The surface-normal impact velocity distributions, impact frequencies and impact power per unit area were measured using a force sensor in a vibratory finisher for two types of spherical media. These parameters control the degree, rate and character of plastic deformation of a workpiece surface in vibratory finishing. The force sensor was also used to quantify the effect of media type, finisher amplitude, and location within the finisher on the probability distribution of the particle impact velocity normal to the workpiece. It was found that reducing the total media mass in the finisher and moving closer to the wall resulted in a more aggressive process. It was also found that contacts occured periodically within time periods that corresponded to the finisher’s driving frequency. The Almen system was adapted to a vibratory finishing process to characterize the effect of varying process parameters for the purposes of process development and control. Saturation curves for two types of aluminum Almen strips were obtained by finishing at two distinct conditions. Comparison with the normal contact forces and effective impact velocities, measured for both these conditions, provided insight into the mechanics of the vibratory finishing process. An electromagnetic apparatus was constructed to simulate the normal impacts in the vibratory finisher. It was found that surface-normal impacts at velocities comparable to the higher range in the vibratory finisher produced Almen saturation curves similar to those created in the vibratory finisher. This provided support for the modeling approximation of treating all contact events in a vibratory finisher as effective surface-normal impacts, and the accuracy of the effective impact velocity measurement. A model of the process by which Almen strips were plastically deformed by media impacts in vibratory finishing was presented. The motivation was to extend the use of Almen strip measurements as a means of characterizing vibratory finishing through an improved understanding of the process parameters that controlled time-dependent curvature development. Two thicknesses of Almen strip were tested for two finishing conditions. The quantitative agreement between the model saturation curves and the experimental curves was fair, although the overall trends were predicted very well.

A comprehensive three dimensional coupled thermo-mechanical finite element study is performed on turbine blade attachments in gas turbine engines. The effects of the self-generated centrifugal forces of the disc and the associated blades, thermal loads, and shot peening residual are all considered in this thesis. Three aspects of the work were accordingly examined. The first was concerned with the coupled thermo-mechanical stress analysis and load sharing between the teeth of the fir-tree root. The second was devoted to the development of a complete model incorporating the effect of shot peening residual stresses upon the developed stress state. The effectiveness of shot peening treatment in response to cyclic thermo-mechanical loadings at the contact interface has also been studied. The third was concerned with the validation of some aspects of the developed models analytically using closed form solutions and experimentally using photoelasticity.

A análise desse comportamento é extremamente necessária, pois as peças de aeronaves sofrem esforços cíclicos e são expostas ao ambiente corrosivo, que além de reduzir o ciclo de vida, são também prejudiciais à segurança de voo. Em função disso os materiais devem ter boa resistência à fadiga e à corrosão. Para melhorar essas propriedades são aplicados os processos de Shot-Peening e anodização, contudo é essencial que os parâmetros e materiais sejam estudados e ensaiados a fim de se obter um resultado efetivo. Em vista disso, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo avaliar a influência do Shot-Peening e da anodização crômica na resistência à fadiga do alumínio 7475-T7351. O ensaio de fadiga foi realizado com carga axial, frequência de 20 Hz e razão de carga 0,1. A intensidade Almen foi de 0.006 A - 0.010 A e as esferas do jateamento foram de aço. Os resultados dos ensaios das amostras com Shot-Peening seguido de anodização crômica apresentaram redução na resistência à fadiga. Essa redução foi atribuída às tensões residuais de tração e as características da camada de óxido geradas pela anodização e aos parâmetros do Shot-Peening que não induziu tensão residual de compressão o suficiente para retardar a propagação das trincas. O aumento da rugosidade, que é inerente ao processo de Shot-Peening, trabalhou como concentrador de tensão na superfície, intensificando a nucleação e propagação das trincas. No entanto, para as baixas tensões o Shot-Peening minimizou o efeito negativo causado pela anodização crômica. Com isso é possível afirmar que é primordial testar os materiais com diferentes parâmetros de Shot-Peening e avaliar seus efeitos para coletar uma base consolidada e evitar acidentes decorrentes de falha prematura de fadiga. / The influence of Shot-Peening and anodization on the fatigue strength has been studied over the years because these processes are broadly used in industries, especially in aeronautics. The analysis of this behavior is extremely necessary due the cyclic loading of the parts and exposure to corrosive environment, which in addition to reducing the life cycle of an aircraft are also detrimental to flight safety. Due to this, the materials must have good fatigue strength and corrosion resistance. To improve these properties, the Shot-Peening and anodization processes are applied, however it is essential that the parameters and materials be studied and tested in order to obtain an effective result. Therefore, this research has the objective of evaluating the influence of Shot-Peening and chromic anodization on the fatigue strength of 7475-T7351 aluminum alloy. The fatigue test was performed with axial load, frequency of 20 Hz and load ratio 0.1. The Almen intensity was 0.006 A - 0.010 A and the material of spheres was steel. The results of the Shot-Peening specimens followed by chromic anodization treatment show a reduction of the fatigue strength. This reduction is due to residual tensile stress and the characteristics of the oxide layer generated by the anodization treatment and to the Shot-Peening parameters that did not induce residual compression stress enough to delay the crack propagation. The increased roughness, which is inherent in the process, has worked as a stress concentrator on the surface, enhancing the nucleation and propagation of cracks. However, for the low tensions the Shot-Peening minimizes the negative effect caused by the chromic anodization treatment. Therefore, it is possible to affirm that it is essential to test the materials with different parameters of Shot-Peening and evaluate its effects to collect a consolidated base and avoid accidents due to premature fatigue failure.

No. of bitstreams: 0 / Atualmente, quando se tem a necessidade de nitretar peças produzidas pela metalurgia do pó, usa-se a nitretação a plasma. Apesar de ser um processo de alto custo, com diversas dificuldades operacionais e de ajuste de processo, a nitretação a plasma é o único processo viável para nitretar esses materiais por ter uma ação apenas superficial, não apresentando ação nitretante no interior dos poros. Nos processos de nitretação a gás e banho de sais, o meio nitretante penetra na porosidade (interconectada) dos materiais sinterizados, havendo assim a formação de camada branca em uma grande profundidade da peça (ou mesmo na peça toda), gerando problemas de deformação e fragilização do componente. Este trabalho teve por objetivo a aplicação do processo shot peening em peças sinterizadas com a finalidade de fechar a porosidade superficial das peças e estudar seu comportamento sob o processo de nitretação a gás. O estudo verifica que o material sinterizado submetido à nitretação gasosa permitiu a entrada do meio nitretante pelos poros abertos e interconectados promovendo a formação de camada branca no interior dos poros de praticamente todo o volume da peça. Essa camada branca no interior do material fragiliza o componente e inviabiliza sua utilização como componente em praticamente qualquer aplicação industrial. As peças sinterizadas jateadas com granalhas de aço antes da nitretação também permitiram o acesso do meio nitretante no interior do componente, porém, sem potencial suficiente para a formação de camada branca. As amostras jateadas apresentaram apenas agulhas de nitretos formados durante a nitretação. / Dissertacao (Mestrado) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP
