Strength stresses

Most wrought alloys are provided in conditions that have been strengthened by various amounts of cold work or heat treatment. Cold worked tempers are the result of cold rolling or drawing by prescribed amounts of plastic deformation from the annealed condition. Alloys that respond to strengthening by heat treatment are referred to as precipitation or age hardenable. Cold worked conditions can also be thermally treated at relatively low temperatures to affect a slight decrease in strength (stress rehef annealed) to benefit other properties, such as corrosion resistance and formabiUty.

Rare earths have low solubilities in a-Ti and hence can function as dispersionstrengthening agents. Rapid solidification and deformation processing of Ti-base alloy containing rare earths was used to obtain a fine dispersoid of rare earth oxides, sulphides and oxysulphides. The data on improved strength, stress rupture life and creep resistance of Ti-base alloys with added rare earths are given in Table 12.10.

When wall thickness is calculated, care should be given to correct estimation of the tensile strength (stress) at the design temperature. This aspect is important when selecting high-alloy and special steels that are much more expensive than carbon steel and mild alloy (see Table 2). Note that the thermal conductivity of stainless steels is considerably lower than of carbon steel, implying much higher heat transfer resistance. For example, thermal conductivity of carbon steel is about 50 W/m K, but only 10-15 W/m K for stainless steels. 

Blend composition has a strong influence on the mechanical properties of NR/EPDM blends (66). Figure 15.8 shows that tensile strength stress at 100% and yield strain is increasing with the increase in the concentration of EPDM in the blend. This is attributed to the reinforcing effect of EPDM domains in the NR matrix. The... 

Mechanical Strength Stress measurements can be conducted using SEM and TEM. A report on the mechanical properties of polyethylene under deformation and fracture was presented [41]. Three types of fractures depending on the molecular weight and linearity, namely, crazing, elongation, and the interfacial splitting of spherulites were described.
