To save computational time and physical memory in welding thermo-mechanical analysis, an accurate adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) method was proposed based on the feature of moving heat source during the welding. The locally refined mesh was generated automatically according to the position of the heat source to solve the displacement field. A background mesh, without forming a global matrix, was designed to maintain the accuracy of stress and strain after mesh coarsening. The solutions are always carried out on the refined computational mesh using a selective integration scheme. To evaluate the performance of the developed method, a fillet welding joint was first analyzed via validation of the accuracy of conventional FEM by experiment. Secondly, a larger fillet joint and its variations with a greater number of degrees of freedom were analyzed via conventional FEM and current AMR. The simulation results confirmed that the proposed method is accurate and efficient. An improvement in computational efficiency by 7 times was obtained, and memory saving is about 63% for large-scale models.
为了节省焊接热机械分析的计算时间和物理内存，根据焊接过程中热源移动的特点，提出了一种精确的自适应网格细化（AMR）方法。根据热源的位置自动生成局部细化网格，以求解位移场。设计了一个不形成全局矩阵的背景网格，以保持网格粗化后应力和应变的精度。求解始终在细化的计算网格上进行，采用选择性积分方案。为了评估所开发方法的性能，首先通过实验验证了传统 FEM 的准确性，并对圆角焊接接头进行了分析。其次，通过传统 FEM 和当前 AMR 分析了一个更大的圆角焊点及其具有更多自由度的变化。模拟结果证实了所提出方法的准确性和高效性。计算效率提高了 7 倍，对于大型模型，内存节省了约 63%。

Thermomechanical action during high-performance diamond grinding of sintered cutting Al2O3/TiC and SiAlON ceramics leads to increased defectiveness of the surface layer of the deposited TiZrN and CrAlSiN/DLC coatings. It predetermines the discontinuous and porous coatings and reduces its effectiveness under abrasive exposure and fretting wear. The developed technological approach is based on “dry” etching with beams of accelerated argon atoms with an energy of 5 keV for high-performance removal of defects. It ensures the removal of the defective layer on ceramics and reduces the index of defectiveness (the product of defects’ density per unit surface area) by several orders of magnitude, compared with diamond grinding. There are no pronounced discontinuities and pores in the microstructure of coatings. Under mechanical loads, the coatings ensure a stable boundary anti-friction film between the ceramics and counter body that significantly increases the wear resistance of samples. The treatment reduces the volumetric wear under 20 min of abrasive action by 2 and 6 times for TiZrN and CrAlSiN/DLC coatings for Al2O3/TiC and by 5 and 23 times for SiAlON. The volumetric wear under fretting wear at 105 friction cycles is reduced by 2–3 times for both coatings for Al2O3/TiC and by 3–4 times for SiAlON.

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a highly precise technology that not only facilitates the machining of components into desired shapes but also enables the alteration of the physical and chemical properties of workpieces. The complexity of the process is due to a number of regulating factors such as the material of the workpiece and tools, dielectric medium, and other process parameters. Based on the material type, electrode shape, and process configuration, various shapes and degrees of accuracy can be generated. The study of erosion is based on research into processing techniques, which are the primary tools for using EDM. Empirical knowledge with subsequent optimization of technological parameters is one of the ways to obtain the required surface quality of the workpiece with defect minimization, as well as mathematical and numerical modeling of the EDM process. This article critically examines all key aspects of EDM, reflecting both the early foundations of electrical erosion and the current state of the industry, noting the current trends towards the transition of EDM to the 5.0 industry zone in terms of safety and minimizing the impact of the process on the environment.

Coatings with high hardness were successfully obtained using low-pressure cold spray (LPCS) technology from nanocrystalline powders based on the aluminum alloy AlMg6, which were multi-reinforced with 0.3 wt.% fullerenes and 10–50 wt.% AlN. The powders were synthesized through a two-stage high-energy ball milling process, resulting in a complex mechanical mixture consisting of agglomerates and micro-sized ceramic particles of AlN. The agglomerates comprise particles of the nanocomposite material AlMg6/C60 with embedded and surface-located, micro-sized ceramic particles of AlN. Scanning electron microscopy and EDS analyses demonstrated a uniform distribution of reinforcing particles throughout the coating volume. An X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the coatings revealed a change in the predominant orientation of matrix alloy grains to a more chaotic state during deformation over the course of cold gas dynamic spraying. A quantitative determination of AlN content in the coating was achieved through the processing of XRD data using the reference intensity ratio (RIR) method. It was found that the proportion of transferred ceramic particles from the multi-reinforced powder to the coating did not exceed ~65%. Experimental evidence indicated that LPCS processing of mono-reinforced nanocrystalline powder composite AlMg6/C60 practically did not lead to the formation of a coating on the substrate and was limited to a monolayer with a thickness of ~10 µm. The microhardness of the monolayer coating obtained from the deposition of AlMg6/C60 powder was 181 ± 12 HV. Additionally, the introduction of 10 to 50 wt.% AlN into the powder mixture contributed to the enhancement of growth efficiency and an increase in coating microhardness by ~1.4–1.7 times. The obtained results demonstrate that the utilization of agglomerated multi-reinforced powders for cold gas dynamic spraying can be an effective strategy for producing coatings and bulk materials based on aluminum and its alloys with high microhardness.

