Work hardening behavior and fracture mechanisms of Fe-18Mn-1.3C-2Cr low-density steel castings with varying proportions of aluminum alloying

Zhi-bin Zheng et al.

Summary: The alloying of high-manganese steel with aluminum produces wear-resistant casting components with greater yield strength and significantly reduced density, which facilitate energy-savings and service life extension. However, the strengthening mechanism of Al alloying and its impact on the work hardening behavior of these castings require further investigation.

Effects of cavitation erosion-induced surface damage on the corrosion behaviour of TA31 Ti alloy

Liang Li et al.

Summary: This study utilized electrochemical noise technology to investigate the influence of surface damage induced by cavitation erosion (CE) on the pitting and passivation behaviors of TA31 Ti alloy. The results showed that TA31 Ti alloy had high corrosion resistance in NaCl solutions. However, the passivation ability was reduced due to the residual tensile stress layer formed during grinding and polishing. After 1 hour of CE, the residual tensile stress layer was eliminated and the passivation ability improved, leading to the initiation of pitting corrosion on the material surface. Increasing the CE time from 1 hour to 2 hours gradually decreased the passivation ability of the alloy, promoting the transition from pitting initiation to metastable pitting growth. However, with CE time increasing from 2 hours to 6 hours, the damage mechanism of uniform thinning increased the passivation ability and stability of the alloy.
