  2. 1. Toughness of Tool Steel

    Author : Henrik Jesperson; Håkan Engqvist; Birger Karlsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Toughness; Tool Steel; Heat Treatment; Temperature; Energy absorption; Impact Testing; Fracture Toughness Testing; Non-metallic Inclusions; Carbides; Nitrides; Statistics; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot materialvetenskap; Engineering Science with specialization in Materials Science;

    Abstract : Toughness is the ability to resist tensile stresses in the presence of a notch or crack. Sometimes gross cracking of industrial tools, mould or dies, occurs due to insufficient toughness. As the economic consequences of the gross cracking are serious, the toughness of industrial tool material, generally tool steel, is of paramount importance. READ MORE

  4. 2. Toughness enhancement in transition metal nitrides

    Author : Davide Giuseppe Sangiovanni; Valeriu Chirita; Lars Hultman; Sergey Simak; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cubic; transition metal nitrides; mechanical properties; ab initio; dft; toughness; ductility; electronic structure; Condensed matter physics; Kondenserade materiens fysik;

    Abstract : Toughness enhancements can be induced in cubic-B1 transition metal nitride alloys by an increased occupation of the d-t2g metallic states. In this Licentiate Thesis I use density functional theory to investigate the mechanical properties of TiN and VN and of the ternaries obtained by replacing 50% of Ti and V atoms with M (M = V, Nb, Ta, Mo, and W) to form ordered structures with minimum number of inter-metallic bonds.

  5. 3. Modelling of fracture toughness using peridynamics : A Study of J-integral, essential work and homogenisation

    Author : Christer Stenström; Pär Jonsén; Kjell Eriksson; Ugo Galvanetto; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Peridynamics; J-integral; Essential work of fracture; Nonlocal methods; Meshless; Meshfree; Fracture; Crack tip; Exact analytical; Center cracked tension; Double edge notched tensile; fracture toughness; Peridynamik; Brottmekanik; Sprickspets; Brottseghet; Spänningsintensitet; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Fracture toughness is one of the most important properties of a material. Being able toaccurately estimate the energy that goes into forming new crack surfaces is essential for the development of new materials, quality assurance, structural monitoring and failure analysis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Fracture toughness properties of duplex stainless steels

    Author : Henrik Sieurin; Rolf Sandström; Jan-Olof Nilsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; duplex stainless steel; fracture toughness; austenite reformation; sigma phase; material optimisation; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Good toughness properties in base and weld material enable the use of duplex stainless steels (DSS) in critical applications. DSS offer high strength compared to common austenitic stainless steels. READ MORE