The development of titanium-β alloys for biomedical applications is associated with the addition of alloying elements or the use of processing techniques to obtain suitable bulk properties. The Ti25Ta25Nb3Sn alloy has been highlighted for its mechanical properties and biocompatibility. To further enhance the properties of titanium alloys for biomedical applications, equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was used due to its capability of refining the microstructure of the alloy, leading to improved mechanical properties without significant changes in Young’s modulus. This study aims to evaluate the impact of ECAP on the microstructure of the Ti-25Sn-25Nb-3Nb alloy and investigate the correlation between the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosive behavior. Grain refinement was achieved after four ECAP passes, with an average grain diameter of 395 nm and a non-homogeneous structure, and microhardness was slightly increased from 193 to 212 HV after four ECAP passes. The thermomechanical aspects of the ECAP processing have led to the formation of a metastable α″ phase during the first two passes, while after four passes, the structure was composed only of the β phase. The corrosion resistance of the alloy was increased after four passes, presenting the best results in terms of the improvement of passivation corrosion density.

Repairing links of offshore mooring chains has presented a significant industry challenge, primarily arising from modifications in material properties, encompassing alterations in microstructure, hardness, and residual stress. In this context, the present work investigates the method of friction hydro-pillar processing (FHPP) applied to R4 grade mooring chain steel. Joints in as-repaired and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) conditions were subjected to residual stress (RS) tests using the neutron diffraction technique, microhardness mapping, and microstructural evaluations. The process generated peaks of tensile and compressive stresses in different directions and hardness below that of the parent material in the softening zone. The friction zone promoted high hardness levels in the thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ) with a maximum of 19% of the ultimate tensile strength of the parent material. As expected, the PWHT restored the RS and reduced the hardness; however, 4 h PWHT allowed the elimination of a hardness higher than that of the base material.

This study uses machine learning methods to model different stages of the calcination process in cement, with the goal of improving knowledge of the generation of CO2 during cement manufacturing. Calcination is necessary to determine the clinker quality, energy needs, and CO2 emissions in a cement-producing facility. Due to the intricacy of the calcination process, it has historically been challenging to precisely anticipate the CO2 produced. The purpose of this study is to determine a direct association between CO2 generation from the manufacture of raw materials and the process factors. In this paper, six machine learning techniques are investigated to explore two output variables: (1) the apparent degree of oxidation, and (2) the apparent degree of calcination. CO2 molecular composition (dry basis) sensitivity analysis uses over 6000 historical manufacturing health data points as input variables, and the results are used to train the algorithms. The Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of various regression models is examined, and the models are then run to ascertain which independent variables in cement manufacturing had the largest impact on the dependent variables. To establish which independent variable has the biggest impact on CO2 emissions, the significance of the other factors is also assessed.

The quality of NiTi coating influences the thermal, microstructural, and mechanical behavior of the material produced by plasma spraying. To understand the behavior of the coating, the study has been designed and planned at two different plasma powers with various feed rates. NiTi as shape memory layers emerge as promising protective coatings on the surface of substrates against corrosion or wear. In the present investigation, NiTi multilayers were produced by thermal plasma spraying using NiTi (50 at. %) powder as the feedstock material. This work illustrates the studies of the microstructure, porosity of the coating layers, phase detection, hardness values, shape memory behavior, and the formation of samples produced by different spraying parameters. The porosity within coating layers has been analyzed based on the various shape factors of pores that correlate with the hardness and mechanical behavior of the samples. This work will explore the quality of the coating in terms of its porosity and compactness, which will affect the performance of the shape memory behavior. The functional coating of NiTi will have a significant influence on the durability of the material’s performance against corrosion.

The effect of plasma electrolytic nitrocarburizing on the wear resistance of carbon tool steel in friction couples with hardened steel and lead-tin bronze is considered in order to study the mechanism and type of wear, as well as the influence of structural and morphological characteristics of the surface on them. The microgeometry of friction tracks and its change with an increasing duration of friction tests are analyzed. The equilibrium roughness is determined, which is optimal for the friction couple and ensures minimal wear. The optimal values of the plasma electrolytic nitrocarburizing parameters, which provide the lowest values of the friction coefficient and wear rate, have been determined. The phase and elemental composition of the surface layer was studied using X-ray diffraction analysis and EDX analysis. The relationship of the microstructure of the nitrocarburized layer of tool steel with the friction coefficient and weight wear is established.

Ni-Cr-Si-Fe-B self-fluxing alloys are commonly used in hardfacing applications; in addition, they are subjected to conditions of wear, corrosion, and high temperatures, but are not used in casting applications. In this work, gravity casting is presented as a potential manufacturing route for these alloys. Three alloys with different chemical compositions were investigated with a focus on microstructure characterization, solidification path, and strengthening mechanisms. Phases and precipitates were characterized using a field emission scanning electron microscope employing energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, wavelength dispersive spectroscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction. Nano- and microhardness indentations were performed at different phases to understand their contribution to the overall hardness of the studied alloys. Hardness measurements were performed at room temperature and high temperature (650 °C). The borides and carbides were the hardest phases in the microstructure, thus contributing significantly to the overall hardness of the alloys. Additional hardening was provided by the presence of hard Ni3B eutectics; however, there was also a small contribution from the solid solution hardening of the γ-Ni dendrites in the high-alloy-grade sample. The amount and size of the different phases and precipitates depended mainly on the contents of the Cr, C, and B of the alloy.

In this work, gravity casting is presented as a potential manufacturing route for these alloys. Three alloys with different chemical compositions were investigated with a focus on microstructure characterization, solidification path, and strengthening mechanisms. Phases and precipitates were characterized using a field emission scanning electron microscope employing energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, wavelength dispersive spectroscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction. Nano- and microhardness indentations were performed at different phases to understand their contribution to the overall hardness of the studied alloys. Hardness measurements were performed at room temperature and high temperature (650 °C). The borides and carbides were the hardest phases in the microstructure, thus contributing significantly to the overall hardness of the alloys.
