Metal compressive strength

Cemented carbides possess high compressive strength but low ductihty at room temperature, but at temperatures associated with metal-cuttiag these materials exhibit a small but finite amouat of ductihty. Measuremeat of yield strength is therefore more appropriate at higher temperatures. Like hardness, the compressive yield strength of cemented carbide decreases monotonicaHy with increa sing temperatures. 

The high elastic modulus, compressive strength, and wear resistance of cemented carbides make them ideal candidates for use in boring bars, long shafts, and plungers, where reduction in deflection, chatter, and vibration are concerns. Metal, ceramic, and carbide powder-compacting dies and punches are generahy made of 6 wt % and 11 wt % Co ahoys, respectively. Another apphcation area for carbides is the synthetic diamond industry where carbides are used for dies and pistons (see Carbon). 

The third test shown in Fig. 17.2 is the compression test. For metals (or any plastic solid) the strength measured in compression is the same as that measured in tension. But for brittle solids this is not so for these, the compressive strength is roughly 15 times larger, with... 

During the temperature ramp period, pressure is applied. How much pressure is applied depends on the adhesive and the type of assembly. Honeycomb assemblies are limited by the compression strength of the honeycomb core, so cure pressure is typically limited to 50 psi for aluminum core of standard density. Metal to metal assemblies can withstand higher pressures and usually have fewer bondline voids when cured at higher pressures. Metal-to-metal assemblies bonded with standard modified epoxies are cured at 90 psi.

Certain oxides of divalent metals, those of ZnO, CuO, SnO, HgO, and PbO, form cements that are hydrolytically stable in addition MgO, CaO, BaO and SrO form cements that are softened when exposed to water. Compressive strengths of these materials range from 26 to 83 MPa, the strongest being the copper(II) and zinc polyacrylate cements (Table 5.1). Crisp, Prosser Wilson (1976) found that for divalent oxides the rate of reaction increased in the order... 

Brauer, Stansbury Flowers (1986) modified these cements in several ways. The addition of various adds - acetic, propionic, benzoic etc. -accelerated the set. The use of zinc oxide powders coated with propionic add improved mixing, accelerated set, reduced brittleness and increased compressive strength from 63 to a maximum of 72 MPa. The addition of plasticizing agents such as zinc undecenylate yielded flexible materials. Incorporation of metal powders had a deleterious effect and greatly increased the brittleness of these cements. The addition of fluorides was not very successful, for fluoride release was not sustained. 

The process does not stabilize the removed heavy metals, additional treatment is required for recycling or disposal of the removed ions. The crosslinking process renders the chitosan beads insoluble in dilute acid but reduces compression strength and adsorption capacity relative to the uncrosslinked chitosan adsorbent bead. Adsorption capacity of chitosan is reduced as pH decreases. 

Resonant Shock Compaction (RSC) is an ex situ, volume reduction technology that uses vibration and compaction to stabilize soil, debris, and wastes contaminated with heavy metals and radionuclides. The influent media is packed into a mold and subjected to pressure and vibratory shock. The final product has a high, compressible strength and may be formed into different shapes and sizes. 

Tons of spent abrasives result each year from the removal of old paint from bridges. Because the spent abrasives contain metals from the paint, some spent abrasives may be considered hazardous by the Toxicity Characteristic (TC) criteria. Incorporation of the spent blasting abrasives in nonstructural concrete offers an opportunity to recycle the spent abrasives while immobilizing potentially leachable metals. Solvents that are less aggressive will mean that abrasives will be necessary in some applications. Study results indicated that considerable quantities of these spent abrasives can be solidified/stabilized while reducing the leachability of cadmium, chromium, and lead and producing compressive strengths over 6895 kN/m2 (1000 psi) (Brabrand and Loehr, 1993).

Transition metal carbides and nitrides are not only inherently brittle at room temperature they are also difficult to manufacture. For engineering applications, the hard carbides (and nitrides) are therefore bonded or cemented by a ductile metal binder, usually cobalt or nickel (hence the name Cemented Carbides ). Additions of binder metal in the range of 5-20 wt% increase the toughness (transverse rupture strength) of the tools without seriously reducing hardness, rigidity, or compressive strength. Metallic binders also enable carbide products to be manufactured to full density.
