Understanding the interaction of sea ice with offshore structures is of primary importance for the development of technology in cold climate regions. The rheological properties of sea ice (strength, creep, viscosity) as well as the roughness of the contact surface are the main factors influencing the type of interaction with a structure. A device was developed and designed and small scale laboratory experiments were carried out to study sea ice frictional interaction with steel material by means of a uniaxial compression rig. Sea-ice was artificially grown between a stainless steel piston (of circular cross section) and a hollow cylinder of the same material, coaxial to the former and of the same surface roughness. Three different values for the roughness were tested: 1.2, 10 and 30 μm Ry (maximum asperities height), chosen as representative values for typical surface conditions, from smooth to normally corroded steel. Creep tests (0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.6 kN) were conducted at T = -10 ºC. By pushing the piston head towards the cylinder base, three different types of relative movement were observed: 1) the piston slid through the ice, 2) the piston slid through the ice and the ice slid on the surface of the outer cylinder, 3) the ice slid only on the cylinder surface. A cyclic stick-slip motion of the piston was detected with a representative frequency of 0.1 Hz. The ratio of the mean rate of axial displacement to the frequency of the stick-slip oscillations was found to be comparable to the roughness length (Sm). The roughness is the most influential parameter affecting the amplitude of the oscillations, while the load has a relevant influence on the their frequency. Guidelines for further investigations were recommended. Marco Nanetti - seloselo@virgilio.it

AlSi10Mg alloy is one of the most widely used alloys for producing structural components by Laser-based Powder Fusion (L-PBF) technology due to the high mechanical and technological properties. The present work aims to characterize mechanically and tribologically the L-PBF AlSi10Mg alloy subjected to both heat treatment and surface modification cycles. Specifically, the effects of three heat treatments on the tribological and mechanical properties of the alloy were analyzed: T5 (artificial aging at 160 °C for 4 h), T6 rapid solution heat treatment (solution heat treatment at 510 °C for 1h and aging at 160 °C for 6 h), and T6 benchmark (solution heat treatment at 540 °C for 1h and aging at 160 °C for 4 h), the latter used as a benchmark. The study highlighted how the better balance between strength and ductility properties induced by the introduction of heat treatments leads to lower wear resistance and not significant variations in the friction coefficient of the alloy. The tribological and mechanical behavior of the alloy coated with two different coating structures, consisting of (i) chemical Ni (Ni-P) and (ii) Ni-P + DLC, was also evaluated. The goal was the identification of a deposition cycle such as to guarantee the optimization of the mechanical and tribological behavior of the alloy. The Ni-P coating provided good wear resistance but an increase in the coefficient of friction. In contrast, using the DLC top coating resulted in excellent tribological performance in wear resistance and friction coefficient. The samples characterized by the Ni-P + DLC multilayer coating were subsequently subjected to mechanical characterization. The results obtained highlighted problems of adhesion and incipient breaking of the material due to the different mechanical behavior of the coating, considerably reducing the mechanical performance of the alloy coated with Ni-P+DLC multilayer solution compared to the specimens in the un-coated condition.

Studio della caratterizzazione micromeccanica di provini in alluminio 6082 T6 saldati con la tecnica della rotary friction welding, tecnica innovativa nell’ambito delle tecnologie di giunzione solida, che sfrutta il principio della saldatura per attrito. Dopo un'introduzione teorica sulle principali tematiche affrontate e sui principali sistemi di misura usati, verranno effettuate micrografie dei giunti e prove di microdurezza sugli stessi. Si termina riportando i grafici delle microdurezze trovate, in modo da poter confrontare i risultati ottenuti con le caratteristiche del materiale base. Da questi si osserva che: nonostante la qualità accettabile dei giunti, le elevate temperature raggiunte durante la saldatura hanno alterato il trattamento termico del materiale base, che da T6 assume caratteristiche più simili a un T4. In altre parole il materiale saldato presenta caratteristiche micromeccaniche inferiori a quelle nominalmente assegnabili al materiale base.

Il presente lavoro di tesi si pone come obiettivo la caratterizzazione microstrutturale di una serie di giunti realizzati tramite un innovativo processo di saldatura allo stato solido denominato Rotary Friction Welding. In tale ricerca si descrive il percorso seguito per arrivare a tale caratterizzazione partendo da una discussione delle principali tecniche di saldatura, in particolare quelle per attrito, per passare poi ad un’analisi dettagliata della fase di creazione dei giunti saldati e della successiva fase dedicata alla verifica microstrutturale. I risultati ottenuti, ci forniranno indici di confronto sulla qualità del materiale, sui processi tecnologici, sui trattamenti e su alcune fondamentali proprietà meccaniche

Nel seguente elaborato si propone lo sviluppo di un modello agli elementi finiti (FEM) del processo di friction welding del quale, attraverso i dati rilevati da prove sperimentali di validazione termica, vengono valutati i parametri ottimali di simulazione. Ai risultati così ottenuti vengono applicati anche algoritmi per la valutazione della microstruttura e della qualità della saldatura, sviluppati originariamente per l'analisi dell'estrusione: in entrambi i casi a seguito del confronto con le analisi metallografiche dei provini è stato possibile validare ulteriormente il modello creato.
