Accumulative Roll Bonding of Alloy 2205 Duplex Steel and the Accompanying Impacts on Microstructure, Texture, and Mechanical Properties

The mechanical and microstructural evolution of Alloy 2205 during severe plastic deformation is examined in this study. A combination of accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and cold rolling results in the successful formation of a nanograined dual-phase microstructure of austenite and ferrite with some transformed martensite. Severe deformation to cumulative reductions of 80.5, 92.5, 95, and 97 pct were performed. Microscopy indicates that grain dimensions in the sheet normal direction is less than 100 nm for reductions ≥ 92.5 pct. Shear banding is observed at reductions ≥ 95 pct while twinning is only observed at reductions < 92.5 pct. Neutron diffraction measurements indicated the presence of martensite for reductions ≥ 95 pct at ~ 8 pct volume fraction. Taken in conjunction, it appears that during initial ARB processing, both slip and twinning are active plastic mechanisms. As twinning becomes exhausted, martensitic transformation, slip, and intermittent shear banding account for the active plasticity mechanisms. Material hardness saturates at 92.5 pct reduction, with a maximum hardness of 45 HRC. Sub-sized tensile testing confirms this approximate hardness with measurements indicating a UTS of ~ 1440 MPa. Texture analysis of crystal orientation distributions in the plate normal direction suggest an approximate Kurdjumov–Sachs orientation relationship at all reductions above 80 pct indicating stability of the orientation relationship at high strains. The intragranular structure develops a fine scale sub-grain content with increasing deformation, resulting in a continual evolution of texture up to and including 97 pct reduction. The final structure presents strong components of Goss and rotated cube texture in both the austenite and ferrite. In this body of work we aim to compare ARB of an industrially relevant FCC/BCC system (Alloy 2205) to historical model FCC/BCC systems such as Cu/Nb.

Measurement of G-phase volume fraction and number density in duplex stainless steels using transmission electron microscopy

Duplex stainless steels (DSS) have a high toughness and strength due the presence of both austenitic and ferritic phases. These alloys have had limited use in power production applications due to thermal embrittlement caused by spinodal decomposition and development of G-phase precipitates in the ferrite. Lean grade DSS alloys (e.g., 2101, 2003) may offer improved thermal stability due to the reduction of Cr- and Ni-equivalent elements when compared to standard grade compositions (e.g., 2205, 2209). The abundance of the G-phase was measured in five duplex stainless steels, three wrought alloys (2101, 2003, 2205) and their matching filler metals (2101-w, 2209-w), after aging at 427 °C for 1000 h and 10,000 h. The G-phase volume fraction, number density, size, and precipitate spacing were found using quantitative analysis of transmission electron microscopy dark field images and the composition of G-phase precipitates on other clusters were characterized with atom probe tomography (APT). In the welded alloys, the G-phase was found to develop rapidly, relative to the wrought material. A positive correlation was found between the nickel equivalent composition of the alloy and the G-phase volume fraction. The alloys 2205, 2209, and 2101-w, which are higher in Cr and Ni, all showed significant G-phase precipitation, further strengthening the hypothesis that lean grade DSS alloys are more thermally stable against precipitation in the ferrite. Electron diffraction showed a secondary phase present in the 2101 wrought alloy at 10,000 h, but it was not crystallographically consistent with the G-phase; APT showed the presence of nanoclusters rich in both nickel and copper for this alloy. In conclusion, no secondary phases or clusters were found in 2003 after 10,000 h of aging, so it may be a candidate alloy for applications that require long-life times at high operating temperatures.

Elevated-Temperature Tribo-Corrosion Response of Eutectic High-Entropy Alloy

The combination of elevated temperature and tribo-corrosion leads to the accelerated degradation of structural components used in many extreme environments. Recently developed high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with multiple principal elements have the potential for superior degradation resistance compared with presently used structural alloys. Here, we demonstrate the microstructural stability, pitting resistance, and superior tribo-corrosion degradation resistance of the AlCoCrFeNi 2.1 eutectic HEA in comparison with duplex stainless steel 2205 in deionized water (controlled low-ionic-strength electrolyte) at 25 °C, 50 °C and 100 °C. The AlCoCrFeNi 2.1 HEA showed excellent microstructural stability and tribo-corrosion resistance at all three temperatures, an order-of-magnitude lower wear rate, and a lower coefficient of friction compared with duplex 2205 steel. The lowest wear volume loss and wear rate for both AlCoCrFeNi 2.1 and duplex steel were recorded at 50 °C, which was attributed to temperature-assisted passivation and formation of a comparatively stable tribological surface condition. These results suggest superior performance of eutectic HEAs in tribo-corrosion applications compared with currently used dual-phase steels and motivate future evaluation in ion-containing industrial water chemistries.

