In addition to mechanical tests, fractographic analysis was done to understand the failure mechanism in the biocomposites under dynamic and ballistic impact loads. The results indicate that both quasi-static and dynamic mechanical properties of HDPE are enhanced by reinforcement with chonta palm wood particles. The biocomposites containing 25 wt % wood microparticles exhibited the highest strength, stiffness, ballistic impact resistance and impact energy absorption capability. Introduction of microparticles of chonta palm wood as reinforcement into a polymeric matrix such as HDPE is therefore a promising method to develop biocomposites with enhanced capacity to withstand dynamic impact loading and absorb impact energy.展开更多

It was found that c phase is observed in the microstructure in the as-cast condition, and it diminishes after severe cold rolling（90% reduction）. After annealing at temperatures higher than 500 up to 750 ℃, the c phase is observed in the structure, again. But, this phase is disappeared by annealing at temperatures above 750 ℃ due to the formation of vanadium-rich precipitates. Thermocalc software was used in order to elucidate the influence of vanadium percent on the stability of c phase in Fe–Co alloys. Also, magnetic studies showed that the saturation induction is reduced by annealing at temperatures from 500 up to 750 ℃, which is related to the formation of residual non-magnetic γ phase.展开更多
