Radiation Heat Transfer

Image
View Factor Orientation (or View factor or shape factor) plays an important role in radiation heat transfer. View factor is defined as, "fraction of radiation leaving surface 'i' and strike 'j' ". Summation Rule (View Factor) If there is are similar surfaces 'i' and 'j' , then: Blackbody Radiation Exchange Radiation Exchange between Opaque, Diffuse, Gray surfaces in an Enclosure 1. Opaque 2. Surfaces 3. Two surface enclosure Radiation Shield It is used to protect surfaces from radiation act like a reflective surface.

Advance High Strength Steel (AHSS)

Advance High Strength Steel

  • Conventional low carbon mild steel has simpler ferritic structure (α-iron) and good ductility.
  • Common type of HSS is High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) ⇥ has yield strength  550 - 690 N/sq.mm.
  • Manganese ⇥ supporter (stabilizer) of ferrite.
Conventional HSS:
  • Is single-phase ferritic steel with a potential for some pearlite in C-Mn steel.
  • Lower strain hardening capacity.
Advance HSS:
  • primarily steel with a microstructure containing a phase other than ferrite, pearlite, cementite.
  • Higher strain hardening capacity.

Case Study of Automobile

There are three different zones in a car:
  1. Crumple Zone (Front & Back)
  2. Middle Compartment
  3. Safety Cage

Some important points about these zones are:

  • Crumple Zone  ⇥  Made with those materials which absorb maximum amount of energy.
  • Safety Cage  ⇥  Multiple areas (like cabins, structural elements).
Areas of Safety cage are described ahead:
  • Cabins (Blue Areas)  ⇥  Should have high strength with a good balance of strength, formability, energy absorption and durability.
  • Structural Elements (Red Areas)  ⇥  Safety critical parts.
Conclusion is:
  • Dual phase (DP) & Transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steels are excellent in crash zone (high energy absorption capacity), so it is used to make Crumple Zone.
  • For structural elements  ⇥  Extremely high strength steels such as Martensite and Boron-based Press Hardened (PHS) steels are used.

Advance HSS Family

  1. Dual Phase (DP)
  2. Complex Phase (CP)
  3. Ferritic Bainitic (FB)
  4. Martensite 
  5. Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) 
  6. Hot Formed (HF)
  7. Twinning Induced Plasticity (TWIP)

Dual Phase (DP) Steel

It consist of a ferritic matrix containing a hard martensite second phase in the form of island.
  • Microstructure is produced by giving steel a Sub-Critical Anneal at 800℃ and is quenched to room temperature.
  • Sub-Critical Anneal  ⇥  Heating a material (steel) lower than the equilibrium line between austenite and α-phase and then cool it.
  • Ferrite is unaffected by heat treatment but Austenite grains transformed to martensite during quenching and is tempered at low temperature to increase ductility.
  • Tempering  ⇥  heat treatment process that is performed in steels containing martensite just to relief some stresses.
  • DP Steel exhibits high work hardening rate, ultimate tensile strength, Tensile & Yield strength ratio.

Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) Steel

It consist of Austenite embedded in a primary matrix of ferrite.
  • To get retained austenite  ⇥  use Step Quenching (from Transformation Time VS Transformation Temperature Graph)
  • TRIP steel has lower initial work hardening rate than DP.
  • It uses higher quantities of carbon than DP to obtain sufficient carbon content for stabilizing the retained austenite phase to below ambient temperature.
  • Si & Al  ⇥  used to avoid carbide precipitation in the bainite region.
