W artykule zaprezentowano analizę wpływu szybkości chłodzenia na odkształcenia zamarzającego betonu. Badania eksperymentalne dotyczyły pomiaru odkształceń materiału poddanego cyklom chłodzenia-ogrzewania realizowanym z rożną szybkością. Analizę uzupełniono o badania porozymetryczne i kalorymetryczne. Otrzymane wyniki jednoznacznie potwierdzają teorię Powersa mówiącą, iż odkształcenia betonu zwiększają się wraz ze wzrostem szybkości chłodzenia. Maksymalne odkształcenia obserwowane w betonie napowietrzonym były znacznie mniejsze niż w betonie referencyjnym, co potwierdza zasadność stosowania domieszek napowietrzających w składzie betonu narażonego na agresję spowodowaną zamrażaniem/rozmrażaniem.

The main purpose of the manuscript was to analyze the influence of cooling rate on deformation of concrete while freezing. Experimental studies concerned the measurement of strains generated during cooling-heating cycles carried out at different rates. The analysis was supplemented with porosimetric and calorimetric tests. The obtained results unambiguously confirm the Powers theory that concrete deformations rise with the increase of the cooling rate. The maximum strains observed in the air-entrained concrete were much lower compared to the reference material, which confirms the validity of the use of admixtures increasing the frost resistance of the material.

The solubility of Fe in aluminium alloys is known to be a problem in the casting of aluminium alloys. Due to the formation of various intermetallic phases, the mechanical properties decrease. Therefore, it is important to determine the formation mechanisms of such intermetallic. In this work, A360 alloy was used, and Fe additions were made. The alloy was cast into the sand and die moulds that consisted of three different thicknesses. In this way, the effect of the cooling rate was investigated. The holding time was selected to be 5 hours and every hour, a sample was collected from the melt for microstructural analysis. Additionally, the melt quality change was also examined by means of using a reduced pressure test where the bifilm index was measured. It was found that the iron content was increased after 2 hours of holding and the melt quality was decreased. There was a correlation between the duration and bifilm index. The size of Al-Si-Mn-Fe phases was increased in parallel with the bifilm content regardless of the iron content.

Experimental studies of the non-stationary heat exchange in the system «environment I – body II» have been carried out. It is established that in the body II, which consists of the fluid and thin-walled metal envelope, the characteristic features of the regular thermal mode occur, i.e., cooling (heating) rate of the body II- m = const; heat transfer coefficient between the water (environment I) and body II is practically stable α1 = const; uneven temperatures distribution coefficient in the body II ψ = const. This new notion of the heat transfer regularities in the body II is planned to apply for further development of the experimental-calculation method for the forecasting of the heat exchange intensity in the compound fluid media with limited information regarding thermophysical and rheological properties.

Under certain extreme conditions in rock engineering works, fast change in temperature in the load-bearing rocks can happen. Known as thermal shock (TS), such process involves rapid temperature rise or drop, which causes fracturing in the rock material and thus can pose as a threat to the stability of the rock structures. To investigate the influence of thermal shock caused by fast cooling on the mechanical property of rock, laboratory tests are performed on heated granite which are cooled with different methods, with the highest cooling rate reaching 167.4 °C/min. The dynamic loading tests are performed on the heated granite specimens utilizing the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. The test results show that the dynamic compressive strength drops with the increase in heating level or cooling rate. This pattern is explained by the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) test data that the pores inside the heated granite increase both in size and quantity as heating level or cooling rate rises. Damage patterns of the tested granite specimen fragments are analyzed based on the observation with scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the mechanisms of thermal shock in granite are also discussed.

