Este trabalho teve por objetivo estudar o efeito dos parâmetros de corte e dos tratamentos térmicos na usinagem de três aços inoxidáveis austeníticos (ABNT 303, 304 e 310). Estes aços apresentam mesma estrutura cristalina e microestrutura semelhante. O aço ABNT 303 tem composição próxima ao ABNT 304, exceto pelo elevado teor de enxofre. Já o aço ABNT 310 apresenta maiores teores de elementos de ligas. Esses materiais foram tratados termicamente (solubilização ou envelhecimento). Os aços estudados foram caracterizados microestruturalmente e foram realizadas medidas de dureza Vickers. Os aços foram então torneados em várias condições de usinagem, variando principalmente a relação avanço por profundidade de corte. Foram medidas as forças de corte e de avanço em algumas das condições e coletados os cavacos resultantes para análise morfológica, que foram realizadas utilizando-se principalmente microscopia óptica e eletrônica de varredura. Foram também medidas as rugosidades e determinados os perfis das superfícies usinadas para a avaliação do acabamento superficial. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho permitiram determinar algumas diferenças no comportamento dos três aços inoxidáveis estudados. As maiores diferenças foram verificadas quando as superfícies foram observadas utilizando microscopia. O aço ABNT 303 apresentou as piores superfícies e os menores esforços de corte em relação aos aços ABNT 304 e 310. A utilização de diferentes ferramentas neste trabalho mostrou influência principalmente na formação do cavaco, não tendo muita influencia nos esforços de corte e tão pouco no acabamento superficial. Os tratamentos térmicos realizados propiciaram a formação de outras fases, as quais causaram alterações na microestrutura. No entanto, esses tratamentos térmicos não alteraram de forma significativa o processo de torneamento. Finalmente, a formação de martensitas induzidas por deformação foi identificada no cavaco, mas não pode ser quantificada. / The main objective of this work is to study and evaluate the effect of cutting parameters, the cutting tool and the heat treatments in the turning process of three different types of austenitic stainless steels (ABNT 303, 304 e 310). The steels studied are structurally and microstructurally comparable. The chemical composition of the ABNT 303 and the ABNT 304 is similar except for the presence of sulfur in the ABNT 303 steel which alloeds the manganese sulfide formation. On the other hand, the ABNT 310 steel is richer in alloying elements and has lower tendency to strain induced martensite formation than the other steels studied. The steels studied were also heat treated in different conditions (annealed and aged). The materials were microstructurally characterized and Vickers hardness was also measured. The turning tests were carried out by using different cutting parameters, mainly the feedcutting depth relations. These relations lead to a plane state of tension or a plane state of deformation. The cutting and feed forces were measured during turning tests. During the tests the chips were also collected for morphological analysis through optical and scanning electron microscopies. The roughness and the surfaces characteristics were also determined to evaluate the surface finishing. The major difference in the steels turned was related to surface finishing observed by using optical and scanning electron microscopies. On the whole, the ABNT 303 steel presented the worst surface and the lowest cutting forces. However, the differences among all results were not significant. The tests carried out also showed there was not considerable difference between the tools used except for the chip morphology. The heat treatments led to precipitation in the steels studied and changes in their microstructure. However, the microstructural changes hardly affected the results of the turning tests. Finally, the martensite formation was detected although this phase could be not quantified.

The main objective of present diploma thesis is to prepare three different classes of steels, differing by their content of chromium: 9Cr, 14Cr, 17Cr steels and their oxide dispersion strengthened variants. Steels were prepared from atomic and pre-alloyed powders by the mechanical alloying and compacted by the spark plasma sintering method. Used strengthening elements were yttrium, which is most commonly used, and aluminium. Preparation of oxide dispersion was done in two ways: direct adding of yttria and alumina and inner oxidation of aluminium and yttrium. In the experimental part has been found, that it is possible to make oxide dispersion by both ways, but aluminium strengthened steel has to be prepared by inner oxidation to ensure fine oxide dispersion.

