Estudo da fluência dos aços inoxidáveis ferríticos estabilizados ao titânio e nióbio e simulação numérica do processo no abaqus

The purpose of this research was tested a finite element model (FEM) that represented the creep of a slab during the reheating process of hot rolling. The aim is to prevent creep phenomenon changing the reheating profile with hot tensile test in Gleeble 3500, and, also, understand the former defect crisis. The goal of this work is to have a predictive tool to optimize the reheating process changing parameters (length and thickness). Then, use input parameters obtained from the tests to approximate the solution of the problem aided by Abaqus CAE. The results have showed that the ferritic stainless steel AISI 409 has a lower sensitivity to creep comparing to the stainless steel AISI 409, AISI 430Ti, AISI 441 and AISI 444

Modificação da superfície do titânio e de sua liga Ti-6Al-4V por recobrimento com TiO2 e hidroxiapatita

In this work, the influence of modifications of the cp-Ti and Ti 6Al 4V alloy, by treating the surface with NaOH and depositing titanium oxide and hydroxyapatite by sol-gel method, on their biocompatibility was studied. The coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction which showed that the coatings on Ti 6Al 4V are better than on cp-Ti.

Desenvolvimento de formulações multifuncionais líquido cristalinas contendo nanopartículas de dióxido de titânio e alfa-tocoferol

A destruição da camada de ozônio resulta em um preocupante aumento na incidência de radiação ultravioleta (UV) na superfície da Terra, radiação esta, responsável pela ocorrência de danos na pele e pelo aparecimento do câncer de pele, tipo mais comum de câncer. Assim, neste trabalho foram desenvolvidos sistemas líquido-cristalinos multifuncionais contendo nanopartículas de dióxido de titânio, cuja propriedade fotoprotetora é bem conhecida, e alfa-tocoferol, um composto com ação antioxidante. Com isso, pretendeu-se desenvolver uma formulação que atue como protetor solar inorgânico, bloqueando a radiação UV e impedindo sua penetração que pode causar sérios danos à pele, além de conter o alfa-tocoferol que interage com os radicais livres, diminuindo os danos causados por estes. Para tanto, inicialmente foram preparadas formulações baseadas em dois diagramas de fases, as amostras que apresentaram separação de fase foram excluídas do trabalho, e as outras foram submetidas à análise de microscopia de luz polarizadas. Através da microscopia de luz polarizada foi possível concluir que a estrutura líquido-cristalina é mantida com a incorporação dos ativos no sistema, o que posteriormente foi confirmado com a análise por SAXS. A análise do potencial zeta permitiu verificar que na faixa de pH entre 5 e 7, indicada para produtos de uso tópico, é possível evitar aglomeração das partículas, e com isso obter um visual transparente do produto. A avaliação do comportamento possibilitou concluir que todas as amostras apresentaram uma consistência ideal para aplicação do produto na pele

Propriedades físicas de vidros Sb2O3-P2O5

This work presents experimental results of some physical properties of antimony phosphate glasses with compositions (x) Sb2O3 - (1-x) P2O5 (x = 0.75, 0.85, 0.90). Mechanical, thermal, optical and electrical properties were investigated: density, elastic moduli (Young's moduli and Poisson's ratio), Vickers microhardness, coefficient of thermal expansion, glass transition temperature, refractive index and electrical conductivity (for x = 0.75). There was no evidence of electronic conductivity by bipolaron hopping. Measurements of energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) showed that volatilization of Sb2O3 takes place during the glass melting

Estudo das propriedades físicas em materiais vítreos do sistema 50B2O3 - 15CuO - 20Li2O - 15X (X= Na2O, K2O, RbCI e Cs2O)

The increasing demand for devices for solid state applications in many technological areas has resulted in a high demand for new materials. Among these material have the advantage of being manufactured with different chemical compositions, and may have physical properties equal to or higher than the corresponding crystalline material. The aim of this paper was to produce borate glass system 50B2O3 – 15CuO – 20Li2O – 15X (X = Na2O, K2O, RbCl e Cs2O) to analyze the influence of the atomic radius of alkali in the physical properties of this glass system. The glasses were synthesized by the process of melting and molding. The characteristic temperatures were determined by the technique of scanning calorimetry (DSC). The non-crystalline was determined by x-ray diffraction. In order to determine the molar volume a density measurement by using the Archimedes method was used. The structural characterization was carried out using the technique of infrared spectroscopy

Avaliação do efeito ambiental nas propriedades mecânicas e viscoelásticas de compósitos híbridos de titânio/fibra de carbono/resina epóxi

Hybrid composites combining metal plates and laminates with continuous fiber reinforced polymer, called fiber-metal (CHMF), have been particularly attractive for aerospace applications, due mainly to their high mechanical strength and stiffness associated with low density. These laminates (CHMF) consist of a sandwich structure consisting of layers of polymer composites and metal plates, stacked alternately. This setting allows you to combine the best mechanical performance of polymer composites reinforced with long fibers, to the high toughness of metals. Environmental effects should always be considered in the design of structural components, because these materials in applications are submitted to the effects of moisture in the atmosphere, the large cyclical variations of temperature around 82 ° C to -56 ° C, and high effort mechanical. The specimens of fibermetal composite were prepared at EMBRAER with titanium plates and laminates of carbon fiber/epoxy resin. This study aims to evaluate the effect of different environmental conditions (water immersion, hygrothermal chamber and thermal shock) of laminate hybrid titanium/carbon fiber/epoxy resin. The effects of conditioning were evaluated by interlaminar shear tests - ILSS, tensile, and vibration free

Cimentação de coroas com fosfato de zinco sobre munhões de liga de titânio, irradiados ou não por laser

By means of tensile strength, NiCr total crowns were removed from machine-made conical abutments composed by an Ti-6Al-4V alloy. In a total of 20 abutments, 10 were used with it surface presenting high smoothness and 10 abutments had its surfaces modifi ed by laser both cemented with zinc phosphate. The mechanical test was performed at a MTS 810 universal machine adjusted to a speed of 0.5 mm/m. The statistical analysis was done by Levene’s test, which showed homogeneity of variances among groups (F =2.21; p < 0.1). “Student t test” showed that signifi cant differences were found between groups. The modifi cation of the abutment surface through laser caused an increase in pull-out resistance of crowns cemented with zinc phosphate from 430.66 N to 1.514,87 N.