Purpose: The aim of the proposed research is to investigate the mutual influence of the temperature of an overheated melt and its cooling rate during crystallization on the formation of the cast structure and mechanical properties of structural steels. Design/methodology/approach: Two structural medium-carbon steels were melted in induction furnace and poured from temperatures 1520-1670°C into casting moulds with different heat removal ability. This ensured the crystallization and structure formation of the studied steel castings at cooling rates (Vc) of 5°C/sec (sand-clay mould), 45°C/sec (steel mould), 350°C/sec (water cooled copper mould). It was studied a change of structure formation, mechanical characteristics depending on the temperature-kinetic conditions of the processing of the melt. Based on the processing of the array of obtained experimental data using linear regression analysis and a software package, interpolation models and their graphic images obtained allow a quantitative assessment of the established patterns of structural characteristics and mechanical properties of the studied steels depending on melt temperature (T, °C) and its cooling rate (Vc, °C/sec) during crystallization and structure formation. Findings: Among the technological factors that determine the formation of the cast structure and the mechanical properties of steels, the dominant role is played by the intensity of heat removal during the solidification of castings. The high cooling rate of the melt during crystallization determines an increase in the number of crystallization nuclei due to an increase in the degree of supercooling of the melt, eliminates the negative effect of the high overheating temperature of the metal before casting. Research limitations/implications: In the future, the results can be complemented by studies of the influence of the duration of isothermal exposure of the melt at different temperatures of superheating and cooling conditions. Practical implications: The obtained mathematical models (regression equations) that determine the mutual influence of the cooling rate and the temperature of the melt overheating on the structure and mechanical properties of the studied steels make it possible to obtain steel castings with predetermined properties at the level of properties of wrought steel of similar chemical composition. Originality/value: Interpolation models that allow a quantitative assessment of the established patterns of structural characteristics and mechanical properties of the studied steels depending on the melt temperature (T, °C) and its cooling rate (Vc, °C/sec) during crystallization and structure formation are obtained.

Engineering materials, mostly steel, are heat treated under controlled sequence of heating and cooling to alter their physical and mechanical properties to meet desired engineering applications. This paper presents a study of the influence of austenitization temperature, cooling rate, holding time and heating rate during the heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and hardness) of the C45 steel. Specimens undergoing di erent heat treatment lead to various mechanical properties which were determined using standard methods. Microstructural evolution was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that microstructure and hardenability of the C45 steel depends on cooling rate, austenitization temperature, holding time and heating rate.

The paper deals with the effect of microstructure diversified by means of variable cooling rate on service properties of AlSi7Mg cast alloy refined traditionally with Dursalit EG 281, grain refining with titanium-boron and modified with sodium and a variant of the same alloy barbotage-refined with argon and simultaneously grain refining with titanium-boron and modified with strontium. For both alloy variants, the castings were subject to T6 thermal treatment (solution heat treatment and artificial aging). It turned out that AlSi7Mg alloy after simultaneous barbotage refining with argon and grain refining with titanium-boron and modified with strontium was characterised with lower values of representative microstructure parameters (SDAS – secondary dendrite arm spacing, λE, lmax) and lower value of the porosity ratio compared to the alloy refined traditionally with Dursalit EG 281 and grain refining with titanium-boron and modified with sodium. The higher values of mechanical properties and fatigue strength parameters were obtained for the alloy simultaneously barbotage-refined with argon and grain refining with titanium-boron and modified with strontium.

The cooling rate is one of the main tools available to the process engineer by means of which it is possible to influence the crystallisation process. Imposing a desired microstructure on a casting as early as in the casting solidification phase widens significantly the scope of technological options at disposal in the process of aluminium-silicon alloy parts design and application. By changing the cooling rate it is possible to influence the course of the crystallisation process and thus also the material properties of individual microstructure components. In the study reported in this paper it has been found that the increase of cooling rate within the range of solidification temperatures of a complex aluminium-silicon alloy resulted in a decrease of values of the instrumented indentation hardness (HIT) and the instrumented indentation elastic modulus (EIT) characterising the intermetallic phase occurring in the form of polygons, rich in aluminium, iron, silicon, manganese, and chromium, containing also copper, nickel, and vanadium. Increased cooling rate resulted in supersaturation of the matrix with alloying elements.

