Desenvolvimento de tratamentos térmicos visando ganhos magnéticos em aços com ultra baixa concentração de carbono

The relationship between the microstructure and the magnetic properties of soft magnetic materials, have been studied by different researchers who seek to employ electrical systems, increasing their life span and reduce their energy consumption. Following this same line the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory developed a new synchrotron light source, the Sirius, where magnetic materials with high magnetic permeability values are being studied for use in accelerator dipoles. The low carbon steel is a ferromagnetic material that has a great relationship between cost and magnetic permeability. Aiming to raise the values of permeability of the material, heat treatments were done and evaluated the magnetic properties, microstructure and mechanical properties to correlate them. It was noted that the thermal annealing were the most effective, and the annealing performed with a small time threshold, which only phenomenon observed was the primary recrystallisation, was the most elevated values of magnetic permeability of the material, due to the average grain size ideal achieved. The heat treatments do not guide the magnetic domains of the material and not influence the mechanical properties of the material due to lack of carbon in the microstructure. The annealing treatments were shown to be an alternative to raising the values of the magnetic permeability of the material and facilitate the implementation of ultra low carbon steel in the dipoles of Sirius

Estudo do efeito de diferentes tratamentos térmicos nos compostos bioativos presentes na couve-manteiga e no almeirão

Atualmente observa-se uma diminuição no consumo de verduras entre os brasileiros, especialmente na região norte e nordeste do país, entre jovens e aos estratos sociais de baixa escolaridade. Entretanto, o consumo de verduras forma a base de excelência para uma alimentação saudável além de ser indispensável no dia-a-dia. Dentre as verduras de destaque encontram-se a couve-manteiga e o almeirão, que são verduras baratas, amplamente disponíveis no país e que contam com a presença de diferentes tipos de antioxidantes. Antioxidantes são compostos bioativos que possuem múltiplas propriedades, mas que se destacam pelo seu potencial de óxido-redução e por sua capacidade de competir por sítios ativos e receptores de estruturas celulares. Esses mecanismos estão descritos como sendo moduladores da resposta inflamatória, além de serem preventivos de várias condições e doenças. Incluem-se nessa classe os compostos fenólicos, que são produtos do metabolismo secundário dos vegetais e têm sua atividade devido a interação com espécies radicalares, tendo como um dos seus principais componentes os flavonoides, que são metabólitos secundários da classe dos polifenois, tendo seu consumo relacionado a diminuição do risco de doenças coronarianas e alguns tipos de câncer. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de quatro diferentes processos de cozimento (microondas, cozimento a vapor, cozimento em água fervente e fritura a óleo), em duas verduras de grande consumo no Brasil, em relação as quantidades de ácido ascórbico, acidez, compostos fenólicos totais, flavonoides totais e atividade sequestrante de radicais livres e verificar qual melhor método de cozimento que mantenha esses compostos. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que não há uma uniformidade nas alterações...

Análise microestrutural e caracterização mecânica do aço AISI 4350 submetido a diferentes tratamentos térmicos

The multiphase steels are gaining increasing attention in scientific studies because of the different mechanical and microstructural properties that the material can achieve under different thermomechanical and heat treatments that can be submitted. In the present study, it was made a microstructural study thru the triple attack technic associated with optical microscopy and mechanical characterization of medium carbon AISI 4350 steel thru a tensile strength test, subjected to three routes of heat treatment: annealing, quenching and tempering and isothermal annealing. It was verified the predominance of ferrite-perlite constituent in the specimen annealed, martensitic in the quenched and tempered specimen and bainitic in the annealed isothermally specimen. The annealed material showed a higher ductility, while the hardened and tempered specimen showed the highest hardness and ultimately the bainitic specimen showed a combination of the two abovementioned mechanical properties. Thus, we proved that the multiphase steel SAE 4350 can be a versatile material with great potential for various industrial applications

Determinação da tenacidade à fratura do aço aeronáutico 300M, submetido a diferentes parâmetros de tratamentos térmicos e criogenia, utilizando técnica de corpo cilíndrico com entalhe

Foi realizado estudo sobre a influência da variação de alguns parâmetros do tratamento térmico de têmpera e revenimento, bem como aplicação de criogenia, na tenacidade a fratura do aço aeronáutico 300M, com a utilização da técnica de corpo cilíndrico com entalhe. Primeiramente, realizou-se a construção da curva de transição dúctil frágil, através de ensaio Charpy, para amostras submetidas a três tratamentos térmicos, 1 - Têmpera seguida de Revenimento, 2 - Têmpera seguida de criogenia e revenimento. Não foi observada influência significativa da aplicação da criogenia (tratamento de numero 2) na curva de transição dúctil-frágil em comparação com o tratamento térmico número 1. Em um segundo momento, com o auxílio da técnica de ensaio de corpo cilíndrico com entalhe, realizou-se a medição da tenacidade à fratura das amostras do aço 300M submetido a quatro diferentes tratamento térmicos, Q, V, C e D. Os tratamentos variavam entre si principalmente pela temperatura de austenitização. Os valores de dureza para as amostras submetidas a criogenia (V e D) foram maiores que as dos tratamentos sem criogenia (Q e C), e também apresentaram tenacidade à fratura menor. Com relação à temperatura de austenitização, observou-se que os tratamentos C e D, austenitizados a 980°C, propiciaram a completa dissolução de precipitados primários da matriz, elevando a tenacidade à fratura com relação aos tratamentos realizados na faixa de 870°C, Q e V, superando também os efeitos negativos para a tenacidade à fratura devido ao aumento no tamanho de grão.

