Surface and Bulk Carbide Transformations in High-Speed Steel.

ABSTRACT: We have studied the transformation of carbides in AISI M42 high-speed steels in the temperature window used for forging. The annealing was found to result in the partial transformation of the large, metastable M2C carbides into small, more stable grains of M6C, with an associated change in the crystal orientation. In addition, MC carbides form during the transformation of M2C to M6C. From the high-speed-steel production point of view, it is beneficial to have large, metastable carbides in the cast structure, which later during annealing, before the forging, transform into a structure of polycrystalline carbides. Such carbides can be easily decomposed into several small carbides, which are then randomly distributed in the microstructure. The results also show an interesting difference in the carbide-transformation reactions on the surface versus the bulk of the alloy, which has implications for in-situ studies of bulk phenomena that are based on surface observations.

An Investigation into the Surface Integrity of Micro-Machined High-Speed Steel and Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tools.

Project description:The performance and lifespan of cutting tools are significantly influenced by their surface quality. The present report highlights recent advances in enhancing the surface characteristics of tungsten carbide and high-speed steel cutting tools using a novel micro-machining technique for polishing and edge-honing. Notably, the main aim was to reduce the surface roughness while maintaining the hardness of the materials at an optimal level. By conducting a thorough analysis of surfaces obtained using different techniques, it was found that the micro-machining method effectively decreased the surface roughness of the cutting tools the most effectively out of the techniques investigated. Significantly, the surface roughness was reduced from an initial measurement of 400 nm to an impressive value of 60 nm. No significant change in hardness was observed, which guarantees the maintenance of the mechanical properties of the cutting tools. This analysis enhances the comprehension of surface enhancement methodologies for cutting tools through the presentation of these findings. The observed decrease in surface roughness, along with the consistent hardness, exhibits potential for improving tool performance. These enhancements possess the capacity to optimise manufacturing processes, increase tool reliability, and minimise waste generation.

Spark Plasma Co-Sintering of Mechanically Milled Tool Steel and High Speed Steel Powders.

Project description:Hot work tool steel (AISI H13) and high speed steel (AISI M3:2) powders were successfully co-sintered to produce hybrid tool steels that have properties and microstructures that can be modulated for specific applications. To promote co-sintering, which is made difficult by the various densification kinetics of the two steels, the particle sizes and structures were refined by mechanical milling (MM). Near full density samples (>99.5%) showing very fine and homogeneous microstructure were obtained using spark plasma sintering (SPS). The density of the blends (20, 40, 60, 80 wt % H13) was in agreement with the linear rule of mixtures. Their hardness showed a positive deviation, which could be ascribed to the strengthening effect of the secondary particles altering the stress distribution during indentation. A toughening of the M3:2-rich blends could be explained in view of the crack deviation and crack arrest exerted by the H13 particles.

Corrosion Inhibition of High Speed Steel by Biopolymer HPMC Derivatives.

Project description:The corrosion inhibition characteristics of the derivatives of biopolymer hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate (HPMCP), and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) film are investigated. Based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopic measurements and potentiodynamic polarization, the corrosion inhibition performance of high speed steel coated with HPMC derivatives is evaluated. The Nyquist plot and Tafel polarization demonstrate promising anti-corrosion performance of HPMC and HPMCP. With increasing film thickness, both materials reveal improvement in corrosion inhibition. Moreover, because of a hydrophobic surface and lower moisture content, HPMCP shows better anti-corrosion performance than HPMCAS. The study is of certain importance for designing green corrosion inhibitors of high speed steel surfaces by the use of biopolymer derivatives.

High-Speed "4D" Computational Microscopy of Bacterial Surface Motility.

Project description:Bacteria exhibit surface motility modes that play pivotal roles in early-stage biofilm community development, such as type IV pili-driven "twitching" motility and flagellum-driven "spinning" and "swarming" motility. Appendage-driven motility is controlled by molecular motors, and analysis of surface motility behavior is complicated by its inherently 3D nature, the speed of which is too fast for confocal microscopy to capture. Here, we combine electromagnetic field computation and statistical image analysis to generate 3D movies close to a surface at 5 ms time resolution using conventional inverted microscopes. We treat each bacterial cell as a spherocylindrical lens and use finite element modeling to solve Maxwell's equations and compute the diffracted light intensities associated with different angular orientations of the bacterium relative to the surface. By performing cross-correlation calculations between measured 2D microscopy images and a library of computed light intensities, we demonstrate that near-surface 3D movies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa translational and rotational motion are possible at high temporal resolution. Comparison between computational reconstructions and detailed hydrodynamic calculations reveals that P. aeruginosa act like low Reynolds number spinning tops with unstable orbits, driven by a flagellum motor with a torque output of ∼2 pN μm. Interestingly, our analysis reveals that P. aeruginosa can undergo complex flagellum-driven dynamical behavior, including precession, nutation, and an unexpected taxonomy of surface motility mechanisms, including upright-spinning bacteria that diffuse laterally across the surface, and horizontal bacteria that follow helicoidal trajectories and exhibit superdiffusive movements parallel to the surface.

Effect of nano-grain carbide formation on electrochemical behavior of 316L stainless steel.

Project description:The effect of low oxygen-partial pressured carburizing on relaxation process for 316L stainless steel is reported. Phase, morphology, and amount of compound formation during initial stage of carburizing are investigated using X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show formation and development of surface multilayer with nano-grain-carbide (Cr7C3, Fe7C3, and/or Cr3C2) generation in the layer located below outermost protective layer. The relaxation process has been investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Formation of nano-grain carbide(s) during carburizing causes deterioration effect on the electrochemical behavior of steel. However, the steel with large amount of carbide generation (carburized for 30 min) tends to have higher corrosion resistance (indicated by higher values of Rcl and Rct) than the smaller ones (10 and 20 min) due to the effect of phase, grain size, morphology, and amount of compound formation.

