Pressure Vessels
Pressure vessels commonly have the form of spheres, cylinders, cones, ellipsoids, tori or composites of this. Pressure vessels can be designed as a thin-walled and thick-walled. Design rules are followed using ASME Code, Section VIII, Div.1, having a higher factor of safety to allow for the unknown stresses in the vessel.

Phase Diagram
Like all other metals, iron and steel are crystalline in structure, composed of atoms in a fixed lattice. Iron may exist in one of two cubic forms, body centered (BCC) or face-centered (FCC)
Phase Diagram
At room temp, pure iron is composed of body-centered cubic lattice. In this form it is known as alpha iron, also called ferrite, which is soft, ductile, and magnetic. When heated above 768C, alpha iron loses its magnetism but retains its body-centered crystalline structure. The crystal structure changes to face-centered cubic at about 910C at which alpha iron is transformed to gamma iron. Phase Diagrams are plotted in weight or atomic percent (horizontal axis) versus temperature (vertical axis).

What is Strain
Strain is a measurable quantity. When the size or shape of a component is altered, the deformation in any dimension can be characterized by the deformation per unit length or strain (). It is proportional to stress at or below the proportional limit of the material.
Phase Diagram
Ferrite: Ferrite Alpha iron (BCC), containing a small amount of carbon (0.04-0.05%) in solid solution. This phase is soft, ductile, & relatively weak. Cementite: Cementite Iron carbide, FeC, a compound containing 6.67% carbon and 93.33% iron, which is very hard & extremely brittle. Pearlite: Pearlite A mixture of alternating plates of iron carbide (cementite) and ferrite (lamellar structure), which form on slow cooling from within gamma range. Bainite: Bainite A mixture of ferrite & cementite, which is harder and stronger than pearlite. It forms by the transformation of austenite in many steels during fairly rapid cooling, but not fast enough to cause martensite formation.

Martensite: The hardest constituent achievable by heatMartensite treating of steels, it is formed by the rapid cooling of austenite to a temperature below the martensite temperature.
Material Test

Material Test
Impact Test: is normally performed to ensure adequate ductility at the lower temperature the material will be in use. It is recognized that certain materials tend to become brittle at low temperatures and may be subject to failure which would not occur normally at usual temperatures or at elevated temperatures. The ASME Unfired Pressure Vessel Code arbitrarily establishes a temperature of -28.8 deg.C (-20 deg.F) as point which all vessels constructed of carbon or low-alloy steels should be impact tested with certain exemptions. No impact test are required for aluminum, austenitic stainless steel in grades 304, CF8, 304L, 316, CF8M, or 321, or copper, red brass, copper-nickel alloys, or nickel-copper alloys.
Material Test
The two most common methods used to measure metal toughness are the Charpy Impact test defined in ASTM specification E 23, and the Drop-Weight Test, defined in ASTM E 208. The Charpy test employs a small machined specimen with a machined notch that is struck by a pendulum weight. The energy loss to the pendulum as it passes through and breaks specimen, measured in kilojoules or ft-lb of force, is a measure of the toughness of the specimen.

Material Test
The Drop-Weight test is similar in principle but employs a larger specimen with a brittle, notched weld bead used as a crack starter. A weight is dropped from a height onto the specimen, which had been cooled or heated to the desired test temperature. The test determines the nil-ductility transition temperature (NDTT), defined as the specimen temperature when, upon striking, the crack propagates across the entire specimen width.
Stress-Strain
21
10/17/2011
Stress-Strain Relationship
This gives the relation between unit stress and unit strain when plotted on a stress-strain diagram in which the ordinate represents the unit stress and the abscissa represents unit strain.
What is Stress
Stress is a defined quantity that cannot be directly observed or measured but it is the cause of most failures in manufactured products. It is defined as the force per unit area () with English units of pounds per square inch (psi) or metric units of megapascals (mpa).

Stress-Strain
Modulus of Elasticity (Youngs Modulus), is the ratio of normal stress to corresponding strain for tensile or compressive stresses. This ratio is linear through a range of stress, known as Hookes law. The modulus of elasticity is measured using the tension test, the most widely used test applied to engineering materials. The test consist of applying gradually increasing load in either tension or compression, in a testing machine, to a standardized test specimen. The applied load is continuously monitored, as is test specimen elongation or contraction under load. These measured quantities are generally represented on a coordinate axis, called a stress-strain curve. stress-

Stress-Strain
Yield Strength: when a specimen is loaded beyond the Strength point where elastic behavior can be maintained the specimen will begin to deform in a plastic manner. A gradual transition occurs as represented by a curve, or knee, in the stress-strain curve. Strength: Ultimate Tensile Strength upon further increase of applied load under constant strain rate, the specimen will continue to stretch until the loss of load-carrying cross section caused by the specimen thinning during the test cannot withstand further load increase.
Stress-Strain
Area: Elongation and Reduction of Area the ductility of the test specimen can be established by measuring its length and minimum diameter before and after testing. Stretch of the specimen is represented as a percent elongation in a given length and is calculated in the following manner: % elongation = (final length - original length) x 100 original length
24
10/17/2011
Stress-Strain
The diameter of the test specimen will decrease, or neck down, in ductile materials. Another standard measure of ductility is the reduction of area of the specimen, defined as follows:
% reduction of area = (original cross-sectional area final area) x 100 original area
Stress-Strain
Hardness: Hardness This is a measure of the materials ability to resist deformation, usually determined by a standardized test where the surface resistance to indentation is measured. The most common hardness test are defined by the indentor type and size, and the amount of load applied. The two (2) most common hardness test methods are Brinell Hardness and Rockwell Hardness, with each representing a standardized test machine with its own unique hardness scales. Approximate hardness conversion numbers for a variety of materials including steels can be found in ASTM Specification E 140.
25