The presence of the chunky graphite is unwanted in the cast iron with the spheroidal graphite for this significantly lowers the properties of the ductile iron. This shape of the graphite is formed as the result of the slow cooling rate of the castings with large thermal point and also due to the presence of the elements which suppress the formation of the spheroidal graphite and support formation of the chunky graphite. The spheroidal graphite present in the ductile iron assures the excellent mechanical properties, while the chunky graphite significantly reduces those properties of the ductile iron. Therefore it is of importance to assume conditions under which prevented is the formation of the chunky graphite. The casts were carried out under the conditions of the regular operation of the foundry and tested were various types of modifiers and inoculators and also pre-inoculators containing the elements suppressing the formation of the chunky graphite (Al, Sb a Ba). Applied were also the chromium breaker core to suppress the formation chunky graphite which was present in the structure in the places after the feeders elimination. As whole, executed were eight casts with various types of the modifiers and inoculators.

Thermo-physical and thermodynamic properties of metallic systems represent some of the most important data that allows to describe their behaviour under strictly specified conditions. These data are the basic, input data for simulative programs, which can model this behaviour and they can be applied to real conditions. Method of direct thermal analysis is the one of the methods of enabling to obtain such data. This paper deals with application of this method on particular sample of pure standard material. The experimental laboratory system for thermal analysis Netzsch STA 449 F3 Jupiter was used for experimental measurements. This paper is studying the influence of experimental conditions on the obtained temperature of phase transformations and on shift of phase transformation temperatures with respect to the monitored experimental conditions, accuracy and credibility of the measured data. Acquired values of this data could be significantly influenced by experimental conditions, size (mass) of samples, purity of inert atmosphere and also by regimes of controlled heating and cooling rates.

The cooling rates associated with suction and copper-mould casting of ø2, ø3 and ø5 mm rods made in Fe-25wt%Ni and Al-33wt%Cu alloys were determined based on their cellular and lamellar spacings, respectively. The work showed that the temperature profile in cylindrical samples can not be determined merely by microstructural examination of eutectic sample alloys. A concave solidification front, as a result of eutectic transformation, caused decrease of a lamellar spacing while approaching to the rod centre. The minimum axial cooling rates, estimated based on the cellular spacing in the Fe-25wt%Ni alloy, were evaluated to be about 200 K/s for both ø2 and ø3 mm and only 30 K/s for the ø5 mm suction cast rods. The corresponding values were slightly lower for the copper-mould cast rods.

Na podstawie analizy wielkości dendrytów komórkowych w stopie Fe-25Ni i odległości międzypłytkowych w stopie Al-33Cu zostały oszacowane szybkości chłodzenia w trakcie odlewania stopów metodami suction casting i copper-mould casting. Badania wykazały, że rozkład szybkości chłodzenia w cylindrycznych próbkach nie może być oszacowany w stopach z krystalizacją eutektyczną. W tym przypadku bowiem dochodzi do zmniejszania odległości międzypłytkowej w miarę zbliżania się do osi pręta, ze względu na wklęsły charakter frontu krystalizacji. Minimalna szybkość chłodzenia w osi prętów odlanych za pomocą metody suction casting, wyznaczona w oparciu o pomiary wielkości dendrytów komórkowych w stopie Fe-25wt%Ni, wyniosła ok. 200 K/s dla stopów o średnicy ø2 i ø3 mm, i tylko 30 K/s dla stopów o średnicy ø5 mm. W przypadku stopów odlanych metodą copper-mould casting oszacowane wartości były nieznacznie mniejsze.

The use of aluminium cast alloys in automotive industry results from a tendency to considerably lower vehicle mass. Subject to working conditions, silumin casts may show occurrence of intergranular corrosion that reduces mechanical properties of the parts produced. The paper presents the influence of cooling rate – R of a plate cast of aluminium alloy EN AC-AlSi7Mg0,3 on the depth of appearance of intergranular corrosion. Samples were exposed to corrosive medium by immersion for 2,5; 12; 24 and 48 hours in an aqueous solution of NaCl+HCl+H2O. The study demonstrated that cooling rate – R and subsurface porosity significantly influence on distribution and depth of intergranular corrosion in casts of subeutectic silumin.

The paper discusses the effect of microstructure on the fatigue strength of AlSi7Mg casting alloy refined conventionally with hexachloroethane without modifying and modified with TiB and Na. Castings made of both alloy variants were subjected to T6 heat treatment. It turned out that the applied refining secured satisfactory compactness of the material. In view of absence of gas and shrinkage porosity in the castings, short cracks nucleated on largest silicon precipitates and largest intermetallic phase precipitations as these were the locations where stress concentrations reached their highest values. Comprehensive modification of the alloy resulted in reduction of the value of SDAS parameter characterizing α(Al) phase dendrites, a decrease of the distance between silicone precipitates in the eutectic λE, and a decrease of the maximum size of silicone precipitates lmaxSi. The ultimate effect of these changes was an increase of the fatigue strength.

