Influence of quench rate and microstructure on bendability of AA6016 aluminum alloys

Andreas Mortensen, Andreas Rossoll, Frédéric Diologent, Jean-François Despois, Cyrille Bezençon

The influence of the quench rate after solution treatment on the bendability of AA6016 aluminum alloy sheets was investigated. Crack initiation during bending tests is found to be independent of quench rate whereas crack propagation is decreased after rapi ...

Morphology and Growth Kinetic Advantage of Quenched Twinned Dendrites in Al-Zn Alloys

Michel Rappaz, André Phillion, Mario Alberto Salgado Ordorica

Twinned dendrites appearing in an Al-26 wt pct Zn alloy have been quenched during growth using a specifically designed setup that is positioned on top of a directional solidification experiment. X-ray tomography performed at the Swiss Light Source (SLS-bea ...

The effect of processing parameters on the dynamic recrystallisation behaviour of API-X70 pipeline steel

Cyril Cayron

The effect of deformation temperature and strain rate on the dynamic recrystallisation (DRX) behaviour of X70 pipeline steel was investigated. DRX parameters such as the critical and peak stresses and strains as well as the deformation activation energy we ...

Formation and Properties of Self-Assembly-Driven Fluorescent Nanoparticle Sensors

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei

Fluorescent nanoparticles (FNPs) are obtained in water by self-assembly from a polymeric ionic liquid, fluorescent carboxylate moiety, and a surfactant through two main supramolecular interactions, that is, ionic bonds and hydrophobic/hydrophilic interacti ...

INTERNAL STRESS GENERATION DURING QUENCHING OF THICK HEAT TREATABLE ALUMINIUM ALLOYS

Jean-Marie Drezet, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Patrick Schloth

In the current trend toward thicker aluminium plates, a major concern is the stress build-up during quenching which causes distortions during machining. Indeed, cooling rates are not high enough, especially at the core of such thick plates, to prevent any ...

EDIPO quench detection system: concept and development

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Stephen Alfred March, Giancarlo Croari, Roland Felder

EDIPO is the new 12.5 T superconducting test facility that is being installed at CRPP in Villigen, Switzerland. It will be placed beside the existing test facility SULTAN. The main purpose of both facilities is testing samples for the ITER project. EDIPO w ...

Structural response of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams; experimental investigations on the effects of glass type, reinforcement percentage and beam size

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter

This paper investigates the effects of glass type (annealed, heat-strengthened and fully tempered), reinforcement percentage (hollow section and full section) and beam size (1.5 and 3.2 m) on the structural response of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams. ...

Design of a quench protection system for a coated conductor insert coil

Davide Uglietti

Coated conductors are promising material for the construction of high field magnets, but the slow propagation velocity of the normal zone makes the protection against quenches a critical issue. The quench protection system for a small insert coil under dev ...

Helium-induced hardening effect in ferritic/martensitic steels F82H and Optimax-A irradiated in a mixed spectrum of high energy protons and spallation neutrons

Yong Dai

Ferritic/martensitic (FM) steels, F82H and Optimax-A, were irradiated up to 11.3 dpa/1175 appm He in Target-3 of the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source (SINQ). To investigate helium-induced hardening effect, micro-hardness and microstructure of the irradiated ...

Influence of SiC reinforcement particles on the tribocorrosion behaviour of Al-SiCp FGMs in 0.05M NaCl solution

Stefano Mischler

The main aim of this work was to study and understand the influence of SiC particles on the corrosion and tribocorrosion of Al-matrix composite materials. For that, Al-SiCp functionally graded composites were produced by centrifugal casting and different S ...
