Effect of Prestraining of Recrystallization Temperature and Mechanical Properties of Commercial, Sintered, Wrought Molybdenum

Given three presumably identical lots of commercial, sintered, wrought molybdenum, the 1-hour recrystallization temperature of one lot remained above 2900 F by limiting the amount of effective restraining to 35 percent or less. Different recrystallization temperatures were obtained in various atmospheres, the highest in argon and the lowest in hydrogen. Metal thus fabricated and then stress-relieved possessed an ultimate tensile strength at room temperature within 10 percent of metal swaged 99 percent and also possessed equivalent ductility. At 1800 F, equivalent strength and ductility was obtained irrespective of the amount of swaging over the range of 10 to 99 percent. The amount of swaging greatly influenced the recrystallized grain size but the difference in grain size is not the major controlling factor which determines whether recrystallized molybdenum is ductile or brittle at room temperature.

Rupture Strength of Several Nickel-base Alloys in Sheet Form

The 100-hour rupture strengths of Inconel X, Inconel 700, Incoloy 901, Refractaloy 26, and R-235 at 1200 and 1350 F. in both the annealed and heat-treated conditions were determined. Inconel 700 had the highest rupture strength at both temperatures; Incoloy 901 was second strongest at 1200 F, and R-235 second strongest at 1350 F. With the exception of Incoloy 901, ductility was low. Photomicrographs show that fractures are through the grain boundaries. Results are compared with published data for other sheet alloys and bar stock.

Influence of Crucible Materials on High-temperature Properties of Vacuum-melted Nickel-chromium-cobalt Alloy

A study of the effect of induction-vacuum-melting procedure on the high-temperature properties of a titanium-and-aluminum-hardened nickel-base alloy revealed that a major variable was the type of ceramic used as a crucible. Reactions between the melt and magnesia or zirconia crucibles apparently increased high-temperature properties by introducing small amounts of boron or zirconium into the melts. Heats melted in alumina crucibles had relatively low rupture life and ductility at 1,600 F and cracked during hot-working as a result of deriving no boron or zirconium from the crucible.

A Study of the "toss Factor" in the Impact Testing of Cermets by the Izod Pendulum Test

The test method presented shows that the "toss energy" contributed by the apparatus for brittle materials is negligible. The total toss energy is considered to consist of two components. (a) recovered stored elastic energy and (b) kinetic energy contributed directly by the apparatus. The results were verified by high-speed motion pictures of the test in operation. From these photographs, velocities of tossed specimens were obtained and toss energy computed. In addition, impact energies of some titanium carbide base cermets and high-temperature alloys, as measured by the low-capacity Izod pendulum test, compare well with impact energies measured by the NACA drop test.

Effect of Overheating on Creep-rupture Properties of S-816 Alloy at 1,500 F

The effects of overheats to temperatures of 1650, 1800, 1900, and 2000 F were evaluated in terms of the changes in creep-rupture characteristics at 1500 F of S-816 alloy under stresses within the range of rupture strengths of the alloy for 100 to 1000 hours. Overheat periods were predominantly of 2-minute duration and were applied cyclically at approximately 5- or 12-hour intervals. The possible damage from overheating was believed to include internal metal structure changes induced by exposure to the higher temperatures and loss of life by creep if stress was present during the overheats.

Abnormal Grain Growth in M-252 and S-816 Alloys

An experimental investigation was carried out on air- and vacuum-melted M-252 and S-816 alloys to find conditions of heating and hot-working which resulted in abnormal grain growth. The experiments were mainly limited to normal conditions of heating for hot-working and heat treatment and normal temperatures of solution treatment were used to allow grain growth after susceptibility to abnormal grain growth was developed by various experimental conditions. Results indicated that small reductions of essentially strain-free metal were the basic cause of such grain growth.

Investigation of Mechanisms of Blade Failure of Forged Hastalloy B and Cast Stellite 21 Turbine Blades in Turbojet Engine

An investigation was conducted to study the mechanisms of blade failure of forged Hastelloy B and cast Stellite 21. The blades were mounted in a 16-25-6 alloy rotor and subjected to 20-minute cycles consisting of 15 minutes at rated speed and approximately 5 minutes at idle. The first failures of the Hastelloy B and Stellite 21 blades were probably the result of excessive vibratory stresses and occurred after 14.25 and 16.75 hours, respectively. After 28.75 hours of operation, all but 3 of the original 25 Hastelloy B blades had either failed or contained stress-rupture-type cracks and four of the original 27 Stellite 21 blades contained stress-rupture-type cracks.

The roles of fluid motion and other transport phenomena in the morphology of materials

Two crystallization problems were studied: the growth of protein crystals, in particular the influence of colloidal forces and convection, and the influence of interface resistance on the growth of dendritic crystals. The protein study involved both experimental and theoretical work; the work of dendrites was entirely theoretical. In the study of protein crystallization, experiments were carried out where crystals were grown in the presence and absence of natural convection. No evidence was found that convection retards crystal growth. The theoretical study focused on the influence of colloidal forces (electrostatic and London-van der Waals) on the interaction between a protein molecule and a flat crystal surface. It was shown that the interaction is extremely sensitive to colloidal forces and that electrostatic interactions play a strong role in deciding whether or not a molecule will find a favorable site for adsorption. In the study of dendritic growth, the role of an interfacial resistance on the selection processes was examined. Using a computational scheme, it was found that the selected velocity is strongly dependent on the magnitude of the interfacial resistance to heat transfer. This is a possible explanation for discrepancies between the theoretical and experimental results on succinonitrile.
