A STUDY OF THE DUPLEX YIELD CHARACTER OF DUAL PHASE STEEL

In this paper, the duplex yield character (DYC) of dualphase steel has been discussed. The results of the tests show that the DYC is due to the martensite deformation from the elastic state to the plastic state and the microvoid formed from the interphase boundaries. The DYC is directly affected by the phase ratio and the shape of structure. According to the different deformation character of the duplex phase, the uniform deformation of dual phase steel divide into three stages.

Finally, this paper gives an overall comment on the application future of using the steel fibres in every kinds of joint of anti-seismic reinforced concrete frame.     

A RESEARCH OF THE INFLUNCE OF RARE-EARTH ELEMENT ON THE THERMAL FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF CAST IRON

It is known that cylinder heads, exhaust manifoids, ingot molds, etc. are often failed resulting from thermal fatigue. For this reason, the influence of RE on the thermal fatigue behavior of cast iron was studied by measn of a thermal fatigue test unit with completely constrained strain developed by ourselves. The test results shown that RE can improve the thermal fatigue resistance of cast iron greatly when residual RE contents surpass a critical value. This value is 0.04-0.045% for light Rare-Earth, and 0.045-0.05%; for heavy Rare-Earth. Further more, the relationship between RE and the thermophysical and mechanical properties of cast iron which have influence on thermal fatigue resisteance was also discussed.     

THE STUDY FOR LARGE INCLUSIONS OF STAINLESS STEEL (1Crl8Ni9Ti) DURING CONTINUOUS CASTING

This paper presents the process of stainless steel ( 1Crl8Ni9Ti) in continuous casting,the components and their shapes,origins and distributions of the large inclusions existing in the steel,as well as the influence on its quality. By the observation through a microscope,the structural analysis adopting x-ray examinating instrument and the measunement for the microzone of billet employing the electronic probe.it has been found that the large inclusions of continuous billet mainly originate from the slag-sweeping of the tundisy and mold. There are mostly spherical-slag in addition to Ti(C.N) in the inclusions. The calculations in theory point out that the siO2in the slag can' t change Ti(C,N) into TiO2,however,it can assimilate with Ti(C.N). The large inclusions affect the quality of the steel plate and tube greatly. As a result,this paper proposes the measures of reducing the large inclusions in the steel.     

THE STUDY OF DELAMINATION IN THE STRUCTURAL STEELS

The influence of temperature and stress state on delamination in the pipe-line steel has been studied by tensile tests at different temperature and stress states. It is found that the' delamination always takes place along the centerline segregation band in pipe-line steel produced by continuous casting and then controlled rolling. At room temperature, the delamination appears to be caused by micrbvoid nucleation and coalecence. And the delamination appears to be caused by the cleavage cracking along (100) plane at low temperatur.e. The best way to eliminate the delamination is to reduce the degree of centerline segregation.

DETERMING THE RELIABILITY OF A MEMBER WITH CRACK ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION FROM FLAW-DETECTION WITH ULTRASONIC WAVE

Using the flaw-detecting with ultrasonic wave one may know the equivalant area of a crack that burys in the member. If the crack is ellipse shaped, the equivalant area is constant, and the distribution function of its major semiaxle and the plane strain fracture toughness of the material are given, then we would get the probability of reliability of the member under the uniform tension. In this condition, a formula of calculating the probability would be provided in this paper. Because a simple and enough precise approximate function has been introduced the formula in the paper is simple in shape and easy to use.

This paper is aimed at investigating the acoustic properties of rock mass under the three-dimentional different stress states, and is presented to discuss emphatically the characteristics of the acoustic wave propagation and the stress-velocity relation in both rocks (sandstone and limestone) under uniaxial and true triaxial compression. The results indicate three regions in which the acoustic velocities and the strains change with the stresses are approximately similar under different stress states; and the acoustic velocity-stress relations for elastic rocks may be represented by different interdependence coefficients under uniaxial compression. At a time, The acoustic measurement method of rock mass stresses and the horizontal tectonic stress are discussed.
