A straightforward technology for the thermal cyclic processing of the Fe-C melt has been developed to induce significant super-cooling before crystallization. Eutectic crystallization of pro-eutectic alloys under substantial super-cooling is demonstrated to be a complex process, comprising several partial crystallization processes and the synchronous dissolution of crystalline phases: austenite and two metastable carbides, Fe3C and Fe7C3. The kinetics of the eutectic transformation L→L+Fe7C3 in its microscopic and thermal (DSC) imaging has been studied. In general, crystallization proceeds according to the scheme L→L+Fe7C3+γ→L+Fe7C3+γ+Fe3C→ Fe7C3+γ+Fe3C. Consequently, plate-like eutectic (Fe7C3+γ) with an austenite matrix and ledeburite (Fe3C+γ) with a cementite matrix are formed. A schematic diagram of the metastable phase equilibria in the Fe-C system is provided. In the conducted experiments, phase transformations occur in two subsystems: Fe-Fe3C (at low supercooling) and Fe-Fe7C3 (a subsystem of metastable equilibria of the second, higher degree of metastability at large supercooling). This is confirmed by the replacement of the carbide phase and different equilibrate concentrations of austenite in metastable equilibrium with each of the carbides.

Biological pollution creates significant obstacles in the operation of power plants' technical water supply cooling systems (SCS). To minimize biological pollution, methods of corrective treatment with biocides are implemented. While these biocides effectively prevent fouling of the cooling system, they can also adversely affect the environment and structural materials. By evaluating structural materials' corrosion resistance and biocides' environmental safety for the cooling water during biocide treatment, any potential issues can be identified and addressed before they become a safety or operational concern. The paper presents the results of bench tests of the corrosion resistance of structural materials SCS, corrosion aggressiveness of the biocides: sodium hypochlorite NaClO and 2, 2-dibromo-3-nitriloropionamide (DBNPA), and the results of measurements of the concentration of biocides and their decomposition products to assess compliance with environmental standards when discharging return water when applying from biocides treatment. The cooling water SCS of the Rivne NPP (Nuclear Power Plant) was chosen as the research object. Bench corrosion tests were carried out using samples of corrosion indicators from materials: steels Ст20, 08Х18Н10Т; copper alloy МНЖ-5-1 and aluminum, which are defined as analogs of structural materials of the technical water supply system of the Rivne NPP. The conditions of operation of the technical water SCS of the Rivne NPP were simulated on the test bench, and corrosion rate measurement was carried out by the gravimetric method.

This paper is to study weldability and joining characteristics of dissimilar metal welding between low carbon steel and ferritic stainless steel using ER308L and ER309L filler wires. Weldability and welded joints were evaluated by microstructure analysis and bend test. It was observed that the microstructure of the fusion zone and the bend test of the welded joint were significantly affected by welding parameters and filler wire. A welded joint prepared with high heat input using the ER309L filler wire exhibited a significant delta ferrite and austenite microstructure. In contrast, when employing the ER308L filler wire with a high intensity welding current, martensite, and carbide formed at the fusion zone. The bend property was acceptable for all the specimens, and there was no evidence of solidification cracking.

The main objective of this work is to optimize welding parameters of AISI 430 FSS welds, focused to minimization of ferrite grains size using Taguchi’s design. Two input parameters of speed and welding current; were chosen to select the minimum grain size and to ascertain their effects on ferrite grain size. ANOVA method was used to evaluate the influence of varying factors on the overall quality of welds. Optimal combination of the parameters were be predicted by S/N analyses, it was accessed on employing an 80 A with 6mm/s. Experimental characterizations of optimum weld joint were performed by using tensile test assisted by image correlations, optical and electronic microscopy. As a result, welding speed had the main influence on grain size by 84.30%. Optimum welding parameter offered finest microstructure with low rate of martensite precipitates in both fusion zone and heat affected zone, and best combination of strength and ductility, it presented a homogeneous distribution of tensile stresses that caused a ductile fracture in base material. ,it is found that that optimized welding parameters permit to give greater resistance to corrosion, which exhibit a lower corrosion current, indicating that coarse ferrite grains are more susceptible to corrosion compared to fine grains.

The forming limit curve (FLC) is commonly used to predict the formability behavior of sheet metal after the forming process. In this research, the forming limit curve generated from the Materials Model was applied to analyze and predict the fracture behavior of the fuel tank workpiece, a motorcycle part made of AA5754-O material, using the deep drawing process simulated by the finite element method. The research involved a comparison with actual cracks that occur in the automotive industry after molding. To determine the mechanical properties of the AA5754-O material for use in the forming limit curve, a specimen with a thickness of 1.5 mm was subjected to a tensile strength test, providing the necessary input for the mechanical properties in the forming limit curve based on the Keeler-Beizer equation. The forming limit curve is a correlation graph between major strain and minor strain. When the FLC is created from the Materials Model, it is utilized in conjunction with deep drawing drag simulation in the PAM-STAMP program to predict the fracture point. The accuracy of the mathematically generated FLC in predicting fracture behavior was verified after the deep drawing process. The study found that the FLC based on the Keeler-Beizer equation can accurately predict the cracking behavior of AA5754-O sheet metal, enabling identification of the fracture location during the deep drawing process. One advantage of creating the FLC from the material models is its compatibility with the same material but with different workpiece shapes, allowing its use in conjunction with molding simulations using various programs. This approach saves costs associated with testing to obtain the FLC.

In this study, the controllability of the spring performance of complex sheet spring shapes was investigated to develop complex sheet spring shapes that are based on origami engineering, with the aim of integrating laser hardening formation with origami engineering. The number of forms generated during the same development was predicted from an origami engineering perspective, and two forms that agreed with the experimental results were generated. Consequently, the rigid-body origami simulation showed that the deformation behavior differs from that of the measured values, which is considered to be in accordance with elastic-body origami. Moreover, springs with arbitrary performances could be produced by varying the processing time and form.

The study presents mechanical performance metrics, especially, energy absorption, of aluminium foams fabricated by melt processing with CaCO3 blowing agent without Ca additive. Relatively ductile Al1Mg0.6Si alloy and high strength Al6Zn2.3Mg alloy comprising brittle eutectic domains were employed for the foams manufacture and then examined in conditions of uniaxial quasi-static compression. It was recognized that mechanical response of the foams and energy absorption is radically defined by the mechanism of cell collapse which, in turn, depends on the nature of structural constituents of the cell wall material. In particular, the presence of brittle eutectic domains in the cell wall material of foam based on Al6Zn2.3Mg alloy results in reducing the compressive strength and energy absorption compared to those of foam processed with Al1Mg0.6Si alloy, both deviate markedly from the theoretical predictions. In spite of this experimental verification of foams cell collapse is considered to be strongly required before their engineering application.