Phase transformations and vibrational properties of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite MAPbI<sub>3</sub> bulk at high pressure.

Project description:The structural stability and internal properties of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have been widely investigated over the past few years. The interplay between organic cations and inorganic framework is one of the prominent features. Herein we report the evolution of Raman modes under pressure in the hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite MAPbI[Formula: see text] by combining the experimental approach with the first-principles calculations. A bulk MAPbI[Formula: see text] single crystal was synthesized via inverse temperature crystallization (ITC) technique and characterized by Raman spectroscopy, while the diamond anvil cells (DACs) was employed to compress the sample. The classification and behaviours of their Raman modes are presented. At ambient pressure, the vibrations of inorganic PbI[Formula: see text] octahedra and organic MA dominate at a low-frequency range (60-760 cm[Formula: see text]) and a fingerprint range (900-1500 cm[Formula: see text]), respectively. The applied pressure exhibits two significant changes in the Raman spectrum and indicates of phase transition. The results obtained from both experiment and calculations of the second phase at 3.26 GPa reveal that the internal vibration intensity of the PbI[Formula: see text] octahedra (< 110 cm[Formula: see text]) reduces as absences of MA libration (150-270 cm[Formula: see text]) and internal vibration of MA (450-750 cm[Formula: see text]). Furthermore, the hydrogen interactions around 1300 cm[Formula: see text] remain strong high pressure up to 5.34 GPa.

Optimality of general lattice transformations with applications to the Bain strain in steel.

Project description:This article provides a rigorous proof of a conjecture by E. C. Bain in 1924 on the optimality of the so-called Bain strain based on a criterion of least atomic movement. A general framework that explores several such optimality criteria is introduced and employed to show the existence of optimal transformations between any two Bravais lattices. A precise algorithm and a graphical user interface to determine this optimal transformation is provided. Apart from the Bain conjecture concerning the transformation from face-centred cubic to body-centred cubic, applications include the face-centred cubic to body-centred tetragonal transition as well as the transformation between two triclinic phases of terephthalic acid.

Dilatometric Study of Phase Transformations in 5 Mn Steel Subjected to Different Heat Treatments.

Project description:The work presents results of phase transformation kinetics of hot-rolled 5% Mn steel subjected to different heat treatments. Three different schedules were introduced: isothermal holding in a bainite region, coiling simulation and intercritical annealing. The evolution of microstructure components was investigated using dilatometric and metallographic analyses. According to obtained results, the medium-Mn steel exhibits high resistance for ?/? transformation during the bainite transformation and coiling simulation (upon cooling from the austenite region). During 5 h isothermal holding, no bainite and/or ferrite formation was detected. This results in the formation of martensite upon cooling to room temperature. Differently, when the steel was subjected to the intercritical annealing at 720 and 700 °C (upon heating from room temperature), a final microstructure consisted of ferrite, martensite and retained austenite. At 700 °C, no fresh martensite formation was detected upon cooling to room temperature. This means that the austenite was enriched in carbon during the intercritical annealing step enough to keep its thermal stability.

Damped Cantilever Microprobes for High-Speed Contact Metrology with 3D Surface Topography.

Project description:We addressed the coating 5 mm-long cantilever microprobes with a viscoelastic material, which was intended to considerably extend the range of the traverse speed during the measurements of the 3D surface topography by damping contact-induced oscillations. The damping material was composed of epoxy glue, isopropyl alcohol, and glycerol, and its deposition onto the cantilever is described, as well as the tests of the completed cantilevers under free-oscillating conditions and in contact during scanning on a rough surface. The amplitude and phase of the cantilever's fundamental out-of-plane oscillation mode was investigated vs. the damping layer thickness, which was set via repeated coating steps. The resonance frequency and quality factor decreased with the increasing thickness of the damping layer for both the free-oscillating and in-contact scanning operation mode, as expected from viscoelastic theory. A very low storage modulus of E'≈100kPa, a loss modulus of E″≈434kPa, and a density of ρ≈1.2gcm-3 were yielded for the damping composite. Almost critical damping was observed with an approximately 130 µm-thick damping layer in the free-oscillating case, which was effective at suppressing the ringing behavior during the high-speed in-contact probing of the rough surface topography.

Bulk-independent surface oxide composition controls the electrochemical performance of high-entropy alloys.

Project description:Multi-element alloys and high-entropy alloys show promising electrocatalytic behavior for water splitting and other catalytic reactions, due to their highly tunable composition. While preparation and synthesis of these materials are thoroughly investigated, the true reactive surface composition is still not well understood, as it may significantly differ from the bulk composition. Precise knowledge and understanding of resulting surface composition is crucial for effective control of the electrocatalytic performance. In this work, low energy ion scattering spectroscopy was applied to determine the surface oxide composition of a series of Ni-based multi-metallic alloys with Mn, Fe, Co, and Cr under alkaline, neutral and acidic conditions. The composition of the surface oxide was investigated with sub-nanometer depth resolution. In electrochemical tests, good catalytic activity was found for the oxygen evolution reaction, although a strong dependence on the selected reaction conditions was observed. The surface composition under OER conditions deviates significantly from the bulk composition. No significant benefit of high entropy alloying compared with binary or ternary alloys concerning catalytic OER performance was found.
