Abstract:
Engineering design refers to the design of manufactured products made up of various kinds of materials. Materials play a major role in meeting some of the necessary functions at the early design level. A lengthy and complicated process is the procurement of a material for design purposes. For an engineering application, more than one material is often suitable, and the final selection is a balance that offers both benefits and drawbacks. Throughout the choosing of materials, screening and ranking are two fundamental principles. This study would concentrate on materials that can survive extreme temperatures and conditions, especially on the planet Venus. A temperature at 467 ℃ and a high pressure about 90 times that of Earth are the established Venus planetary conditions. The materials selection criteria are defined based on Venus environmental conditions, by considering 600 ℃ and 9.1MPa as the hypothesis testing baseline. This is done to prepare for any sudden temperature rise and to guarantee the application safety. Thus, the candidate materials for this condition are 304, 316, and 321 stainless steel, Inconel nickel chromium alloy 625, HAYNES 242, and HASTELLOY X. These materials will be compared based on their machinal and physical properties at the testing baseline.