Corrosion of Stainless and Carbon Steel in Aqueous Piperazine for CO2 Capture

Current obstacles that prevent commercial implementation of amine-scrubbing CO2 capture are the high costs. Reducing capital costs by appropriate selection of construction materials, which requires knowledge of material corrosion performance for the process, will improve the economic feasibility of this technology. Corrosion was evaluated in three pilot plant campaigns using aqueous piperazine with the Advanced Stripper (PZAS). 316L stainless steel (SS) experienced higher corrosion than 304 SS and 2205 duplex SS, and the corrosion rate showed strong dependence on the temperature. 304 and 2205 performed well at all locations and should be good construction materials for PZAS. Degraded PZ exacerbated 316L corrosion, and removal of PZ degradation products using a carbon adsorption bed significantly reduced corrosion. Carbon steel (CS) corrosion showed a weak temperature effect because the corrosion was more dependent on the protective siderite film. The protectiveness of the films was related to fluid velocity. Ni-based alloys corroded in PZ, and the rate increased with temperature. Corrosion of C1010 CS and SS (304, 316L, 430) was measured at absorber and water wash conditions on the bench-scale. Corrosion rate decreases with increasing PZ. 8 With more than 0.003 m PZ in solution, CS has acceptable corrosion performance. Corrosion of CS increases with increasing partial pressure of CO2, suggesting loading is another dominant parameter for carbon steel corrosion. Temperature has a less significant effect than PZ concentration and loading. CS corrosion increases with increasing flow velocity at both absorber and water wash conditions. SS had little corrosion at this lower temperature. Performance of siderite (FeCO3) protective films on CS was studied at representative stripper conditions on the bench-scale. Siderite films can deposit on the surface of CS in CO2-loaded PZ solution at temperatures >100 °C and protect CS from corrosion. The protection may fail in degraded PZ. Ethylenediamine (EDA) is one of the major contributors for the loss of film protectiveness or can be the surrogate for the effect of PZ degradation on siderite film protection. A link between protectiveness and the apparent density of siderite films was discovered. The apparent density of siderite films decreases with increasing flow velocity and decreasing CO2 loading, resulting in higher corrosion of CS.

Analysis of the laser welding keyhole using inline coherent imaging

Laser beam welding is a widely used fusion welding process in many industrial applications such as automotive, aerospace, energy, defense, and medical products. Industry has a fundamental need to model the laser welding process to minimize experimental testing and improve confidence in production welds. However, computational models attempting to predict weld formation are limited by an incomplete understanding of the beam-material interactions. As a consequence, these models do not accurately predict the mechanisms associated with laser weld formation. To improve the current state of prediction capabilities, it is vital to better detect/measure the physical aspects of the weld pool during high energy density welding. In this work, a novel real-time laser weld monitoring device using inline coherent imaging (ICI) was used to provide a fundamental understanding of laser weld formation via vaporization. The objective of this work was to investigate and quantify the relationship relating laser weld parameters and the vapor capillary (keyhole) through a state-of-the-art measurement technique. Bead-on-plate laser beam welds were produced with partial penetration on 304L stainless steel, 2205 duplex stainless steel, and Ti-6Al-4V. Keyhole monitoring was performed using a commercially available ICI system to collect keyhole penetration data in real time. These measurements were reconstructed to generate the vapor capillary shape at different welding parameters. Process parameters significantly influenced the keyhole shape and the keyhole root position relative to the process beam. Finally, the keyhole geometry showed distinct differences between the stainless steel alloys and Ti-6Al-4V.

Effect of thermal aging on corrosion behavior of duplex stainless steels

Abstract Despite their exceptional mechanical and corrosion properties, duplex stainless steels (DSS) have not found widespread use in high-temperature applications due to concerns over thermal aging and embrittlement at elevated operational temperatures (> 300 °C). The present study investigated the effect of thermal aging time on the electrochemical properties of lean and standard grade DSS that are exposed to a range of pressurized water reactors containing LiOH and H 3 BO 3 . The results indicated that the electrolyte chemistry plays a significant role in the corrosion behavior of the DSS alloys. Corrosion resistance decreased with thermal aging time for all DSS alloys; however, standard grade DSS (2205 and 2209-w) alloys showed better corrosion resistance than lean grades (2003, 2101, 2101-w). The presence of dissolved oxygen in the electrolytes resulted in a significant increase in corrosion rate for the DSS alloys, but it did not affect the general trend of corrosion rates with aging time. All DSS alloys became vulnerable to pitting corrosion due to chloride addition, but the pitting resistance decreased with increasing thermal aging time. Increased boron B content resulted in degradation of corrosion resistance of the DSS alloys, while minor changes in pH did not show a significant change in corrosion resistance. Mechanical and metallurgical characterization coupled with electrochemical characterization of the DSS alloys gave a comprehensive insight into the effects of thermal aging on the electrochemical response of the DSS.