This thesis is focused on laser welding and hybrid laser-TIG welding. The first part contains a brief theoretical description of these technologies. Standard quality and plasticity tests of welded joint are also mentioned. The second, experimental part, centres on the study of plasticity of tailored blanks (made of different types of HSLA steel), that are welded with laser and laser-TIG technology. The aim of the thesis is to assess process parameters effect on weld suitability for following deep drawning operation. Based on the calculated and measured figures obtained from the experiment, the most suitable welding parameters were chosen.

Based on study of documents supplied by PWO Unitools a.s. and on advices of design office staff, tool for forming flanges was designed. This tool was then manufactured and it has been used for carrying test of creating flanges of various diameters from high-strength steels. During these tests, the following parameters were optimized – force of upper and lower blank holder and the height of the main guides. Threads were created into these drown flanges. These threaded joins were later tested for maximum torque and maximum compressive strength.

In dieser Arbeit wurde die durch Bestrahlung mit schnellen Neutronen bedingte Materialalterung von Reaktordruckbehälterstählen untersucht. Das Probenmaterial umfasste unbestrahlte, bestrahlte und ausgeheilte RDB-Stähle russischer und westlicher Reaktoren sowie Eisenbasis-Modelllegierungen. Mittels Neutronen-Kleinwinkelstreuung ließen sich bestrahlungsinduzierte Leerstellen/Fremdatom-Cluster unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung mit mittlerem Radius um 1.0 nm nachweisen. Ihr Volumenanteil steigt mit der Strahlenbelastung monoton, aber im allgemeinen nicht linear an. Der Einfluss der Elemente Cu, Ni und P auf den Prozess der Clusterbildung konnte herausgearbeitet werden. Eine Wärmebehandlung oberhalb der Bestrahlungstemperatur reduziert den Anteil der Strahlendefekte bis hin zu deren vollständiger Auflösung. Die Änderungen der mechanischen Eigenschaften der Werkstoffe lassen sich eindeutig auf die beobachteten Gefügemodifikationen zurückführen. Die abgeleiteten Korrelationen können als Hilfsmittel zur Vorhersage des Materialverhaltens bei fortgeschrittener Betriebsdauer von Leistungsreaktoren mit herangezogen werden.

The last seven hot rolling passes of the ferritic stainless steels (FSS) AISI 430 and AISI 433 (the latter an Al-added variant of 430) were simulated on Gleeble-1500D® and Gleeble-3800TM® thermo-mechanical simulators to investigate the effect of temperature, strain rate and inter-pass time on the development of texture in these steel grades and its subsequent influence on ridging. The compression tests were carried out over a wide range of strain rates (0.1 s-1 to 5 s-1, 25 s-1 and 50 s-1) and temperatures (1100 to 820 oC) with different inter-pass times (2 s, 10 s, 20 s and 30 s). The transition temperature from dynamic recrystallization (which may introduce a texture change) to dynamic recovery (in which no texture changes are expected) was determined by examining the relationship between the mean flow stress and the deformation temperature in multi-pass tests. Both macrotexture (XRD) and microtexture (EBSD) analyses were employed to characterise and study the texture present in these steels. It was found that the texture in the central layer of the compressed sample is a strong recrystallization-type. The through-thickness textural and microstructural banding was found to be responsible for ridging in these grades of stainless steels. Dynamic recrystallization which promotes the formation of the desired ã-fibre texture leading to high ductility, formability and eventually reduction or elimination of ridging, was found to occur in both AISI 430 and AISI 433 at high temperatures, low strain rates and longer inter-pass times with multi-pass testing. Generally AISI 433 has a stronger gamma texture developed than the AISI 430 when hot rolled under similar conditions, which leads to improved ductility and less ridging in AISI 433 than AISI 430. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering / unrestricted
