Highly textured Heusler alloy Mn_(46)Ni_(42)Sn_(11)Sb_1 ribbons were prepared by melt spinning. The annealed high Mn content Mn46Ni42Sn11Sb1 ribbon cross-section microstructure, crystal structure, martensitic transformation(MT), and magnetoresistance(MR) properties were investigated. The MR in the annealed ribbon was assessed by the magnetic field direction perpendicular to the ribbon surface with the magnetic field up to 30 k Oe. The large negative value of 25% for MR was obtained at 244 K. The exchange bias(EB) effects of the as-spun and annealed ribbons were investigated. After annealing, the EB effects have been improved by about 25 Oe at the temperature of 50 K. The magnetizations have increased approximately by 10% more than the as-spun ribbon.
Blade clearance is an important technical parameter of the shear, which determines the shear quality of plate. The finite element method was used to simulate shearing process which is in the different specifications and blade clearances, and the impact on blade section and shearing force of blade clearance was analyzed. Comparing with traditional experience formulas and measured values, the limitations of the experience formulas were proved. And by contrasting with the shearing force data collected from Linfen Iron and Steel Company, the reliability of the finite element method was further proved. The simulated results show that the simulated values controlled by ductile fracture criterion and measured values are very close, and the deviation value is in the range of 4.8%-20.8%. For the same steel, if the plate is thicker, the blade clearance will be greater, and thickness and blade clearance are approximately linear. The difference between numerical simulation of the maximum shearing force and the measured results is 7.7% to 12.0%, and the simulation results are close to facts. With the increase of blade clearance and the thickness, the shearing force was increased to some degree.
