    COMPLEX & INCREMENTAL STRESS CREEP OF A HIGH STRENGTH ALUMINIUM ALLOY AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES (ALLOY: HIDUMINIUM RR58 SPECIFICATION DTD 731) by SURINDAR BAHADUR MATHUR Thesis presented in the Department of Mechanical Engineering for the Award of the Doctor of Philosphy in Mechanical Engineering of the University of London. Mechanical Engineering Department Imperial College of Science and Technology mAec.19 70 (University of London) London. ABSTRACT A theory for creep rates under complex and incremental stresses is deduced from experimental data concerning complex creep at elevated temperatures for the test material HIDUMINIUM RR 58 - Specification DID 731. The most important results are for tubular specimens tested at 150°C and 250°C under incremental loads. The analysis of results relates to steady state creep only. Modified relationships in stress equivalence and strain equivalence are proposed to account for thermal softening, polygonization, recrystallization and the resulting exaggerated flow in the direction of the applied shear. (The original equations are based on the hypothesis of Von Mises). A further relationship is suggested between the immediate total energy of distortion and the subsequent creep work rate. Results of the static tests and the results of the tests for creep behaviour under complex loading are presented and compared with the results of static torsion and simple incremental torsion creep tests on the basis of the proposed equations. An appendix describes the complex creep testing machine, furnace, extensometers

Alloy 6060 is typical of a family of Al-Mg-Si extrusion alloys, which are considered weldable only when using an appropriate filler alloy such as 4043 (Al-5Si). The effect of 4043 filler dilution (i.e. weld metal silicon content) on cracking sensitivity and solidification path of Alloy 6060 welds are investigated.

Tel: (+91) 9422247576: E-mail: [email protected] Received: 07 January 2014, Revised: 23 June 2014 and Accepted: 28 June 2014 ABSTRACT Aluminium fly ash metal matrix composites (MMCs) find important applications in aerospace and automobiles where specific stiffness is important. Low cost fly ash and silicon carbide reinforcement are widely used in aluminium metal and matrix composite due to its low density, high young modulus and strength apart from good mechanical and chemical compatibility & thermal stability. However the MMCs often suffer from low ductility, toughness and fatigue crack growth resistance relative to the matrix alloy. Linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) has been used to characterize the plane strain fracture toughness using various specimen geometries and notches but very few studies using EPFM are reported in literature. In the present paper the influences of weight fraction of particulate reinforcement on tensile, fracture toughness have been evaluated. The tensile strength of aluminium fly ash composites increases with the addition of fly ash reinforcement. However the fracture toughness (KIC) of the aluminium fly ash composite decreases that of base alloy. The fracture toughness KQ of AA6061 ALFA composites varied between 13-14 MPa as compared to 18 MPa for the re-melted base alloy.

  • Weldability of Aluminum-Steel Joints Using Continuous Drive Friction Welding Process, Without the Presence of Intermetallic Compounds
    Article Weldability of Aluminum-Steel Joints Using Continuous Drive Friction Welding Process, Without the Presence of Intermetallic Compounds Oscar D. Hincapié1, Jhonathan A. Salazar1, José J. Restrepo1, Jonathan A. Graciano-Uribe2,a, and Edwar A. Torres1,b,* 1 Department of Mechanical Engineering, Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia 2 Department of Mechatronics Engineering, Research Group - MATyER, Instituto Tecnológico Metropolitano, Medellín, Calle 73 No. 76-354, Medellín, Colombia E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] (Corresponding author) Abstract. Weldability of aluminum-steel joints has been studied mainly to avoid the formation of IMC. Nowadays, there are two ways to control the effect of FexAly in welding: 1) the elimination of IMCs or 2) the generation of a thin and homogeneous layer of these phases. In this way, the present work explores the first route, manufacturing joints aluminum-steel using solid state welding process. In order to evaluate the effect of the welding parameters, temperature measures were carried out during the process as well as the microstructural evaluation using optical microscopy and SEM. Finally, the welded joints were subject to tensile strength tests to evaluate their mechanical behavior and try to stablish the nature of the interfacial bonding between both metals. The microstructural characterization of the joints does not reveal the formation of IMCs; this is attributed to the low temperature reached during the process, lower than 545 °C. The welded joint failures in the TMAZ, in the low hardness zone, product of the over aging of the precipitates β”. The nature of the bonding in the interface is not clear yet, but it is considered that the atomic diffusion trough the interface and adhesive bonding favors the joint.

  • Temperature and Humidity Effects on the Corrosion of Aluminum-Base Reactor Fuel Cladding Materials During Dry Storage
    XA04CO098 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY EFFECTS ON THE CORROSION OF ALUMINUM-BASE REACTOR FUEL CLADDING MATERIALS DURING DRY STORAGE H.B. Peacock, R.L. Sindelar and P.S. Lam ABSTRACT The effect of temperature and relative humidity on the high temperature (up to 200 'Q corrosion of aluminum cladding alloys was investigated for dry storage of spent nuclear fuels. A dependency on alloy type and temperature was determined for saturated water vapor conditions. Models were developed to allow prediction of cladding behavior of 1100, 5052, and 6061 aluminum alloys for up to 50+ years at 100% relative humidity. Calculations show that for a closed system, corrosion stops after all moisture and oxygen is used up during corrosion reactions with aluminum alloys. 1. INTRODUCTION Many research and test reactors including Savannah River Reactors are operated using aluminum clad fuel elements with either aluminum-uranium or aluminum-uranium silicide cores. After irradiation, the spent fuel must be stored or reprocessed to maintain safe environmental conditions. Countries are considering dry storage as an option for temporary storage and several are already storing some of their spent fuel using this method. In the US, dry storage is being proposed for aluminum based fuels, but before a facility is built, a technical basis needs to be established to define the acceptance criteria for 50+ years of safe storage. Degradation of the fuel due to corrosion of the aluminum is a major concern for dry storage where corrosive environments exist. Therefore, storage conditions must be specified for maximum cladding temperature, cover gas requirements, and drying procedures to avoid excessive degradation.