Machine learning-assisted ultrafast flash sintering of high-performance and flexible silver–selenide thermoelectric devices

Flexible thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have shown immense potential for serving as a power source for wearable electronics and the Internet of Things. A key challenge preventing large-scale application of TEGs lies in the lack of a high-throughput processing method, which can sinter thermoelectric (TE) materials rapidly while maintaining their high thermoelectric properties. Herein, we integrate high-throughput experimentation and Bayesian optimization (BO) to accelerate the discovery of the optimum sintering conditions of silver–selenide TE films using an ultrafast intense pulsed light (flash) sintering technique. Due to the nature of the high-dimensional optimization problem of flash sintering processes, a Gaussian process regression (GPR) machine learning model is established to rapidly recommend the optimum flash sintering variables based on Bayesian expected improvement. For the first time, an ultrahigh-power factor flexible TE film (a power factor of 2205 μW m -1 K -2 with a zT of 1.1 at 300 K) is demonstrated with a sintering time less than 1.0 second, which is several orders of magnitude shorter than that of conventional thermal sintering techniques. Further, the films also show excellent flexibility with 92% retention of the power factor (PF) after 10 3 bending cycles with a 5 mm bending radius. In addition, a wearable thermoelectric generator based on the flash-sintered films generates a very competitive power density of 0.5 mW cm -2 at a temperature difference of 10 K. This work not only shows the tremendous potential of high-performance and flexible silver–selenide TEGs but also demonstrates a machine learning-assisted flash sintering strategy that could be used for ultrafast, high-throughput and scalable processing of functional materials for a broad range of energy and electronic applications.

Investigation of high temperature fracture of T-111 and ASTAR-811C

The high temperature deformation and fracture behavior of T-111 and ASTAR-811C were studied over the temperature range 982 to 2205 C (1800 to 4000 F). As-cast and wrought-recrystallized material as well as GTA welds in sheet and plate were evaluated using conventional tensile and creep tests. Post test examinations were performed using optical metallography, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. A high temperature region of reduced ductility, in terms of tensile elongation, was identified for both alloys. The reduction in tensile elongation became more severe with increase in grain size, being near catastrophic for the as-cast specimens. Optical and electron metallography indicated that even for failures at very low total strain, considerable deformation of a very localized nature had occurred prior to fracture.

Interstellar dust spectra between 2.5 and 3.3 microns - A search for hydrated silicates

Spectra in the 2.5-3.3 micron wavelength region of VI Cyg 12, AFGL 2205, and AFGL 2885 were obtained in a search for bound water, hydroxyl groups, and hydrated minerals in interstellar dust. No new absorption bands were found. Comparison of expected strengths of bands of serpentine and chlorite-like minerals with the data suggests that less than 25 percent and 50 percent, respectively, of the silicate in the grains is composed of these materials.

Study of metal corrosion using ac impedance techniques in the STS launch environment

AC impedance measurements were performed to investigate the corrosion resistance of 19 alloys under conditions similar to the STS launch environment. The alloys were: Zirconium 702, Hastelloy C-22, Inconel 625, Hastelloy C-276, Hastelloy C-4, Inconel 600, 7Mo + N, Ferralium 255, Inco Alloy G-3, 20Cb-3, SS 904L, Inconel 825, SS 304LN, SS 316L, SS 317L, ES 2205, SS 304L, Hastelloy B-2, and Monel 400. AC impedance data were gathered for each alloy after one hour immersion time in each of the following three electrolyte solutions: 3.55 percent NaCl, 3.55 percent NaCl-0.1N HCl, and 3.55 percent NaCl-1.0N HCl. The data were analyzed qualitatively using the Nyquist plot and quantitatively using the Bode plot. Polarization resistance, Rp, values were obtained using the Bode plot. Zirconium 702 was the most corrosion resistant alloy in the three electrolytes. The ordering of the other alloys according the their resistance to corrosion varied as the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the electrolyte increased. The corrosion resistance of Zirconium 702 and Ferralium 255 increased as the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the electrolyte increased. The corrosion resistance of the other 17 alloys decreased as the concentration of the hyrdochloric acid in the electrolyte increased.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of metal alloys in the space transportation system launch environment

AC impedance measurements were performed to investigate the corrosion resistance of 18 alloys under conditions similar to the Space Transportation System (STS) launch environment. The alloys were: (1) zirconium 702; (2) Hastelloy C-22, C-276, C-4, and B-2; (3) Inconel 600 and 825; (4) Ferralium 255; (5) Inco Alloy G-3; (6) 20Cb-3; (7) SS 904L, 304LN, 316L, 317L, and 304L; (8) ES 2205; and (9) Monel 400. AC impedance data were gathered for each alloy at various immersion times in 3.55 percent NaCl-0.1N HCl. Polarization resistance values were obtained for the Nyguist plots at each immersion time using the EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT software package available with the 388 electrochemical impedance software. Hastelloy C-22 showed the highest overall values for polarization resistance while Monel 400 and Inconel 600 had the lowest overall values. There was good general correlation between the corrosion performance of the alloys at the beach corrosion testing site, and the expected rate of corrosion as predicted based on the polarization resistance values obtained. The data indicate that electrochemical impedance spectroscopy can be used to predict the corrosion performance of metal alloys.
