Estudo das propriedades mecânicas do aço SAE 1312 modificado ao nióbio

The study of mechanical properties of high-alloy special steels is of great interest of the steel industry due to the great demand by companies that manufacture automotive components of high criticality, and also because of its high commercial value. However, the development of this type of alloy metals demand highly technical knowledge. Among these extremely important kinds of steel, the subject which is the interest of this study is the special steel modified by niobium. The manganese and niobium are the main alloying elements in the composition of these steels, both of them increase the stability of the austenite region, however, manganese increases the hardenability and tensile yield strength, and niobium increases the mechanical strength and promotes refining the grain. The mechanical characterization of steel SAE 1312 modified the niobium was made in order to gain a better understanding of the influence on the mechanical properties caused by aging at different temperatures and for different reductions in the drawing of gauge material. This characterization was made by means of tensile test and hardness. This material showed an increase in yield strength and hardness when gauge with large reductions during the wiredrawing, but when subjected to aging temperatures higher than 300 ° C had a slight loss of these properties

Mineiro do Brasil :melhorado pelo conhecimento da mineralogia, e metalurgia, e das sciencias auxiliadoras /por Mr. de Genssane ; traduzido em portuguez (SIC) de ordem de Sua Alteza Real, o Principe Regente N.S. por Fr. José Mariano da Conceição Velloso

Esse livro é parte do gigantesco esforço de Frei Velloso para oferecer aos brasileiros os melhores livros relacionados com a agricultura, a mineração, a pecuária e as artes que se podiam obter àquela época. Como relata Borba de Moraes, o esforço fracassou devido ao imenso atraso das elites brasileiras da época. A respeito do Fazendeiro do Brasil, o Governador de São Paulo informou à Corte que não conseguira vender um só exemplar da coleção e que não achava quem os quisesse levar de graça.Ressalte-se que esse exemplar não possui as sete gravuras mencionadas por Borba de Moraes.

Caracterização metalúrgica do aço SAE 1141 microligado ao nióbio por simulação física

Este trabalho analisa, através do emprego de simulador físico, os efeitos da adição do nióbio no aço SAE 1141 e seu comportamento como refinador de grão e endurecedor por precipitação, nas altas temperaturas de forjamento e tempos de reaquecimento aplicados industrialmente. Analisa também qual a influência das deformações e velocidades de resfriamento sobre o tamanho de grão austenítico, microestrutura, dureza, cinética da precipitação e propriedades finais. Na definição dos parâmetros de simulação foram observadas rotinas de produção de peças forjadas comercialmente, a literatura técnica, e possíveis alterações que otimizassem as propriedades do aço em estudo. Para tanto foram definidas as temperaturas de forjamento 1100, 1200 e 1250°C, a taxa de deformação de 1/s, as deformações de 30, 50 e 70%, e as velocidades de resfriamento de 36, 60, 100 e 150°C/min. Os resultados indicaram que a velocidade de resfriamento tem papel preponderante na microestrutura final, que variou de um agregado de ferrita e perlita para bainita (às vezes com alguma martensita) a medida em que a velocidade de resfriamento aumenta. A simulação térmica indicou que tamanho de grão austenítico aumenta a medida em que se eleva a temperatura de reaquecimento e que existe apenas um pequeno efeito ancorador de grão do nióbio nesse quesito, quando não estiver presente alguma deformação Foi observado, através da simulação física que, com a presença de deformação, principalmente para as temperaturas menores de reaquecimento, a precipitação induzida por deformação parece ancorar o crescimento dos grãos recristalizados, resultando num tamanho de grão austenítico menor. Esse trabalho constitui parte integrante do projeto de desenvolvimento da tecnologia dos aços microligados, num esforço conjunto do Laboratório de Metalurgia Física – LAMEF, através do Grupo de Desenvolvimento de Aços Microligados, da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, em parceria com a Aços Finos Piratini e DANA – Albarus, com o apoio da CAPES.