The paper proposes a methodology useful in verification of results of dilatometric tests aimed at determination of temperatures defining the start and the end of eutectoid transformation in the course of ductile cast iron cooling, based on quenching techniques and metallographic examination. For an industrial melt of ductile cast iron, the effect of the rate of cooling after austenitization at temperature 900°C carried out for 30 minutes on temperatures TAr1 start and TAr1end was determined. The heating rates applied in the study were the same as the cooling rates and equaled 30, 60, 90, 150, and 300°C/h. It has been found that with increasing cooling rate, values of temperatures TAr1start and TAr1end decrease by several dozen degrees.

This paper presents a study of the effect of the modification and coolingrate on the grain countα(Al) in the Al-5Cu alloy. Research was performed on castings with walls thickness between 3 mm and 25 mm. Cooling curves were recorded to determine the cooling rate and the degree of undercooling at the beginning of solidification. It has been shown that cooling rate increases exponentially as the wall thickness of casting decreases. Moreover it has been demonstrated that the cooling rate of castings changes within a wide range (21ºC/s - 1ºC/s) when the wall thickness changes from 3 up to 25 mm. Metallographic examinations revealed primary grains (primary α(Al) grains).The paper show that the relationship between the grain count and the degree of undercooling (for non-modified and modified alloys) can be represented by the equation N = Nv = np·exp(-b/_Tα), based on the Weibull's distribution of the size of nucleation sites.

One of the factors influencing possibility of bulk metallic glass formation is cooling rate attainable in the casting process. The evaluation of the cooling rate of the suction-cast 3 mm rods is presented based on the measurements of the celular spacing in the Fe-25Ni and lamellar spacing in the Cu-33Al aloys. The estimated cooling rates are higher close to the rod surface (2952-3817 Ks1) than in the rod axis (228-328 Ks1), which indicates the dominant radial heat flow. In contrast, for the Al-33Cu alloy higher cooling rates were evaluated in the rod axis than close to the surface due to the concave perturbation of the solidification front during eutectic transformation. Based on the results obtained for the Fe-25Ni alloy, it is concluded, that the cooling rate for the suction-cast 3 mm rod is not Iower than 228 Ks1.

Jednym z czynników determinujących możliwość uzyskania masywnych szkieł metalicznych jest szybkość chłodzenia osiągana w danej metodzie odlewania. Przedstawiono wyniki jej oszacowania dla prętów o średnicy 3 mm odlanych metodą suction-casting na podstawie pomiaru odległości międzykomórkowych w stopie Fe-25Ni i odległości międzypłytkowych w stopie Cu-33Al. Oszacowane szybkości chłodzenia są znacznie wyższe przy powierzchni pręta (2952-3817 Ks1) niż w osi (228-328 Ks1), co wskazuje na dominującą rolę radialnego odprowadzania ciepła. Odwrotną zależność uzyskano dla stopu Al-33Cu ze względu na wpływ kształtu krzywizny frontu przemiany podczas krzepnięcia. Bazując na wynikach otrzymanych dla stopu Fe-25Ni stwierdzono, że szybkość chłodzenia prętów o średnicy 3 mm, odlanych za pomocą metody suction-casting, jest nie mniejsza niż 228 Ks1.

Electron microscope observations revealed fracture morphology which is characteristic fore glassy structure. Practical implications: Analysis of temperature during casting process plays an important role in effective fabrication of metallic glasses. Cooling rate can be estimated on the base of results these analyse. Knowing the cooling rate, it could be possible to determine the glass forming ability of studied alloy. Originality/value: Investigations which have been taken in present work are novelty for the sake of optimization of casting process not only for metallic glasses, but also for nanocrystalline engineering materials.