Influência dos Ciclos Térmicos na Soldadura do Aço GRAU 91- SA213 T91 / SA 335 P91

A indústria metalomecânica nacional possui uma larga tradição no fabrico de equipamentos de elevada qualidade nas mais diversas vertentes. Seja em moldes, colunas de geradores de energia eólica, torres de telecomunicações, equipamento para a agropecuária, básculas de camiões ou simplesmente em silos, a indústria metalomecânica portuguesa é reconhecida internacionalmente pela sua competitividade e qualidade. Sectores como o da maquinagem, estampagem e soldadura mantêm viva a economia nacional, exportando produtos e serviços de engenharia que são largamente reconhecidos pelas empresas estrangeiras, tanto na Europa como em África e na América. O sector da construção soldada teve sempre uma forte tradição no nosso país, conhecendo um novo impulso com o fabrico de estruturas metálicas para geradores de energia eólica e torres de telecomunicações. Atualmente esta indústria mantém viva a sua atividade devido a um forte ’know-how’ nesta matéria e a uma qualidade invejável. Apesar do forte ‘know-how’ já existente, esta indústria está constantemente a ser solicitada para novos desafios, passando pela necessidade da aplicação de novos materiais os quais trazem sempre requisitos específicos aos processos, necessitando ser estudados com pormenor. Este estudo baseia-se na necessidade de uma empresa industrial portuguesa precisar de realizar equipamentos em construção soldada com base em aço do tipo Cr-Mo, grau 91, cuja soldadura é tradicionalmente bastante complicada. A realização dos adequados tratamentos ao material, quer antes, quer depois da soldadura, são a garantia de que a qualidade final do produto atinge os níveis exigidos pelos clientes. Assim, o presente estudo, com uma forte componente experimental, permitiu determinar com sucesso quais as melhores condições para o ciclo térmico na soldadura que podem ser aplicadas a esta liga, para que os resultados obtidos possam exibir a qualidade desejada.

Estudo morfológico da blenda polimérica poli(metacrilato de metila)/poli(tereftalato de etileno) reciclado (PMMA/PET)

Among the options for plastics modification more convenient, both from a technical-scientific and economic, is the development of polymer blends by processing in the molten state. This work was divide into two stages, with the aim to study the phase morphology of binary blend PMMA / PET blend and this compatibilized by the addition of the poly(methyl methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethyl acrylate) copolymer (MMA-GMA-EA). In the first stage is analyzed the morphology of the blend at a preliminary stage where we used the bottle-grade PET in a Haake torque rheometer and the effect of compatibilizer in this blend was evaluated. In the second stage the blend was processed using the recycled PET in a single screw extruder and subsequently injection molding in the shape of specimens for mechanical tests. In both stages we used a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to observe the morphologies of the samples and an image analyzer to characterize them. In the second stage, as well as analysis by TEM, tensile test, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) was performed to correlate the morphology with the mechanical properties. The samples used in morphological analyzes were sliced by cryo-ultramicrotomy technique for the analysis by TEM and the analysis by SEM and AFM, we used the flat face of the block after cut cryogenic. It was found that the size of the dispersed phase decreased with the addition of MMA-GMA-EA in blends prepared in a Haake. In the tensile test, the values of maximum tensile strength and modulus of elasticity is maintained in a range between the value of pure PMMA the pure PET, while the elongation at break was influenced by the composition by weight of the PMMA mixture. The coupling agent corroborated the results presented in the blend PMMA / PETrec / MMA-GMA-EA (80/15/5 %w/w), obtained by TEM, AFM and SEM. It was concluded that the techniques used had a good morphologic correlation, and can be confirmed for final analysis of the morphological characteristics of the blends PMMA / PET

Processamento e caracterização da blenda poli (metacrilato de metila) (PMMA) elastomerico e poli (tereftalato de etileno) (PET) pós-consumo

This work studied the immiscible blend of elastomeric poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) bottle grade with and without the use of compatibilizer agent, poly(methyl methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate - co-ethyl acrylate) (MGE). The characterizations of torque rheometry, melt flow index measurement (MFI), measuring the density and the degree of cristallinity by pycnometry, tensile testing, method of work essential fracture (EWF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were performed in pure polymer and blends PMMA/PET. The rheological results showed evidence of signs of chemical reaction between the epoxy group MGE with the end groups of the PET chains and also to the elastomeric phase of PMMA. The increase in the concentration of PET reduced torque and adding MGE increased the torque of the blend of PMMA/PET. The results of the MFI also show that elastomeric PMMA showed lower flow and thus higher viscosity than PET. In the results of picnometry observed that increasing the percentage of PET resulted in an increase in density and degree crystallinity of the blends PMMA/PET. The tensile test showed that increasing the percentage of PET resulted in an increase in ultimate strength and elastic modulus and decrease in elongation at break. However, in the phase inversion, where the blend showed evidence of a co-continuous morphology and also, with 30% PET dispersed phase and compatibilized with 5% MGE, there were significant results elongation at break compared to elastomeric PMMA. The applicability of the method of essential work of fracture was shown to be possible for most formulations. And it was observed that with increasing elastomeric PMMA in the formulations of the blends there was an improvement in specific amounts of essential work of fracture (We) and a decrease in the values of specific non-essential work of fracture (βWp)
