-effective Ti-Al-Fe- Mn titanium alloys for the casting process via Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) approach by using cheaper alloying elements and net-shape manufacture process. Calculation of Phase Diagram (CALPHAD) work on the Ti-Al-Mn ternary system was conducted to establish the reliable thermodynamic database to guide the alloy design.

  • Effect of Compound Jacketing Rolling on Microstructure and Mechanical
    EFFECT OF COMPOUND JACKETING ROLLING ON MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SUPERALLOY GH4720Li Jinglong Qu 1, Minqing Wang 1, Jianxin Dong 2, Guilin Wu 3, Ji Zhang 1 1 Central Iron and Steel Research Institute, Superalloy Department, No.76, Xueyuan Nanlu, Beijing, 100081, China 2 University of Science and Technology Beijing, Department of Materials Science and Technology, No.30, Xueyuan Lu, Beijing, 100083,China 3 Northeast Special Steel Group Co., Ltd., Liaoning Fushun, 113001, China Keywords: GH4720Li Alloy, Compound Jacketed Rolling, Microstructure, γ′ phase Abstract In this paper, a compound jacketed rolling technique for superalloy GH4720Li is experimentally investigated. The results show that microstructure of GH4720Li is susceptible to hot working parameters. When rolling temperature is about 1130ºC, a fine-grained microstructure, excellent mechanical properties and high yield strength can be obtained. In addition, the rolling temperature can be controlled effectively, friction force between ingot and roller can be reduced, surface cracking induced by rolling can be avoided, and uniform microstructure can be obtained using compound jacketing. When accumulative strain of rolling is greater than 65%, the coarse columnar dendritic microstructure can be refined completely and grain size of ASTM 8 obtained. After heat treatment, GH4720Li bars exhibit excellent mechanical properties. Introduction GH4720Li is a high strength and difficult-to-deform superalloy with excellent mechanical, corrosion resistant and oxidation resistant properties. It is now widely used in aircraft and land-based turbine discs. In practice, the temperature required for a long-term use of GH4720Li is below 700 °C. The weight percent of Al+Ti is as high as 7.5%, and the amount of γ′ strengthening phase is as high as 40%.

Introduction Modern industry, driven by the recent environmental policies, faces an urgent need for the production of lighter and more environmentally friendly components. High-strength low-alloy steels are key materials in this challenging scenario because they provide a balanced combination of properties, such as strength, toughness, formability, weldability, and corrosion resistance. These features make them ideal for a myriad of engineering applications which experience complex loading conditions and aggressive media, such as aeronautical and automotive components, railway parts, offshore structures, oil and gas pipelines, power transmission towers, construction machinery, among others. The goal of this Special Issue is to foster the dissemination of the latest research devoted to high- strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels from different perspectives. 2. Contributions The understanding of the microstructure features and their dependence on the me- chanical behaviour is of essential importance for the development of safe and durable components as well as to extend the scope of application of the high-strength low-alloy steels. This may justify the intense research conducted on the triangular relationship be- tween the microstructure, the processing techniques, and the final mechanical properties. Citation: Branco, R.; Berto, F. Solis-Bravo et al. [1] addressed the relationship between the precipitate morphology and High-Strength Low-Alloy Steels.