During design of the casting products technology, an important issue is a possibility of prediction of mechanical properties resulting from the course of the casting solidification process. Frequently there is a need for relations describing mechanical properties of silumin alloys as a function of phase refinement in a structure and a porosity fraction, and relations describing phase refinement in the structure and the porosity fraction as a function of solidification conditions. The study was conducted on castings of a 22 mm thick plate, made of EN AC-AlSi7Mg0,3 alloy in moulds: of quartz sand, of quartz sand with chill and in permanent moulds. On the basis of cooling curves, values of cooling rate in various casting parts were calculated. The paper also presents results of examination of distance between arms in dendrites of a solid solution \alfa (DASL), precipitations length of silicon in an eutectic (DlSi) and gas-shrinkage porosity (Por) as a function of cooling rate. Statistical relations of DASL, DlSi, Por as a function of cooling rate and statistical multiparameter dependencies describing mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation) of alloy as a function of DASL, DlSi and Por are also presented in the paper.

The effects of chemical composition, sintering atmosphere and cooling rate on density, microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe-3%Mn-(Cr)-(Mo)-0.3%C PM steels are described. Pre-alloyed Astaloy CrM and Astaloy CrL, ferromanganese and graphite powders were used as the starting materials. After pressing in rigid dies the compacts were sintered at 1120 and 1250°C for 60 minutes atmospheres with different H2/N2 ratios and cooled either at 1.4°Cmin-1 (with the furnace) or 65°Cmin-1 (convective cooling). The convective cooled specimens were subsequently tempered at 200°C for 60 and 240 minutes. All specimens were tested for tensile strength (UTS), elongation (A), offset yield strength (R0.2), TRS, impact toughness and apparent surface hardness (HV 30). After mechanical tests the microstructure of the Fe-Mn-Cr-Mo-C PM steels was studied by optical microscopy. It has been found that by sintering in inexpensive and safe nitrogen-rich atmospheres it is possible to achieve properties similar to those shown by specimens sintered in a hydrogen-rich atmosphere.

Do badań wykorzystane zostały wstępnie stopowane, komercyjne proszki żelaza Astaloy CrL i Astaloy CrM, produkcji szwedzkiej firmy Höganäs oraz niskowęglowy proszek żelazomanganu i proszek grafitu. Prasowanie mieszanek proszków o żądanym składzie chemicznym realizowano w stalowych matrycach, wykonując wypraski prostopadłościenne o wymiarach 5×10×55 mm oraz wytrzymałościowe (zgodne z PN-EN ISO 2740). Spiekanie kształtek odbywało się w temperaturze 1120 i 1250°C w czasie 60 minut, w atmosferze o różnej zawartości wodoru i azotu. Chłodzenie spieków prowadzono z szybkością 1,4°C/min (z piecem) lub 65°C/min (konwekcyjnie w chłodnicy pieca). Spieki chłodzone z szybkością 65°C/min poddane zostały odpuszczaniu w temperaturze 200°C w czasie 60 i 240 minut. Spieczone kształtki poddano statycznej próbie rozciągania oraz próbie trójpunktowego zginania; przeprowadzone również zostały badania udarności oraz pomiary twardości. Badania mikrostruktury spiekanych stali prowadzono z wykorzystaniem mikroskopii świetlnej. W toku prowadzonych badań wykazano, że spiekanie kształtek w taniej i bezpiecznej atmosferze azotu (lub w atmosferach bogatych w azot) pozwala uzyskać zadowalające własności mechaniczne spieków, porównywalne z własnościami tych stali, wytwarzanych poprzez spiekanie w atmosferze wodoru.

This work presents an influence of cooling rate on crystallization process, structure and mechanical properties of MCMgAl6Zn1 cast magnesium alloy. The experiments were performed using the novel Universal Metallurgical Simulator and Analyzer Platform. The apparatus enabled recording the temperature during refrigerate magnesium alloy with three different cooling rates, i.e. 0.6, 1.2 and 2.4°C/s and calculate a first derivative. Based on first derivative results, nucleation temperature, beginning of nucleation of eutectic and solidus temperature were described. It was fund that the formation temperatures of various thermal parameters, mechanical properties (hardness and ultimate compressive strength) and grain size are shifting with an increasing cooling rate.
