Analysis of Surface Properties of Nickel Alloy Elements Exposed to Impulse Shot Peening with the Use of Positron Annihilation.

ABSTRACT: The paper presents the results of experimental studies on the impact of impulse shot peening parameters on surface roughness (Sa, Sz, Sp, Sv), surface layer microhardness, and the mean positron lifetime (τ_mean). In the study, samples made of the Inconel 718 nickel alloy were subjected to impulse shot peening on an originally designed stand. The variable factors of the experiment included the impact energy, the diameter of the peening element, and the number of impacts per unit area. The impulse shot peening resulted in changes in the surface structure and an increase in surface layer microhardness. After the application of impulse shot peening, the analyzed roughness parameters increased in relation to post-milling values. An increase in microhardness was obtained, i.e., from 27 HV 0.05 to 108 HV 0.05 at the surface, while the maximum increase the microhardness occur at the depth from 0.04 mm to 0.08 mm. The changes in the physical properties of the surface layer were accompanied by an increase in the mean positron lifetime τ_mean. This is probably related to the increased positron annihilation in point defects. In the case of small surface deformations, the increase in microhardness was accompanied by a much lower increase in τ_mean, which may indicate a different course of changes in the defect structure consisting mainly in modification of the dislocation system. The dependent variables were subjected to ANOVA analysis of variance (it was one-factor analysis), and the effect of independent variables was evaluated using post-hoc tests (Tukey test).

Shot peening increases resistance to cyclic fatigue fracture of endodontic files.

Project description:The objective of this study was to assess the resistance to fatigue fracture of conventional nickel-titanium files after undergoing shot peening. Forty NITIFLEX endodontic files, number 30, were divided into two groups; one was submitted to shot peening treatment and the other was not. All instruments were tested for fatigue fracture in simulated canals with a TRI-AUTO ZX endodontic motor. One file of each group was subjected to a residual stress analysis by XRD. Finally, the fractured surface was observed and elemental analysis performed by means of SEM and EDX. Roughness analysis was made by focal variation microscope. The shot peening group showed greater resistance to fatigue fracture; there was no difference in the length of the fractured fragments. XRD results showed the presence of residual compression stresses in the file submitted to shot peening, a decrease in the interplanar spacing, and an increase in the full-width-at-half-maximum and the microstrains. SEM and EDX showed a ductile fracture with zones of fatigue and an equiatomic ratio between the nickel and titanium. Surface roughness increased after the file was subjected to the shot peening procedure. In conclusion, shot peening increases the resistance to fatigue fracture due to the presence of residual compression stresses in files manufactured from a conventional nickel-titanium alloy.

Local electron-electron interaction strength in ferromagnetic nickel determined by spin-polarized positron annihilation.

Project description:We employ a positron annihilation technique, the spin-polarized two-dimensional angular correlation of annihilation radiation (2D-ACAR), to measure the spin-difference spectra of ferromagnetic nickel. The experimental data are compared with the theoretical results obtained within a combination of the local spin density approximation (LSDA) and the many-body dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). We find that the self-energy defining the electronic correlations in Ni leads to anisotropic contributions to the momentum distribution. By direct comparison of the theoretical and experimental results we determine the strength of the local electronic interaction U in ferromagnetic Ni as 2.0 ± 0.1 eV.

Effects of WC-17Co Coating Combined with Shot Peening Treatment on Fatigue Behaviors of TC21 Titanium Alloy.

Project description:The improvement and mechanism of the fatigue resistance of TC21 high-strength titanium alloy with a high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) sprayed WC-17Co coating was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the corresponding stress measurement instrument, a surface roughness tester, a micro-hardness tester, and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to determine the properties of the HVOF WC-17Co coating with or without shot peening. The fatigue behavior of the TC21 titanium alloy with or without the WC-17Co coating was determined by using a rotating bending fatigue testing machine. The results revealed that the polished HVOF sprayed WC-17Co coating had almost the same fatigue resistance as the TC21 titanium alloy substrate. This resulted from the polishing-induced residual surface compressive stress and a decrease in the stress concentration on the surface of the coating. Moderate-intensity shot peening of the polished WC-17Co coatings resulted in significant improvement of the fatigue resistance of the alloy. Furthermore, the fatigue life was substantially higher than that of the substrate, owing to the deep distribution of residual stress and high compressive stress induced by shot peening. The improved surface toughness of the coating can effectively delay the initiation of fatigue crack propagation.

