Research paper thumbnail of Factors affecting hydrogen-assisted cracking in a commercial tempered martensitic steel: Mn segregation, MnS, and the stress state around abnormal cracks

Tensile tests were conducted in hydrogen gas with circumferentially-notched specimens of a commercial tempered martensitic steel. Two specimens were exposed to hydrogen gas for 48 h before tensile testing; the other two specimens were not pre-charged. Longitudinal cracks along the loading direction and a transverse crack perpendicular to the loading direction were observed on a cross section of the non-charged specimen, but there was only one small crack on a cross section of the precharged specimen. Electron back scatter diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry and finite element method analyses were applied to clarify the relationships among the longitudinal crack, Mn segregation, microstructures of martensitic steel and hydrogen. As a result, it has been demonstrated that Mn segregation and MnS promote hydrogen-assisted cracking in the tempered martensitic steel, causing the longitudinal cracking which is a mechanically non-preferential direction in homogeneous situations. More specifically, we have shown that the role of the Mn segregation is to promote the hydrogen-enhanced decohesion effect (HEDE), which is particularly important for crack propagation in the present case. These considerations indicate that the presence of Mn is crucially important for hydrogen-assisted cracking associated with hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity (HELP) as well as HEDE.

As soldas foram realizadas em tanque a 0,5m de profundidade por dispositivo de soldagem por gravidade. Foram levantados dados que auxiliem a eleger os consumíveis de melhor desempenho para serem testados em maiores profundidades. Foram realizados os seguintes testes e avaliações: caracterização microestrutural, análise e quantificação das inclusões, composição química do metal de solda, dureza Vickers, hidrogênio difusível e avaliação da soldabilidade. Os resultados obtidos permitem classificar os consumíveis testados em dois grupos com características bem distintas. No primeiro grupo está o único eletrodo do tipo oxidante e no segundo grupo estão os quatro eletrodos do tipo rutílico testados. Quanto às propriedades mecânicas e às car...

During the last decades, this pace has accelerated considerably, despite the general concern with the legacy being left for the next generations. Looking ahead, the predicted growth of the world population, and the improvement of life conditions in most regions, point to an increasing demand for energy generation, resulting in additional pressure on the Earth’s sustainability. Materials have had a key role in decreasing the use of natural resources, by either improving efficiency of existing technologies or enabling the development of radical new ones. The greenhouse effect (CO2 emissions) and the energy crisis are global challenges that can benefit from the development of new materials for the successful implementation of promising technologies and for the imperative replacement of fossil fuels by renewable sources.

Porém, ela apresenta problemas tais como o maior risco de fissuração a frio e de formação acentuada de porosidade. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo melhorar a resistência mecânica do metal de solda de um eletrodo experimental do tipo oxi-rutílico. Foram estudadas as influências de adições de Mo (até 0,4% no metal de solda) na microestrutura e em propriedades mecânicas. As soldas foram realizadas em simulador de soldagem subaquática em profundidade equivalente de 10m utilizando um sistema de soldagem por gravidade. As análises das micrografias mostrou que o aumento do teor de Mo no metal de solda diminui significantemente o tamanho médio de grão da região reaquecida de grãos finos. O aumento do teor de Mo no metal de solda resultou, ainda, em aument...

In some cases, even competitors are invited to take part in the same initiative, making ground to lack of communication and/or loss of interest in the outcome of the research. During the establishment of the Metal/Mechanics network of the RECOPE program, one large step toward the increase of interaction and collaboration was achieved through one sequence of meetings and short courses on project management and team organization. After these steps had been covered, the strategic planning of the network was carried out, producing a significant improvement in the relationship of the participants. The paper will present examples of benefits resulting from such planning and will highlight the limitations so far observed.

It is concluded that the nature of the remarkable shift of thermal expansion properties, that occurs in air, between 350°C and 400°C, where the coefficient of thermal expansion changes from positive to negative is due to dehydration of HZSM-5 and not due to dealumination. The intrinsic thermal expansion properties of dehydrated HZSM-5 are observed in the second cycle of neutron diffraction experiments performed in vacuum ($10 À5 Torr). Near zero thermal expansion was observed in the temperature interval between 100°C and 400°C. These intrinsic thermal properties were rationalized in terms of the rigid unit mode model.
