Date:2021-09-18 15:30:42 Views:1773

The failure form of metal materials is closely related to the failure cause. The failure form is the apparent characteristic of the material failure process, which can be observed in a proper way. The failure reason is the physical and chemical mechanism leading to component failure, which needs to be diagnosed and demonstrated through the investigation and research of failure process and the macro and micro analysis of failed parts. This paper collects and arranges some relevant data of metal material testing, hoping that this paper can be of great reference value to all readers.

Metal materials generally refer to pure metals or alloys in industrial applications, including iron, copper, aluminum, tin, nickel, gold, silver, lead, zinc and so on. The alloy usually refers to two or more metals or materials with metallic properties formed by the combination of metal and non-metal. Metal materials are usually divided into ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals and special metal materials.

金属材料失效分析检测基础知识汇总

Common types of metal material failure:

Failure caused by improper design (unreasonable structural design, insufficient design hardness, improper material selection and unreasonable material state requirements);

Failure caused by material defects (porosity, segregation, subcutaneous bubbles, shrinkage cavities, non-metallic inclusions, white spots, non-metallic inclusions, surface corrosion, etc.);

Failure caused by casting defects (shrinkage cavity and porosity, white mouth and anti white mouth, poor spheroidization of nodular cast iron, slag inclusion, segregation carbide, casting crack, graphite floating, etc.);

Failure caused by forging defects (overheating and overburning, forging cracks, hot embrittlement and copper embrittlement, forging folding, high temperature oxidation, insufficient annealing, forging white spots, forging streamline defects, etc.);

Failure caused by welding defects (welding crack, incomplete penetration and fusion, improper welding preheating, slag inclusion and porosity, intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion);

Failure caused by heat treatment defects (quenching cracks, surface decarburization, carburizing / nitriding defects, tempering cracks, etc.);

Failure caused by cold forming defects (grinding defects, cutting defects, cold heading defects, punching / extrusion / tensile forming defects, etc.).
