Study on the Comprehensive Properties and Microstructures of A3-3 Matrix Graphite Related to the High Temperature Purification Treatment by Xiangwen Zhou, Zhenming Lu, Jie Zhang, Jing Song, Bing Liu, Yaping Tang, Chunhe Tang

“…Furthermore, the multiple mechanical and thermal properties of MG treated without and with the treatment of HTP at ~1900°C were compared and their microstructure features were characterized as well. As the crush strength, oxidation corrosion rate, and erosion rate of MG without HTP treatment did not satisfy the specifications, the comprehensive properties and purity of MG with HTP were improved in various degrees through the HTP process so that all performances met the requirements of the A3-3 MG. …”

Microstructure and mechanical properties of thin-walled TA1 titanium pipes fabricated by high-frequency induction welding by Juying Li, Weijie Li, ZhiXiong Xie, Shijie Dong, Jianying Xie, Feng Ye, Qingsong Mei

“…Tensile fracture analysis revealed that failure predominantly occurred within the BM, underlining a ductile fracture mode characterized by pronounced dimple formations. The enhanced mechanical performance of the weld joints can be attributed to the heterogenous microstructure in the WZ, where the presence of large serrated α-grains enhances ductility, and the fine martensite and twins contribute to the high strength.…”
