WANG Xiao-xu, CHEN Li. Experimental Study on Pull-out Strength of Z-pins[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(11): 1-4.
The pull-out strength of Z-pins was tested by the single Z-pin pull-out tests from the composite laminates,the critical embedded length has been calculated and tensile strength utilization ratio was introduced to characterize the utilization degree of tensile strength of Z-pins during the pull-out processes.The results show that,the critical embedded depth of the Z-pins with the diameter of 0.50mm and that of 0.28mm are 5.1mm and 3.1mm respectively.And,when the embedded depth is below the critical depth,Z-pins pull-out from the laminates and the pull-out strength of the Z-pins is proportional to the embedded depth,and is inversely proportional to the diameter.When the embedded depth is equal to or greater than the critical depth,breaks occur in the Z-pins,and the tensile strength utilization ratio of Z-pins reaches 100%.Finally,some suggestions for improving tensile strength utilization ratio of Z-pins were put forward.
XU Xing-wen, ZHAO Hai-tao, ZHANG Gang, LI Xi-kun. Study of In-situ Synthesis and Properties of Ni-Zn-La Ferrite/Polyaniline Nanocomposite[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(11): 5-8.

ZHAO Guo-zhang, SHI Li-yi, ZHUO Jing, FENG Xin, DING Peng, FU Ji-fang. Study on Preparation and Properties of Attapulgite Reinforced Natural Rubber Nanocomposites[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(11): 9-14,79.
Attapulgite(AT) reinforced natural rubber(NR) nanocomposites were prepared by mechanical compounding.The microstructures,mechanical properties and curing characteristics of the nanocomposites were investigated.The reinforcement mechanism of AT in NR was clarified.The results show that the modified AT exhibited outstanding reinforcement due to its homogeneous dispersion in the NR matrix and the strong polymer-filler interactions.AT needles not only act as crosslink points during the vulcanization,but also orient along the stretch direction and thus induce crystallization when the samples were stretched.The strain-induced crystallization of the nanocomposites is associated with the filler loading and the crosslink density on the surfaces of AT needles.Different modifiers result in different crosslinking characteristics,and affect the strain-induced crystallization and stress-stain behaviors of the nanocomposites.The layer-chain structure of AT is not influenced by the modification and mechanical compounding.

ZHONG Yi, LIN Jian, LEI Yong-ping, YIN Lan-li. Numerical Simulation of Lap-shear Strength of Self-piercing Riveting Joint[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(11): 18-22.
The numerical simulation method for predicting the lap shear strength of self-piercing riveting(SPR) joint is studied.The finite element models of 0.7mm low carbon steel+0.7mm low carbon steel similar material and 0.7mm low carbon steel+2mm AA6061 dissimilar material SPR joints are established based on the experimental results.Then,considering the contact conditions between the different parts of the SPR joint,the lap shear processes of these SPR joints are simulated.It can be seen from the simulating results that the failure modes of the similar and dissimilar materials SPR joints are different: for the steel-steel similar material SPR joint,the rivet is pulled out from the joint while the failure occurs in the base metal for steel-Al dissimilar materials SPR joint.Finally,experiments of SPR joint's lap shear process are carried out to validate the simulating results.It is shown that the simulating results of SPR joint's shear strength have a good agreement with the experimental results.That suggests the developed FE model,considering the contact conditions of the materials and the joint's shape,can be used to predict the shear strength and failure mode of SPR joint.

Tests were carried out on a Gleeble-3500 simulator to simulate the low temperature rolling process for a newly developed non-quenched and tempered cold heading steel.The effects of deformation and cooling rate on microstructure transformation were analyzed.The results show that the microstructure of the steel is mainly granular bainite when the cooling rate is above 5℃/s.The matrix of the granular bainite changes from massive shape to lath shape with the increasing of cooling rate.The deformation of austenite not only promotes the nucleation and growth of ferrite,but also has an influence on the microstructure of granular bainite.Large deformation induces ferrite transformation.The hardness testing suggests that the hardness decreases with the increasing of deformation.

FAN Meng-ting, SUN Ming-yue, LI Dian-zhong. Simulation and Optimization of Heat Treatment Process for Large Press Die Holder[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2011, 0(11): 44-50.
Database of thermal-physical parameters and CCT curves of 55NiCrMoV7 steel were firstly obtained by experimental study.Based on the commercial FEM software ABAQUS,the models of oil-quenching and water-quenching for a large press die holder were established separately,the temperature and stress evolution were calculated for each process.Combined with the cooling rates of each node and CCT curves of 55NiCrMoV7,the final microstructure and stress distribution on the die holder were predicted.According to the FEM results,upper bainite can be obtained in the surface layer by oil quenching,while lower bainite can be obtained under water cooling condition.However,cracks are easily generated in the inner chamfer by water quenching because of the severe stress concentration.On basis of the analysis,double quenching process was proposed to avoid crack and obtain lower bainite,the simulation results show that 30min water-cooling before oil-cooling is favorable toward safe production and optimizing the microstructure of the die holder.

Due to the fine grinding WC-Co substrate which has been polished to provide a keen/cutting edge must be pretreated before depositing CVD diamond coating.However,conventional chemical etching methods may have the drawbacks of difficulties in corrosion efficiency and process repeatability for its large-scale applications.An investigation had been carried out to study the influence of the two-step DC electrochemical pretreatment(firstly using DC electrolytic etching,and then using acid etching) on the fine grinding cemented carbide substrates and diamond coatings by means of Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM),profilometer,Atom Absorption Spectrometry(AAS),Energy dispersive X-ray diffraction analysis(EDXA) and Rockwell hardness tester respectively.The results showed that the two-step DC electrochemical pretreatment method can effectively remove the "skin" of grinding substrates surface and reduce the Co content.Through changing the electrolytic time,the relationship amongst substrate surface roughness,the substrate surface Co concentration removal and the hardness of substrate surface after Co removed are balanced,and effectively control CVD diamond coating from microcrystalline cubic-octahedron to cauliflower type nanocluster transformation process,which has a good controllability.According to the substrate/coating hardness,coating quality and coating adhesion strength testing results,optimized the best process parameters of the two-step DC electrochemical pretreatment method at fine grinding cemented carbide substrates,which firstly using DC(direct current) 1A electrolytic etching for 5 minutes in 10% sodium hydroxide(NaOH) solution,and then etched in an aqua regia(HNO3:3HCl:H2O=1:1:1) solution for 90 seconds.
