Characterisation of microstructure, defect and high-cycle-fatigue behaviour in a stainless steel joint processed by brazing [PDF]
We report the characterisation of microstructures and high-cycle-fatigue (HCF) properties of Type 304 stainless steel joints processed by brazing. Pure copper was applied as the filler metal for brazing at 1120 °C. A two-phase microstructure was obtained

Influence of Test Temperature and Test Frequency on Fatigue Life of Aluminum Alloy EN AW‐2618A
The influence of test temperature and test frequency on the fatigue life of EN AW‐2618A is investigated. High‐cycle fatigue tests are performed at different test temperatures and frequencies on the 1000 h/230°C overaged state. Both test parameters reduce fatigue life due to time‐dependent damage mechanisms.

Microscopic observation of creep-fatigue crack propagation in lead-free solder
Creep-fatigue crack propagation tests of lead-free solder were conducted under various loading waveforms. The waveforms adapted in displacement-controlled tests were four triangular waveforms: pp waveform having fast loading-unloading, cc waveform having

Nondestructive Testing of Welded Composite Metal Foams
X‐ray computed tomography (CT) is used to evaluate welded steel–steel composite metal foam (CMF) joints of two density classes. It reports variation in postweld spatial void distribution and correlates it to weld‐induced changes, mechanical performance, and failure within welded CMF panels.

A quasi‐periodic Dart‐Kite (QDK) metastructure with a golden‐ratio‐constrained strong–weak bond network simultaneously enhances strength, toughness, and damage tolerance. Its distributed topology enables predictable, tailorable crack paths for precise fracture control and stable mechanics, demonstrating a high‐performance, controllable architecture ...

Near-threshold fatigue crack growth in bulk metallic glass composites [PDF]
A major drawback in using bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) as structural materials is their extremely poor fatigue performance. One way to alleviate this problem is through the composite route, in which second phases are introduced into the glass to arrest ...

Failure Investigation of Alloy 625 Sockolets After Prolonged Service in an Ammonia Cracker Unit
The failure of the sockolets was caused by intergranular cracking and fracture. The thick and highly brittle nitrided layer formed intergranular surface cracks, which propagated along grain boundaries into the base alloy substrate due to the presence of brittle Cr‐rich carbides. ABSTRACT Several sockolets of Alloy 625 operating at 540°C in contact with
