Increasing the Structural Strength of Corrosion-resistant Steel for Elastic Components of Diaphragm Compressor

Abstract

The design features of diaphragm compressors are discussed in this article. For preventing the formation of local stresses in certain areas of the diaphragm, it is recommended to use thin sheet stainless steel of the transition class. A comparative analysis is made of two batches of steel tape, differing in the value of the saturation magnetic induction, which is identical to the content of the martensite phase in the structure of the material before the final cycle of cold plastic deformation. The results of the study of the influence of the deformation temperature (20-300 ºС) on the change in mechanical properties (σb, σ0.2, δ) revealed a different tendency to embrittlement of the material of the tapes for these batches. For increasing the operational reliability of the compressor's diaphragm elements, it is recommended to use a material, the structure of which contains a certain amount of workhardened retained austenite. This makes it possible to undergo additional martensitic transformation under the action of peak loads in local areas and increases the structural strength of corrosion-resistant steel for the manufacture of a compressor diaphragm.

Influence of Nitrocarburizing on Increasing the Service Life of Elastic Elements of Direct Flow Valves

“…As a result, the degree of blocking of dislocations and resistance to the process of plastic deformation decreases, especially for steel after nitrocarburizing at a temperature of 550 °C. For example, if we compare the results of studying steel after cold plastic deformation (CPD) and CPD + aging at 470 °C, then fracture occurs after 7×10 5 cycles at 700 MPa [31], and after thermochemical treatment at 550 °C, destruction occurs after 1.5×10 6 cycles. That is, the durability of the material under equal loading conditions is twice as high.…”

Improvement of Operating Properties of Heat-Resistant Alloys by the Structure Optimization

“…Fasteners of gas turbines of aircraft engines work in particularly stressed conditions under static, dynamic, and vibration loads. As a result, these parts are subject to increased reliability requirements [3].…”
