Structure-property relationships in thermomechanically treated beryllia dispersed nickel alloys

BeO dispersed nickel alloys, produced by powder metallurgy techniques, were studied extensively in stress rupture at 815, 982, and 1093 C (1088, 1255, and 1366 K) and by transmission electron microscopy. The alloys were subjected to a variety of thermomechanical treatments (TMT) to determine the benefits of TMT on properties. It is shown that the use of intermediate annealing treatments after 10 pct reduction steps is highly beneficial on both low and high temperature properties. It is indicated that the high temperature strength is not primarily dependent on the grain aspect ratio or texture but depends strongly on the dislocation density and distribution of dislocations in a stable substructure which is pinned by the fine oxide dispersion.

Determination of the gaseous hydrogen ductile-brittle transition in copper-nickel alloys

A series of copper-nickel alloys were fabricated, notched tensile specimens machined for each alloy, and the specimens tested in 34.5 MPa hydrogen and in air. A notched tensile ratio was determined for each alloy and the hydrogen environment embrittlement (HEE) determined for the alloys of 47.7 weight percent nickel to 73.5 weight percent nickel. Stacking fault probability and stacking fault energies were determined for each alloy using the x ray diffraction line shift and line profiles technique. Hydrogen environment embrittlement was determined to be influenced by stacking fault energies; however, the correlation is believed to be indirect and only partially responsible for the HEE behavior of these alloys.

The role of nickel content and the magnetic remanence in iron-nickel alloys of lunar composition

Lunar samples are magnetic primarily due to the body centered cubic (BCC) iron and iron-nickel alloys they contain. Presented for the first time are results which demonstrate that the magnitude of the martensitic thermal remanence (MTRM) induced on quenching iron-nickel alloy in the geomagnetic field depends on the nickel content of the alloy. High magnetic stability is due to the increasing dislocation density and increasingly complex microstructures associated with increasing nickel content in the alloys. The results agree with the mechanical and structural properties of the alloys. The characteristic quench martensite microstructure observed on metallographic examination provides a recognition criterion for the MTRM mechanism. These results are important for lunar and meteoritic research intending to ascertain the paleofield responsible for the observed remanent magnetization.-

Microfissuring in Electron-Beam-Welded Nickel Alloy

Mathematical model developed for microfissuring of commercial nickel alloy during electron-beam welding. Number of measured microfissures per unit length of weld plotted against excess power calculated by computer model. Excess power that above level likely to produce microfissures. In agreement with model, measured microfissures increase at rate of 4.5 per inch (1.8 per centimeter) per excess kilowatt.

Remanent magnetization and structural effects due to shock in natural and man-made iron-nickel alloys

Explosive shock or meteorite impact are significant remagnetization processes. The mechanisms of remagnetization associated with the dynamic processes depend on the peak shock pressure, the nature of the shocked materials, and the behavior of the shock in the material. Magnetic measurements can be used to classify products formed during a shock process, and magnetic measurements can be used to investigate the process itself because of the special characteristics of the remanent magnetization vectors. The magnetic coercive force increases more rapidly in quenched and annealed iron-nickel alloys as nickel is added than it does in the alloys which have been shocked.

Joining of Nickel and Nickel-Base Alloys

Nickel and nickel- base alloys are amenable to joining with many of the familiar joining processes. Some new joining processes also have been used successfully. In general, conventional joining procedures are used with only slight required modifications, depend­ing on the particular alloy to be welded. However, some special precautions must be taken. Harmful materials must be removed from the joint or surrounding areas or they may damage the weld and the nearby heated parent metal. Some high-strength age­ hardenable alloys are prone to cracking in or near joint areas, unless the material is in the proper condition of heat treatment prior to joining operations. Foreign material and flux residues left from joining operations can cause trouble in subsequent service if not removed. Procedures for joining these alloys have been developed that eliminate or minimize the usual difficulties that have been experienced. When proper procedures are employed, joining of nickel and nickel- base alloys can be performed satisfactorily.
