Speech Title: Linear-drive type modulated rotating magnetic field for triaxial grain orientation

Abstract: Epitaxial growth technique is the typical and practical for production of single crystals which have triaxial aligned and densified microstructure. Recently, a modulated rotating magnetic field (MRF) has been reported as the magnetic field in which the triaxial aligned microstructure can be formed for grains with triaxial magnetic anisotropy. In principle, this MRF technique is a room-temperature process and is useful for fabrication of not only triaxially aligned polycrystals but also composites containing triaxially aligned fillers. However, the most serious issue on the MRF technique is that a sample-rotation system is required to generate MRF when the 10-tesla-class superconducting electromagnets are used. That is, it is a batch process and quite inefficient from the viewpoint of the production process. Recently, our group has newly developed Linear Drive-type MRF (LDT-MRF) apparatus [1] as MRF applicable to the continuous production process for sheet-shaped products in 2018. In this presentation, the principle of the apparatus and recent progress in triaxial magnetic alignment by LDT-MRF are explained.

Speech Title: Structural integrity evaluation of anisotropic components manufactured by 3D printing

Abstract: The fused filament fabrication process used on low-cost 3D printers has allowed the growth of this manufacturing method in the most diverse technological fields. The use of more strength, rigid, and tough thermoplastics such as polylactic acid (PLA), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyethene terephthalate glycol (PETG), or polyamides, including their reinforcement with short fibres, allowed the expansion of this technique in areas with demanding structural requirements, in which should be assured a reliable design. Predicting the mechanical integrity of components manufactured by additive processes is a challenging task that is difficulted by the complexity of the geometries fabricated by these processes, along with the anisotropy enhanced by the layer-by-layer manufacturing method and the difficulty in quickly obtaining the elastic and strength properties of the materials, which are strongly influenced by the manufacturing parameters. The use of 3D CAD models in the design phase of components manufactured by 3D printing facilitates the use of the finite element method in assessing their integrity and simulating their in-service behavior. However, in the literature there are few examples of application of the finite element method in the analysis of 3D anisotropic printed parts, and the existing ones are restricted to simple geometries. To deal with the anisotropy of materials and the presence of several phases, intense research has been carried out for the last decades in the field of evaluating the mechanical strength of composite materials, introducing several specific failure criteria. In this speech, the simulation of in-service behavior of components manufactured by 3D printing is presented, applying criteria usually used in the study of composite materials, to evaluate their structural integrity.

Speech Title: Thermomechanical Transformations Governing Thermoelasticity and Superelasticity in Shape Memory Alloys

Abstract: A series of alloy systems, called shape memory alloys exhibit a peculiar property, called shape memory effect, by giving stimulus response to changes in the external conditions. This phenomenon is initiated with thermomechanical processes on cooling and deformation and performed thermally on heating and cooling, with which shape of the materials cycle between original and deformed shapes in reversible way. Therefore, this behavior can be called Thermoelasticity. Deformation in low temperature condition is plastic deformation, with which strain energy is stored in the materials and releases on heating by recovering the original shape. This phenomenon is governed by the thermomechanical transformations, thermal and stress induced martensitic transformations. Thermal induced martensitic transformations occur on cooling with cooperative movement of atoms in <110 > -type directions on {110} - type plane of austenite matrix, along with lattice twinning and ordered parent phase structures turn into the twinned martensite structures. The twinned structures turn into detwinned martensite structures by means of stress induced martensitic transformations with deformation. These alloys exhibit another characteristic, called superelasticity with the recoverability of two shapes at different conditions. Superelasticity is performed in only mechanical manner with stressing and releasing the material in elasticity limit at a constant temperature in the parent austenite phase region, and shape recovery occurs instantly and simultaneously upon releasing, by exhibiting elastic material behavior. Superelasticity is performed in non-linear way, unlike normal elastic materials behavior, stressing and releasing paths are different, and cycling loop refers to the energy dissipation. Superelasticity is also result of stress induced martensitic transformation, with which the ordered parent phase structures turn into the detwinned martensite structures by stressing.
These alloys are functional materials with these properties and used as shape memory elements in many interdisciplinary fields, from biomedical application to the building industry. Copper based alloys exhibit this property in metastable β-phase region, which has bcc-based structures. Lattice invariant shears and twinning are not uniform in these alloys, and the ordered parent phase structures undergo the non-conventional layered structures with martensitic transformation. These layered structures can be described by different unit cells as 3R, 9R or 18R depending on the stacking sequences.
In the present contribution, x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy studies were carried out on copper based CuZnAl and CuAlMn alloys. X-ray diffraction profiles and electron diffraction patterns exhibit super lattice reflections inherited from parent phase due to the displacive character of the transformation. Critical transformation temperatures of these alloys are over the room temperature, and alloy samples were aged at room temperature in martensitic condition, and a series of x-ray diffractograms were taken during ageing. X-ray diffractograms taken in a long-time interval show that diffraction angles and intensities of diffraction peaks change with the aging time at room temperature. This result refers to a new transformation in diffusive manner.