Amorphous nickel boride membrane on a platinum-nickel alloy surface for enhanced oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:The low activity of the oxygen reduction reaction in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells is a major barrier for electrocatalysis, and hence needs to be optimized. Tuning the surface electronic structure of platinum-based bimetallic alloys, a promising oxygen reduction reaction catalyst, plays a key role in controlling its interaction with reactants, and thus affects the efficiency. Here we report that a dealloying process can be utilized to experimentally fabricate the interface between dealloyed platinum-nickel alloy and amorphous nickel boride membrane. The coating membrane works as an electron acceptor to tune the surface electronic structure of the platinum-nickel catalyst, and this composite catalyst composed of crystalline platinum-nickel covered by amorphous nickel boride achieves a 27-times enhancement in mass activity relative to commercial platinum/carbon at 0.9?V for the oxygen reduction reaction performance. Moreover, this interactional effect between a crystalline surface and amorphous membrane can be readily generalized to facilitate the 3-times higher catalytic activity of commercial platinum/carbon.

Laser Peening Process and Its Impact on Materials Properties in Comparison with Shot Peening and Ultrasonic Impact Peening.

Project description:The laser shock peening (LSP) process using a Q-switched pulsed laser beam for surface modification has been reviewed. The development of the LSP technique and its numerous advantages over the conventional shot peening (SP) such as better surface finish, higher depths of residual stress and uniform distribution of intensity were discussed. Similar comparison with ultrasonic impact peening (UIP)/ultrasonic shot peening (USP) was incorporated, when possible. The generation of shock waves, processing parameters, and characterization of LSP treated specimens were described. Special attention was given to the influence of LSP process parameters on residual stress profiles, material properties and structures. Based on the studies so far, more fundamental understanding is still needed when selecting optimized LSP processing parameters and substrate conditions. A summary of the parametric studies of LSP on different materials has been presented. Furthermore, enhancements in the surface micro and nanohardness, elastic modulus, tensile yield strength and refinement of microstructure which translates to increased fatigue life, fretting fatigue life, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and corrosion resistance were addressed. However, research gaps related to the inconsistencies in the literature were identified. Current status, developments and challenges of the LSP technique were discussed.

In-Flight Observation of Positron Annihilation by ILDAS.

Project description:We report a 511-keV photon flux enhancement that was observed inside a thundercloud and is a result of positron annihilation. The observation was made with the In-flight Lightning Damage Assessment System (ILDAS) on board of an A340 test aircraft. The aircraft was intentionally flying through a thunderstorm at 12-km altitude over Northern Australia in January 2016. Two gamma ray detectors showed a significant count rate increase synchronously with fast electromagnetic field variations registered by an on-board antenna. A sequence of 10 gamma ray enhancements was detected, each lasted for about 1 s. Their spectrum mainly consists of 511-keV photons and their Compton component. The local electric activity during the emission was identified as a series of static discharges of the aircraft. A full-scale Geant4 model of the aircraft was created to estimate the emission area. Monte Carlo simulation indicated that the positrons annihilated in direct vicinity or in the aircraft body.

Effects of Plasma ZrN Metallurgy and Shot Peening Duplex Treatment on Fretting Wear and Fretting Fatigue Behavior of Ti6Al4V Alloy.

