Friction stir processing (FSP) and standard hardening T6 heat treatment were applied for local surface hardening of the АК12D aluminum (Al-12.8Si-1.67Cu-1.03Ni-0.84Mg-0.33Mn-0.23Co-0.24Fe) alloy plates obtained by hot-compression at elevated temperature. FSP was carried out by introducing a pin into the bulk of the material, followed by its movement along the surface at a traverse speed of 8 and 16 mm / min, accompanied by rotation of the pin at a speed of 2000 rpm. The effect of FSP parameters and T6 treatment on structure and hardness were investigated. It was established that FSP at 2000 rpm and 8 mm / min speed resulted in the formation of a monolithic and defect-free processing zone. The FSP and T6 treatment led to fragmentation of the primary Si and intermetallic phases and partial dissolution of intermetallic phases in the α-Al solid solution followed by decomposition and the formation of dispersed precipitates. The formation of a quasi-equiaxed finegrained structure was observed after FSP and T6 heat treatment in the stir zone. The measured Brinell hardness demonstrated an average value of 128 HB after treatment versus 103 HB in the initial state. The work reveals the features of the local surface structure refinement allowing to figure out approaches to the design of constructions with enhanced properties.
Currently, despite the improvement of radiation safety measures, there is a risk of increasing frequency of radiation accidents and various disasters accompanied by explosions, fires and emissions of radionuclides. Emergencies (emergencies) of peacetime and wartime, especially accidents at radiation-hazardous facilities, including nuclear power plants, carry the danger not only of irradiation of people, but also at the same time thermal burns, mechanical injuries, chemical poisoning by harmful gorenje products, as well as other lesions. Experimental modeling of acute radiation and burn disease was carried out both separately and in combination. It was found that external total gamma irradiation of white rats at a dose of 7.5 Gy causes severe radiation sickness with characteristic clinical signs and high mortality of irradiated animals. A heat stroke simulation was performed by applying a metal plate heated to 190°C with an exposure time of 5 and 8 seconds. It turned out that the degree of burn depends on the time of contact with the surface of the body: its application within 5 seconds caused a burn of the III-A degree, an 8-second exposure of the IIIB degree, which was confirmed by the timing of formation, rejection of eshar and complete healing of the thermal lesion. The aggravating effect of ionizing radiation on the course and outcome of combined radiation-thermal pathology is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
