A three-dimension discrete element model of the shot blasting machine has been established to study the principles of shots flow motion in shot blasting machine. The three-dimension discrete element method (EDEM) was used to analyse the shot-motion process inside the shot blasting machine. The dynamic law of shots motional process inside shot blasting machine was shown through simulation.
The study reports the sintering kinetics of Ti–48Al–2Nb-2Cr composites (TANC) with addition of different weight contents of LiF, NaF,CaF2and 38%CaF2-62%BaF2eutectic solid lubricant (BC) using OM, SEM and DSC. The microstructure of TANC composites with different CaF2and BC content is analyzed. Additions of solid lubricants to TANC matrix have significant influences on densification degree of the composites. Densities increase with sintering temperature and time, decrease with addition amount of solid lubricant.
The fracture characterization of Ti–48Al–2Nb-2Cr composites (TANC) with addition of different weight contents of fluoride solid lubricants (LiF, NaF, CaF2 and 38%CaF2-62%BaF2 eutectic solid lubricant (BC) ) were evaluated in the paper. The fracture toughness of composites with different content of fluoride solid lubricants is discussed. The TANC composites with 0-5 wt.% solid lubricant exhibit higher fracture toughness. It can be seen that additions of all fluoride solid lubricants to TANC matrix result in decrease in fracture toughness expect for additions of 5% of that. By adding 5 wt.% BC the fracture toughness of the TANC composites exhibited a maximum value of 12.2MPa m1/2; by addition of 5%CaF2, 11.4 MPa m1/2; 5%LiF, 10.8 MPa m1/2 while 5%NaF, 11.1 MPa m1/2. However, with further increasing of fluoride solid lubricants contents it showed a downward trend. By adding 20 wt.% BC the fracture toughness of the TANC composites exhibited a maximum value of 8.6 MPa m1/2; by addition of 20%CaF2, 8.1 MPa m1/2; 20%LiF, 8.3 MPa m1/2 while 5%NaF, 7.9 MPa m1/2.
