Grade of titanium and titanium alloy and classification of metallographic structure after annealing

Grade of titanium and titanium alloy and classification of metallographic structure after annealing

Classification of titanium alloys according to the data, there are many classification methods. The more common one is to classify according to the metallographic structure after annealing: 1. After annealing, the basic structure is a phase, which is called type a titanium alloy; 2. After annealing, the basic structure is A+B, but mainly a phase, which is called near A-type alloy; 3. After annealing, the basic phase A+B is similar, which is called A+B alloy. It can also be called a equiaxed + B transformation or a primary equiaxed + B transformation or a primary equiaxed + a widmanstatten +…

From history to application, understand the past and present life of engineering plastics

1、 What is engineering plastics? Engineering plastics are plastics that can be used as engineering materials and replace metals to make machine parts. Engineering plastics have excellent comprehensive properties, high rigidity, low creep, high mechanical strength, good heat resistance and good electrical insulation. They can be used for a long time in harsh chemical and physical environments. They can replace metals as engineering structural materials, but the price is expensive and the output is small. 2、 Classification of Engineering Plastics: Engineering plastics can be divided into general engineering plastics and special engineering plastics. The former mainly includes polyamide, polycarbonate, polyformaldehyde,…

Explanation of terms related to injection molding (5)

1. What is the purpose of inserting inserts into plastic parts? The purpose of inserting inserts into plastic parts is to improve the local strength, hardness, wear resistance, conductivity and magnetic conductivity of plastic parts, or to increase the stability of the size and shape of plastic parts, or to reduce the consumption of plastic. 2. What is the working principle of single parting surface injection mold? The single parting surface injection mold is also known as the two plate injection mold. As shown in Fig. 5.4, when closing the mold, the moving mold and the fixed mold are closed…

Explanation of terms related to injection molding (4)

1. What are the preparations before injection molding?  (1) Inspection of raw material appearance and determination of process performance;  (2) Preheating and drying of materials;  (3) . preheating of inserts;  (4) . cleaning of material barrel;  (5) Selection of release agent. 2. What factors limit the size of plastic parts?  (1) Limited by the fluidity of plastics. Under certain equipment and process conditions, the plastic with good fluidity can form larger plastic parts; On the contrary, the size of plastic parts that can be formed is smaller.  (2) The size of plastic parts is also limited by molding equipment. The…

Explanation of terms related to injection molding (3)

1. What is the dimensional relationship between the nozzle of the injection machine and the sprue of the injection mold? In order to ensure that there is no overflow between the main channel and the nozzle of the injection machine during injection molding, which will affect the demoulding. When designing the mold, the spherical surface at the beginning of the sprue must be slightly larger than the spherical radius of the nozzle head of the injection machine, as shown in Figure 4.10, that is, R is 1 ~ 2mm larger than R. The diameter of the small end of the…

1. Please take the horizontal screw injection machine as an example to describe the working process of the injection machine?  (1) , heating and pre plasticization: driven by the transmission system, the screw will transport and compact the materials from the hopper forward. Under the shear and friction of the heater outside the barrel, the screw and the barrel, the materials will gradually melt, and a certain amount of molten plastic has accumulated at the head of the barrel. Under the pressure of the melt, the screw will slowly retreat. The backward distance depends on the amount required for one…

1. What is the shrinkage of plastics and what are the basic factors affecting the shrinkage of plastics? After the plastic is taken out from the mold and cooled to room temperature, the characteristic of dimensional shrinkage is called shrinkage. Because this shrinkage is not only caused by the thermal expansion and cold shrinkage of the resin itself, but also related to various molding factors, the shrinkage of plastic parts after molding is called molding shrinkage. The main factors affecting the shrinkage rate include: (1) plastic variety; (2) Plastic structure; (3) Die structure; (4) Molding process.2. What is the fluidity…

Explanation of terms of metal materials (VI): Mechanical properties

1. The concept of stress, the force on the unit cross-sectional area inside the object is called stress. The stress caused by the action of external force is called working stress, and the stress balanced in the interior of the object without the action of external force is called internal stress (such as tissue stress, thermal stress, residual stress left after the processing process, etc.). 2. Mechanical properties: the ability of metal to resist deformation and fracture when it is subjected to external force (load) under certain temperature conditions is called the mechanical properties of metal materials (also known as…

Explanation of terms of metal materials (V): Hardness

Hardness indicates the ability of a material to resist the pressure of a hard object into its surface. It is one of the important performance indexes of metal materials. Generally, the higher the hardness, the better the wear resistance. Common hardness indicators include Brinell hardness, Rockwell hardness and Vickers hardness: 1. Brinell hardness (HB): press a hardened steel ball of a certain size (generally 10mm in diameter) into the material surface with a certain load (generally 3000kg) and keep it for a period of time. After unloading, the ratio between the load and its indentation area is the Brinell hardness…

Explanation of terms of metal materials (IV): Durability

Main forms of building metal corrosion:  (1) Uniform corrosion. The corrosion of the metal surface makes the section uniform and thin. Therefore, the annual average thickness loss value is often used as the index of corrosion performance (corrosion rate). Steel is generally uniformly corroded in the atmosphere.  (2) Pitting. The corrosion of metal is pitted and deep pits are formed. The generation of pitting corrosion is related to the nature of metal and its medium. Pitting is easy to occur in the medium containing chloride salt. The maximum hole depth is often used as the evaluation index for pitting corrosion.…