Material Test
Impact Test: A test to determine the behaviour of materials when subjected to high rates of loading, usually in bending, tension, or torsion. The quantity measured is the energy absorbed in breaking the specimen by a single blow, as in Charpy or Izod tests. This test is normally performed to ensure adequate ductility at the lower temperature the material will be in use. It is recognized that certain materials tend to become brittle at low temperatures and may be subject to failure which would not occur normally at usual temperatures or at elevated temperatures.
Fatigue
26
10/17/2011
What is fatigue?
Fatigue is the failure of a component due to repeated applications of load, which are referred to as cycles. An example of fatigue failure can be generated using a paper clip, bending it back and forth will cause failure in only a few cycles.
Stages of Fatigue
Fatigue failure generally consists of three stages: 1. Crack initiation 2. Stable crack growth 3. Unstable crack growth (fast fracture)
27
10/17/2011
What is a crack?
Although cracks may be created during manufacturing, they generally do not initiate until after a considerable period of usage. Cracks commonly form at metallurgical defects such as voids or inclusions, or at design features such as fillets, screw threads, or bolt holes. A crack can initiate at any highly stressed location. After a crack has initiated, it will grow for a while in a stable manner. During this stage, the crack will grow a very short distance during each load cycle.
What is a crack?
This creates pattern known as beach marks because they resemble the patterns left in sand by wave action along a beach. As cracks becomes larger, it usually grows at an increasingly rapid rate. Final failure occurs very quickly. For small components, it happens when the cross-sectional area has been reduced by the crack so much that the applied stress exceeds the ultimate strength of the material.
28
10/17/2011
What is a crack?
In larger components, fast fracture occurs when the fracture toughness of the material has been exceeded, even though the remaining crosssectional area is still large enough to keep the applied stress well below the ultimate strength.

Grain boundaries are the regions that occur when there is no alignment between grains in a polycrystalline material. Grain boundaries are important in determining the bulk properties of a material. Impurities segregate at grain boundaries if they reduce the surface energy. Diffusion is usually faster along grain boundaries than through the bulk of the material Deformation of a material can occur by relative movement of grains.

Most elements are metals. The structure of metals can be considered the packing of the spheres that most efficiently fills space. Three basic structures will be considered: face-centered cubic (fcc) body-centered cubic (bcc) hexagonal close-packed (hcp)
Ceramics are nonmetallic inorganic materials. The oxides of all metals such as FeO3, TiO2, Al2O3, and SiO2 and materials such as diamond, SiN, SiC, and Si are considered ceramics. Polymers are organic materials that consist of chains of C and H. The intrachain bonding is covalent, while the interchain bonding is van der Waals. The repeating structural units, monomers, qare linked together to form the polymer.

A For each reduction of 0.01% below the specified carbon maximum, an increase of 0.06% manganese above the specified maximum will be permitted up to a maximum of 1.35%. B These five elements combined shall not exceed 1%.
What is Creep?
Creep is plastic deformation which increases over time under sustained loading at generally elevated temperatures. Stress rupture is the continuation of creep to the point where failure takes place. At sufficiently high temp, all metals creep under stresses that vary with temp, the higher the temp the lower being the stress at which creep takes place.

Modulus of Elasticity
= PI Ae Where: P = load, pounds, kg l = length of bar, inches, cm A = cross-sectional area acted on by the axial load P, in, cm e = total strain produced by axial load P, in, mm
Stiffness, is the ability to resist deformation under stresses. The modulus of elasticity is the criterion of the stiffness of a material. Hardness, is the ability to resist very small indentations, abrasion, and plastic deformation. There is no single measure of hardness, as it is not a single property but a combination of several properties.
34
10/17/2011
Ductility, is the ability of a material to sustain large permanent deformations in tension, such as drawing into a wire. Malleability, is the ability of a material to sustain large permanent deformations in compression, such as beating or rolling into thin sheets. Brittleness, is that property of a material that permits it to be only slightly deformed without rupture. Brittle materials have relatively short stress-strain curves.
Toughness, is the ability of the material to withstand high unit stress together with great unit strain without complete fracture. Elasticity, is that property of a material that enables it to deform or undergo strain and return to its original shape upon removal of the load. Plasticity, is that state of matter where permanent deformations or strains may occur without fracture. A material is plastic if the smallest load increment produces a permanent deformation.

Proportional limit, is that unit stress at which unit strain begins to increase at a faster rate than unit stress. It is determined by noting on a stress-strain diagram thee unit stress at which the curve departs from a straight line. Yield Point, is the lowest stress at which strain increases without increase in stress. Yield Strength, is the unit stress at which material exhibits a specified permanent deformation or state. It is a measure of the useful limit of materials, particularly of those whose stress-strain curve in the region of yield smooth and gradually curved.

CORROSION RESISTANT Corrosion Resistance of steel is substantially improved by the addition of Aluminium, Silicon and Chromium. These metals form thin but dense and adherent oxide films which protect the surface of steel from further attack. Out of the elements mentioned Chromium is the most useful when mechanical properties have to be considered. STRENGTH Hardness is increased by stabilizing the carbides; strength is increased when alloying elements dissolve in the ferrite; toughness is improved by the refinement of the grain size.
Carbide is a compound of carbon with a more electropositive element or group. Ferrite is the pure iron constituent of ferrous metals, as distinguished from the iron carbides
