Mechanical Testing System for Study of Material Behavior in Extreme Environments
Abstract
We propose acquisition of a Gleeble high temperature materialstesting system specially equipped with capabilities for testing in ext,reme environments. The partnering institutions, Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh, both have a diverse set of DoD-sup,ported research on metallic material processing and performance that would be enhanced by acquisition of the Gleeble. The system wou,ld be utilized by students and researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. It would also be availa,ble for use by industry and researchers at other universities. The Gleeble would enable specimens to be tested under applied load at, high temperature in controlled environments, a capability currently lacking at both institutions. We propose to acquire a system wi,th the unique capability for high-temperature testing in reactive/toxic environments to support research on deposit-induced corrosio,n in sulfate-containing atmosphere. The system will also be used to generate high temperature mechanical behavior data to enable dev,elopment of processing-property relationships for additive manufacturing of new alloys for high temperature applications. Finally,, we will perform processing simulations of steels to study microstructure and property evolution after continuous casting and during, hot deformation. We intend to locate the instrument at Carnegie Mellons Mill 19 site, approximately two miles from each campus. Mi,ll19 is a Carnegie Mellon facility that is a hub for advanced manufacturing activities in the region. It is supported by on-site st,aff, the Carnegie Mellon College of Engineering, and Carnegie Mellons Environmental Health and Safety department. Locating the ins,trument here will enable access by researchers from Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh, as well as other regional univ,ersities and industry engineers. Acquisition of this system will support existing DoD-funded research and enable new research progra,ms in the performance of metallic materials at high temperatures.This abstract is approved for public release.
