Cojocaru V. Dănuţ: Compression behaviour of hitperm alloys at 600oC

Metalurgia International (vol. X), no.3, 2005, p. 3

Over the last decade, nanocrystalline materials were investigated for applications in magnetic devices that require soft magnetic materials (transformers, inductive devices, etc). The benefits of nanocrystalline alloys stem from their chemical and structural variations over nanometer scale which are important for developing optimal magnetic properties. HITPERM-type alloys : Fe–Co–Zr–B–Cu : provide nanocrystalline phases with bcc a’-FeCo (B2) structure.

High induction bulk materials, including HITPERM-type alloys, were investigated,   however  less   attention   has  been  paid  to  the  stability  of nanostructured materials under extreme conditions of pressure and temperature. The main aim of the present work is to study the compressibility of the bcc a’-FeCo (B2) structure under pressures up to 3 GPa for a temperature of 600°C. HITPERM-type alloy powders were prepared by high-energy ball-milling. The evolution of structure parameters was evaluated using synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction.

Florentina Potecaşu, Potecaşu Octavian, Elena Drugescu: aspects concerning the diffusion in metallic composites

Metalurgia International (vol. X), no.3, 2005, p.7

The authors investigated an electroconductive Al-Cu composite, which was obtained through cold extrusion. Extrusion ensures component binding and the formation of the composite itself featuring different properties from those of the component elements and those of the conventional Al-Cu alloys.

The size of this zone changes due to the mass transfer that is obvious in the process of extrusion and heat treatments. These stages provide for the kinetics and  thermodynamics  of  the   interface   processes, therefore they have, an important role in determining the final properties of the composite.

The paper shows the diffusion counter current zone of Cu and Al atoms by the metallographic analysis and using the electronic microsonde.

Ana   Josan,  MAKSAY   Ştefan, Doina   PETRE, Ana  SOCALICI,   Erika ARDELEAN: Studies and researches  for settling the optimal area of chemical composition for cast Adamit-type hypereutectoid steel rolls

Metalurgia International (vol. X), no.3, 2005, p.14

                The paper introduces the results of statistical mathematical processing, by means of the MATLAB calculation program of the data related to 29 rolling cylinders cast at S.C. Siderurgica S.A. Hunedoara, in view of determining the optimal chemical composition domain. For the cylinders under consideration we gave the chemical compositions and the hardnesses we registered. Once the domain of chemical composition has been restricted, important material economy can be obtained, which has a direct impact on the manufacturing price of cylinders cast of Adamit-type steel, thereby reducing the expenses of the company.

Elena Drugescu, Alexandru Petrică: The quenching of low carbon steel thin strips

Metalurgia International (vol. X), no.3, 2005, p. 22

The quenching of low carbon thin strips For plain carbon steels with very low carbon content the usual method for improving the strength is the cold work hardening and the quenching, which are considered an ideal process for this category of alloys. The investigation was oriented to the performance by quenching of packaging and strapping steels. For quenching, three different bath were employed: water, salt-water (5%NaCl) and salt-water (10%NaCl).

Experimental results show that quenching is superior to cold work hardening, as far as the low carbon steels are concerned.

KISS Imre, MAKSAY Stefan: Optimisation model and mathematical modelling in MATLAB area in the case of ductile cast  irons

Metalurgia International (vol. X), no.3, 2005, p. 28

The paper presents the results of some researches regarding the chemical composition of the ductile irons destined for casting semihard rolls. It is presented, in graphical form, using the MATLAB area, the influence of the main alloying elements upon the hardness measured on the necks and on the core.

This paper suggest a mathematical interpretation of the influence of the main alloy elements on mechanical characteristics (the hardness on the necks and   the   core  of  the rolls)  of   this  ductile  irons, resulting   the   average  values  and   average  square errors  of the variables HS, and the main alloying elements (Cr, Ni, Mo), the equations of the hyper surface in the four dimensional space. For the statistical and mathematical analysis, there were used 23 industrial cases. The resulted surfaces, belonging to the three-dimensional space, can be represented and, therefore, interpreted by plant engineers. Knowing these level curves allows the correlation of the values of the two independent variables so that the hardness can be obtained in between the requested limits.

Erika ARDELEAN, Ardelean Marius, Ana  Socalici,  Ana Josan: The effects of operational parameters on secondary solidification of continuous cast semifinished parts

Metalurgia International (vol.X), no.3, 2005, p.35

When cooling the semi-finished parts in the mould, the secondary cooling takes place. During this, the solidification has to be performed on entire cross section of the strand. In order to achieve this, beside a proper primary cooling, the factors that influence the secondary cooling have to be also correlated: the water flow on three areas on the installation, the water pressure in the secondary circuit, etc.

All these have in view a proper solidification length; an intense cooling can generate cracks due to the thermal stresses, while a too slow cooling can generate a partial solidification of the strand up to the cutting machine area.

 The paper shows also the differences that appear during the continuously casting of three different sections: 240x270 mm bloom, Ø 150 mm and Ø 180 mm billet.

Chichernea Florin: Comparative study on static breaking of cast steel part shrink heads-First chapter

 

Metalurgia International (vol.X), no.3, 2005, p. 42

In the laboratories of the Materials Science and Engineering Faculty of the Transilvania University of Brasov a number of theoretical and experimental studies have been conducted on the 3D – modelling of part casting with gating and shrink heads, as well as on the modelling of breaking generating strains.

Ilca Ioan:: Optimisation of the thermal treatment technologies for the cast hypereutectoid steel rolls

Metalurgia International (vol.X), no.3, 2005, p. 48

There are established three alternatives of thermal treatment improvement of adamite rolls in order to obtain several rolling tools at higher quality parameters. The secondary thermal treatment of normalisation followed by tempering ensures the necessary hardness, the structure stabilisation and the stress reduction at minimum as well as physical-mechanical properties of the rolls  that are necessary in the rolling process.