Project description:A metallurgical zirconium nitride (ZrN) layer was fabricated using glow metallurgy using nitriding with zirconiuming prior treatment of the Ti6Al4V alloy. The microstructure, composition and microhardness of the corresponding layer were studied. The influence of this treatment on fretting wear (FW) and fretting fatigue (FF) behavior of the Ti6Al4V alloy was studied. The composite layer consisted of an 8-μm-thick ZrN compound layer and a 50-μm-thick nitrogen-rich Zr-Ti solid solution layer. The surface microhardness of the composite layer is 1775 HK0.1. A gradient in cross-sectional microhardness distribution exists in the layer. The plasma ZrN metallurgical layer improves the FW resistance of the Ti6Al4V alloy, but reduces the base FF resistance. This occurs because the improvement in surface hardness results in lowering of the toughness and increasing in the notch sensitivity. Compared with shot peening treatment, plasma ZrN metallurgy and shot peening composite treatment improves the FW resistance and enhances the FF resistance of the Ti6Al4V alloy. This is attributed to the introduction of a compressive stress field. The combination of toughness, strength, FW resistance and fatigue resistance enhance the FF resistance for titanium alloy.

Effects of Shot Peening Pressure, Time, and Material on the Properties of Carburized Steel Shafts.

Project description:Carburized steel shafts are commonly used in industry due to their good wear resistance and fatigue life. If the surface of carburized shafts exhibits an undesired tensile stress, shot peening treatment may be required to alter the stress condition on the surface. In the present study, the effects of shot peening pressure (3-5 kg/cm2), time (32-64 s), and material (stainless steel, carbon steel, and glass) on the residual stress, retained austenite, microhardness, and surface roughness of the carburized shafts were investigated. The experimental results showed that the surface residual tensile stress was changed into compressive stress after the shot peening treatment. The shot peening effects increased with the increasing peening pressure and time. In addition, a significant decrease in the amount of retained austenite in the subsurface region was observed. Peening with different materials can affect the peening effect. Using glass pellets exhibited the best shot peening effect but suffered massive pellet fracture during processing. In overall consideration, the optimal peening parameters for carburized steel shafts for practical industrial applications involved using the stainless-steel pellets with a peening pressure of 5 kg/cm2 and a peening time of 64 s. The maximum residual stress was -779 MPa at a depth of 0.02 mm, while the highest surface microhardness was 827 HV0.1.

Positron Binding and Annihilation Properties of Amino Acid Systems.

Project description:Despite the fact that the positron annihilation has been used in biomedical applications, the detailed mechanism of the positron annihilation on biological molecules remains poorly understood so far. In this work, we investigated the positron binding and positron annihilation properties for both global minimum and hydrogen-bonded structures of 20 amino acid molecules using the multicomponent molecular orbital method. By regression analysis, we confirmed that positron affinity can increase with an increase of the permanent dipole moment of the parent amino acids as reported in previous studies, while the annihilation rate linearly increases with respect to the square root of positron affinity. By the one-particle property analyses for probabilities of electron-positron contacts, we found that delocalization characteristics of both electrons and positrons play key roles to enhance the positron annihilation rate arising from both the valence electrons in σ- and π-type molecular orbitals from 2p atomic orbitals but not from the highest occupied molecular orbital electrons, particularly for comparatively weakly bound positronic amino acid systems.

Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy Study of Metallic Materials after High-Speed Cutting.

Project description:During high-speed cutting, a white layer is often produced on the machined surfaces after mechanical machining, seriously affecting the mechanical properties. These properties are related to the material structure and the defects induced by cutting. However, there is a lack of research on the atomic-scale defects of the white layer. This paper studied the influence of cutting parameters, namely the feed rate, cutting speed and cutting depth, on atomic-scale defects induced by high-speed cutting in GCr15 steel. Positron annihilation studies showed typical plastically deformed or tempered carbon steel defects with additional vacancy cluster components. The quantity of these clusters changed with cutting parameters. Furthermore, significant changes were observed in the subsurface region up to 1 µm, occurring as a result of simultaneous phase transformations, deformation and thermal impacts. The predominant accumulation of only one type of atomic-scale defect was not observed.