Compósitos de matriz metálica à base níquel com adição de TaC e NbC produzidos via metalurgia do pó

Carbide reinforced metallic alloys potentially improve some important mechanical properties required for the overall use of important engineering materials such as steel and nickel. Nevertheless, improved performance is achieved not only by composition enhancement but also by adequate processing techniques, such as novel sintering methods in the case of powder metallurgy. The method minimizes energy losses in addition to providing uniform heating during sintering. Thus, the general objective of this study was to evaluate the density, hardness, flexural strength, dilatometric behavior and to analyze the microstructure of metal matrix composites based nickel with addition of carbides of tantalum and / or niobium when sintered in a conventional furnace and Plasma assisted debinding and sintering (PADS). Initially, were defineds best parameters of granulation, screening and mixing procedure. After, mixtures of carbonyl Ni and 5%, 10% and 15 wt.% NbC and TaC were prepared in a Y-type mixer under wet conditions during 60 minutes. The mixtures were then dried and granulated using 1.5 wt. % paraffin diluted in hexane. Granulates were cold pressed under 600 MPa. Paraffin was then removed from the pressed pellets during a pre-sintering process carried out in a tubular furnace at 500 °C during 30 min. The heating rate was 3 ºC/min. The pellets were then sintered using either a plasma assisted reactor or a conventional resistive tubular furnace. For both methods, the heating rate was set to 8 ºC/min up to 1150 °C. The holding time was 60 minutes. The microstructure of the sintered samples was evaluated by SEM. Brinell hardness tests were also carried out. The results revealed that higher density and higher hardness values were observed in the plasma-assisted sintered samples. Hardness increased with the concentration of carbides in the Ni-matrix. The flexural strength also increased by adding the carbides. The decline was larger for the sample with addition of 5% 5% TaC and NbC. In general, compositions containing added carbide 10% showed less porous and more uniform distribution of carbides in the nickel matrix microstructural appearance. Thus, both added carbide and plasma sintering improved density, hardness, flexural strength and microstructural appearance of the composites

Comparação dos efeitos de compressão isostática e compressão uniaxial na obtenção da liga NiTi por metalurgia do pó

Several alloys present the shape memory effect and among them, the equiatomic NiTi alloy, nitinol, is the most important one. It is usually used in several engineering applications and also in biomedical devices, in the fabrication of orthodontic wire, stents and Judet staples. Although a considerable amount of these biomedical devices is utilized in Brazil and a fraction of it is already made here, all nitinol used is bought abroad. Thus, it is important to develop the necessary know-how to fabricate NiTi wire and sheet. It would mean less importation with job creation and wealth generation for the country. In this work nitinol was obtained powder metallurgy from elemental powders of Ti and Ni using uniaxial compression and uniaxial compression followed by isostatic compression. The final densities achieved were determined by the Archimedes method. The precipitation of intermetallic secondary phases was studied and the samples were characterized by metallographic analysis, optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Results indicated that 50 hours sintering route showed a low amount of intermetallics, and no trace of unreacted powder. XRD and metallography at room temperature indicated B19’ as the predominant phase, which corresponds to martensite. Although density results showed little dispersion, the most dense sample was compacted under uniaxial compression and presented 4.8 g/cm3, corresponding to 20.84% porosity. Density variation was considered normal to the measurement process and independent of the compaction mode

Estudo de tempos e temperaturas de sinterização na obtenção da liga NiTi por metalurgia do pó

The nickel-titanium alloys are very attractive and so it is widely used in industry, engineering applications in general and also in biomedical and dental applications. Besides showing the shape of memory effect, biocompatibility and superelastic, the alloy commercially known as Nitinol, has excellent mechanical properties. Most devices used in Brazil have been produced nationally, but using imported material is also necessary, which shows the need of produce the alloy nationally. In this study we have investigated the influence of sintering temperatures and times to obtain nickel-titanium alloys by powder metallurgy alloys and the characterization of the precipitated intermetallic phases by using the post-mix of elemental nickel and titanium in proportion of 49.5% Ti - 50.5% Ni. The samples were sintered at 930ºC for periods of 30, 40 and 50 hours and were characterized by optical microscopy using metallography and x-ray diffraction. The results of the study show that the 50 hours sintering time was the most suitable time for obtaining the alloy, observing a low volume of precipitated intermetallic phases and absence of Ni and Ti residuals
