  1. 11. Development of a Method to Measure Residual Stresses in Cast Components with Complex Geometries

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Yang Yang; [2020]
    Keywords : Residual Stresses; Cast Iron; Engine Components; XRD; Ultrasonic; Cutting;

    Abstract : Cast iron, taking the advantages of the advanced castability forming components of complex geometries and favorable mechanical properties, is employed in engine components in truck industries. Compacted graphite iron (CGI) integrates both merits of lamellar graphite iron (LGI) and spheroidal graphite iron (SGI) such as good machinability and high thermal conductivity from LGI, high ultimate tensile strength (UTS), good fatigue resistance, high elastic modulus, and high ductility from SGI, thus is now becoming a competitive alternative of traditional LGI in cylinder blocks and heads.

  3. 12. Characterization of Heat Treated LMwD Ti-6Al-4V to Study the Effect of Cooling Rate on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Emil Edin; [2019]
    Keywords : Ti-6Al-4V; LMwD; Characterization; Alpha Laths;

    Abstract : In this work, the influence of different cooling rates (5, 20, 50 and 100 °C/s) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Laser Metal Wire Deposited (LMwD) Ti-6Al-4V was investigated, this was done using a thermal-mechanical physical simulation system (Gleeble 3800, DSI). Two different soak times above β transus (held at 1100 °C), 5 and 40 s, were used and after cooling to 150 °C, the samples were tensile tested. READ MORE

  4. 13. Influence of nitrocarburization on the thermomechanical fatigue properties of ductile iron for exhaust components : Analysis and comparisons of TMF-properties

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Karl Larsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Thermo-mechanical fatigue; low cycle fatigue; thermal strain; ductile cast iron; nitrocarburizing;

    Abstract : New stricter environmental legislation requires lower emissions and fuel consumption of automotive engines. Therefore the fuel efficiency must be increased but this leads to higher loads in the engine. As for the exhaust system it is affected by higher thermomechanical loads. READ MORE

  5. 14. Finite element modelling of strained nanowire heterostructures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Alexander Grape Wyke; [2019]
    Keywords : Strain; nanowire; heterostructure; physics; nanophysics; COMSOL; simulation; lattice; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : When two materials with different lattice constants are grown together, this generates stress between them, and therefore strain. This strain causes them to have different thermal and electrical properties, and this is especially important on the nanoscale where changes have large impacts. READ MORE

  6. 15. Basic Creep of Young Concrete - Sensitivity in the Evaluation Method

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Benar Ekmat; Natalea Hermes; [2019]
    Keywords : thermal cracking; young concrete; creep; Linear Logarithmic Model; temperature development; average strain; sensitivity.; Temperatursprickor; ung betong; krypning; Linjär Logaritmisk Modell; temperaturutveckling; töjning; känslighet.;

    Abstract : Creep is defined as deformation that takes place under constant load after an initial elastic response. This thesis focuses on a material property problem area that concerns stress analysis. Focus is on stress development considering creep deformations occurring when a concrete structure is under load, i.e. READ MORE
