The polymeric materials in this study underwent mechanical tests (tensile test, impact resistance and hardness), which explained the use of polymeric materials in engineering and industrial applications that need good mechanical properties compared to metals, ceramic materials and woods, and this is a good thing because it is characterized by low cost and high efficiency with application performance In this study, the polycarbonate polymer was characterized by its high tensile strength in the event of breakage, but the elongation values decreased compared with the polypropylene and polyethylene polymers, which were characterized by high elongation at the expense of tensile strength, as the polycarbonate polymer acted as a brittle material as for resistance to shock, which reflected the amount of energy absorbed From the striking hammer, the impact resistance of high-density polyethylene increased compared to other polymers, as well as the hardness whose values were close to the three types of polymers used, which confirms the importance of these types in the application used in engineering.
In the present study, two gray cast iron specimens were diffusion bonded at the temperatures of 700, 750, 800, 850, and 900 °C, the furnace used atmosphericexperiment under a pressing load of 1 and 2 ton for 15, 30 and 60min. After diffusion bonding, shear test measurements of interface region were made. As a result, from the microstructural observations, a good bonding along the interface of the bonded couples were detected since the interface is free from voids and microcracks. To evaluate the bond strength, the shear test investigation was used. The actual bonded area was calculated by using a computer package called (Auto Cad 2006). The results shows that the bond strength increases with increasing the temperature and holding time. Fracturography of the interface was carried out by using optical microscope before and after the experiments. The microstructure results shows the formation of carbide. Its precipitation increases with increasing the bonding temperature and time.
Abstract. Experimental studies carried out on the joining of grey lamellar graphite cast iron to low carbon steel by diffusion welding techniques had successfully produced a few diffusion couples, despite facing some earlier failures. Although faced with some success, analysis on the diffusion couples showed voids and incomplete bond/joint at the interface of the joints while the tensile strength value was found to be low. In furtherance, the diffusion couples were then subjected to a post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) that allowed for further diffusion process to take place to remove the voids and complete the bond/weld. The results revealed microvoids and interface lines at the interfaces of the specimens treated at temperatures of 800 0 C, and becoming less visible at 900 0 C. At an elevated temperature of 1000 0 C, on longer treatment times, apparently these microvoids and interface lines had disappeared, and the bond/weld at the interfaces of the diffusional welded couples seemed to be more complete. Thus, heat treatment time and temperature were found to have a strong influence on the structure, thickness and hardness of the diffusion layer produced.
