Influence of Circular through Hole in Pt–Rh Bushing on Temperature Propagation at High Temperature

Abstract

In the fiberglass industry, Pt–Rh bushings made of platinum and rhodium have very good characteristics, such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and creep resistance. In this paper, a semi-infinite lath structure model is constructed, and the expression of the surface temperature distribution of a Pt–Rh alloy plate with a circular through hole is obtained based on the non-Fourier heat conduction equation, complex function method and conformal mapping method. At the same time, the influence of the position of the circular through hole in the Pt–Rh bushing and the parameters of the incident light source (Non-diffusion incident wave number and relative thermal diffusion length) on the surface temperature distribution of the Pt–Rh bushing is studied by using this formula. It is found that: 1. heat concentration and fracture are occur easily at the through hole; 2. when the through hole is in the asymmetric center, the greater the asymmetry, the smaller the maximum temperature amplitude; 3. when the buried depth of the through hole increases, the maximum temperature amplitude decreases; 4. when the incident wave number and the relative thermal diffusion length of the incident light source are larger, the maximum temperature amplitude is smaller. The numerical results are almost consistent with those of ANSYS thermal simulation. The expression of the surface temperature distribution of the semi-infinite lath structure proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the loss of precious metal materials and the time of thermal simulation in the experimental process, as well as provide important significance for structural design, quality inspection, process optimization, and service life improvement of Pt–Rh bushings.

Mechanical Performance and Microstructural Evolution of Rotary Friction Welding of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene and Polycarbonate Rods

“…Materials 2023, 16, x FOR PEER REVIEW 3 of 17 weld joint was determined using an infrared thermal imager. The COMSOL multiphysics software [24][25][26] was also employed to predict the peak temperature in the weld joint and to compare the results obtained by the experiment. After RFW, the mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of the friction-welded parts were characterized using Shore A hardness, three-point bending, and impact tests.…”

Experimentation and Numerical Modeling of Peak Temperature in the Weld Joint during Rotary Friction Welding of Dissimilar Plastic Rods

“…In general, the major shortcomings of the trial-and-error method involve random efforts and energy consumption. It is well known that the [21][22][23][24][25] thermal analysis solutions can solve the most complex thermal challenges to predict the temperature. Unfortunately, hitherto little is known about the domain knowledge of the RFW of ABS and PC polymer rods.…”
