In situ characterization of work hardening and springback in grade 2 alpha-titanium under tensile load

Helena Van Swygenhoven

Plastic effects during sheet metal forming can lead to undesirable distortions in formed components. Here, the three-stage work hardening and plastic strain recovery ("springback") in a cold-rolled, alpha-phase commercially pure titanium is examined. Inter ...

Very high cycle fatigue tests with quenched and self-tempered reinforcement steel bars

Eugen Brühwiler, Alain Nussbaumer, Marina Rocha Pinto Portela Nunes

Investigations on the fatigue strength of steel reinforcement bars (rebars) mainly involves fatigue tests with hot rolled (HR) and cold worked (CW) steels. However, in the last few decades, HR and CW rebars were replaced by quenched and selftempered (QST) ...

On the sluggish recrystallization of a cold-rolled Al–Mn–Fe–Si alloy

Roland Logé, Ke Huang

Annealing of supersaturated AA3xxx alloys at low temperatures usually results in sluggish recrystallization kinetics. This is due to the joint effect of the following factors: low nucleation rate, reduced grain boundary mobility, and large amount of fine p ...

Microstructural influence on the scatter in the fatigue life of steel reinforcement bars

Eugen Brühwiler, Alain Nussbaumer, Marina Rocha Pinto Portela Nunes

Fatigue damage accumulation and failure of steel reinforcement bars (rebars) is a stochastic process. Scatter can be influenced by the sensitivity of the short crack growth to the microstructural features, especially near the fatigue limit. This work inves ...
