Abstract
The microstructure, mechanical properties and residual stress of flux-cored arc welded ASTM A516-70N carbon steel using a Mn-based low-temperature transformation (LTT) welding consumable were investigated. Microstructural analysis with X-ray diffraction, an electron backscattered diffractometer and a field-emission scanning electron microscope showed that the LTT weld metal was made up of..... More

Abstract
In this study, we characterize the viscoelastic behavior of polymers using nanoindentation. We applied the indentation representative stress approach and elastic solution to the Maxwell model and determined that there was a linear relationship between the inverses of the initial unloading stiffness and indentation unloading rate. From nanoindentation tests with..... More
