Temperature And Pressure Effects

AbstractThe high temperature and pressure effects on the elastic properties of the AgRE (RE=Sc, Tm, Er, Dy, Tb) intermetallic compounds with B2 structure have been performed from first principle calculations. For the temperature range 0-1000 K, the second order elastic constants for all the AgRE intermetallic compounds follow a normal behavior: they decrease with increasing temperature. The pressure dependence of the second order elastic constants has been investigated on the basis of the third order elastic constants. Temperature and pressure dependent elastic anisotropic parameters A have been calculated based on the temperature and pressure dependent elastic constants.

AbstractThe elastic properties of modulated structure materials are presented. An enhanced modulus effect has been observed in several composition modulated thin film systems containing short wavelength modulations.8-10nm. The foils were produced by vapor deposition using two or three source evaporator. As compared with homogeneous foils of the same average composition, the modulated foils exhibited an appreciable increase (up to 300%) in modulus. The dependence of various moduli on the modulation parameters (wavelength, composition and amplitude) are described. The plastic behavior, breaking and microhardness of these foils are also presented as a function of the modulation parameters. Current theories based on electronic and strain effects on the elastic constants of metals are also presented to explain the origin of the supermodulus effect.

Additively manufactured (AM) materials and hot rolled materials are typically orthotropic, and exhibit anisotropic elastic properties. This paper elucidates the anisotropic elastic properties (Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson’s ratio) of Ti6Al4V alloy in four different conditions: three AM (by selective laser melting, SLM, electron beam melting, EBM, and directed energy deposition, DED, processes) and one wrought alloy (for comparison). A specially designed polygon sample allowed measurement of 12 sound wave velocities (SWVs), employing the dynamic pulse-echo ultrasonic technique. In conjunction with the measured density values, these SWVs enabled deriving of the tensor of elastic constants (Cij) and the three-dimensional (3D) Young’s moduli maps. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and micro-computed tomography (μCT) were employed to characterize the grain size and orientation as well as porosity and other defects which could explain the difference in the measured elastic constants of the four materials. All three types of AM materials showed only minor anisotropy. The wrought (hot rolled) alloy exhibited the highest density, virtually pore-free μCT images, and the highest ultrasonic anisotropy and polarity behavior. EBSD analysis revealed that a thin β-phase layer that formed along the elongated grain boundaries caused the ultrasonic polarity behavior. The finding that the elastic properties depend on the manufacturing process and on the angle relative to either the rolling direction or the AM build direction should be taken into account in the design of products. The data reported herein is valuable for materials selection and finite element analyses in mechanical design. The pulse-echo measurement procedure employed in this study may be further adapted and used for quality control of AM materials and parts.

Elastic properties of precipitation-hardened aluminum alloys 2014 and 2219 were studied between 4 and 300 K using ultrasonic pulse techniques. Both the longitudinal and transverse sound velocities were measured. Also reported are the Young’s modulus, shear modulus, bulk modulus, and Poisson’s ratio. For both alloys, the Young’s moduli are about ten percent higher than for unalloyed aluminum, and they increase about ten percent on cooling from 300 to 4 K. All the elastic constants show normal temperature dependence.

Although I am in general agreement with Mr. Swain’s paper, there are several pitfalls inherent in the use of dynamic elastic constants which should not be ignored. The strength of materials and the elastic properties both undoubtedly depend on the rate of loading and/or the stress levels involved. It does not seem appropriate, therefore, to use dynamic in situ elastic properties for static design problems. The specific design problem at hand should determine the relative value placed on the use of static or dynamic elastic constants. The dynamic in situ values are generally more reliable than those obtained in the laboratory as indicated by Mr. Swain, although continued development of the laboratory pulse and critical‐angle method shows promise of improving the reliability of laboratory values.
