Interface analysis of 7B52 Al alloy laminated composite fabricated by hot-roll bonding

The bonding interface of 7B52 Al alloy laminated composite （ALC） fabricated by hot rolling was investigated using optical microscopy （OM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, ultrasonic flaw detection （UFD）, and bonding strength tests. The results show that metallurgical bonding is achieved at the interface after composite rolling. The TEM analysis and tensile tests indicate that the 7B52 ALC plate combines high strength of the hard individual layer and good toughness of the soft individual layer. However, UFD technology and SEM analysis prove that the defects （thick oxide films, acid washed residues, air, oil and coarse particles） existing in the bonding interface are harmful to the bonding strength. To sum up, the composite roiling process is suitable for 7B52 ALC plate, and the content and size of the defects should be controlled strictly. Advanced surface treatment of each individual layer would be beneficial to further improve the bonding quality.

Analysis of phase in Cu-15%Cr-0.24%Zr alloy

The vacuum medium-frequency induction melting technology was employed to prepare the Cu-15%Cr-0.24%Zr alloy. The scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM） were used to analyze the phase composition, morphology and structure of the alloy. The results reveal that the as-cast structure of the alloy consists of Cu matrix, Cr dendrite, eutectic Cr and Zr-rich phase. A large number of Cr-precipitated phases occur in the Cu matrix, and Cu5Zr particles can be found in the grain boundary of Cu matrix. The HRTEM images prove that there is a semi-coherent relationship between Cu5Zr and Cu matrix.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of AM60B magnesium alloy prepared by cyclic extrusion compression

The cyclic extrusion compression （CEC） process was introduced into the AM60B magnesium alloy. The use of the CEC process was favorable for producing finer microstructures. The results show that the microstructure can be effectively refined with increasing the number of CEC passes. Once a critical minimum grain size was achieved, subsequent passes did not have any noticeable refining effect. As expected, the fine-grained alloy has excellent mechanical properties. The micro-hardness, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure of two-pass CEC formed alloy are 72.2, 183.7 MPa, 286.3 MPa and 14.0%, but those of as-cast alloy are 62.3, 64 MPa, 201 MPa and 11%, respectively. However, there is not a clear improvement of mechanical properties with further increase in number of CEC passes in AM60B alloy. The micro-hardness, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure of four-pass CEC formed alloy are 73.5, 196 MPa, 297 MPa and 16%, respectively.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of laser additive repaired Ti17 titanium alloy

Laser additive manufacturing technology with powder feeding was employed to repair wrought Ti17titanium alloy with small surface defects.The microstructure,micro-hardness and room temperature tensile properties of laser additive repaired(LARed)specimen were investigated.The results show that,cellular substructures are observed in the laser deposited zone(LDZ),rather than the typicalαlaths morphology due to lack of enough subsequent thermal cycles.The cellular substructures lead to lower micro-hardness in the LDZ compared with the wrought substrate zone which consists of duplex microstructure.The tensile test results indicate that the tensile deformation process of the LARed specimen exhibits a characteristic of dramatic plastic strain heterogeneity and fracture in the laser repaired zone with a mixed dimple and cleavage mode.The tensile strength of the LARed specimen is slightly higher than that of the wrought specimen and the elongation of11.7%is lower.

Effect of iron addition on microstructure, mechanical and magnetic properties of Al-matrix composite produced by powder metallurgy route

The effect of iron addition on the microstructure, mechanical and magnetic properties of Al-matrix composite was studied. Mechanical mixing was used for the preparation of 0, 5%, 10% and 15% Fe-Al composites（mass fraction）. Mixtures of Al-Fe were compacted and sintered in a vacuum furnace at 600 °C for 1 h. X-ray diffraction（XRD） of the samples containing 5% and 10% Fe indicates the presence of Al and Fe peaks, while sample containing 15% Fe reveals Al and Al13Fe4 peaks. The results show that both densification and thermal conductivity of the composites decrease by increasing the iron content. The presence of iron in the composite improves the compressive strength and the hardness. The strengthening mechanism is associated with the grain refinement of the matrix and uniform distribution of the Fe particles, as well as the formation of Al13Fe4 intermetallic. The measured magnetization values are equal to 0.3816×10-3 A·m2/g for 5% Fe sample and increases up to 0.6597×10-3 A·m2/g for 10% Fe sample, then decreases to 0.0702×10-3 A·m2/g for 15% Fe sample. This can be explained by the formation of the diamagnetic Al13Fe4 intermetallic compound in the higher Fe content sample detected by XRD analysis.

Friction behavior of Ti-30Fe composites strengthened by TiC particles

Ti-Fe-x TiC(x=0, 3, 6, 9, wt.%) composites were fabricated through low temperature ball milling of Ti, Fe and TiC powders, followed by spark plasma sintering. The results show that β-Ti, β-Ti-Fe, η-Ti4 Fe2 O0.4 and TiC particles can be found in the composites. The microstructure can be obviously refined with increasing the content of TiC particles. The coefficient of friction(COF) decreases and the hardness increases with increasing the content of TiC particles. The adhesive wear is the dominant wear mechanism of all the Ti-Fe-x TiC composites. The Ti-Fe-6 TiC composite shows the best wear resistance, owing to the small size and high content of TiC particle as well as relatively fine microstructure. The wear rate of the Ti-Fe-6 TiC composite is as low as 1.869× 10-5 mm3/(N·m) and the COF is only 0.64. Therefore, TiC particle reinforced Ti-Fe based composites may be utilized as potential wear resistant materials.

Corrosion influence on surface appearance and microstructure of compo cast ZA27/SiC_p composites in sodium chloride solution

The influence of corrosion on the surface appearance and microstructure of particulate ZA27/SiCp composites was examined after 30 d immersion in a sodium chloride solution with the access of atmospheric oxygen. The composites with different contents of SiC micro-particles were synthesized via compo casting. Microstructural studies by means of optical microscopy （OM） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） showed that corrosion occurred in the composite matrices, preferentially in regions of the η phase, rich in zinc. The corrosion processes did not affect the silicon carbide particles incorporated in the matrix alloy. According to the results of electrochemical polarization measurements, an increase in the content of SiC particles in the composite matrice has led to the lower corrosion resistance in the composites.

Microstructure and dry sliding wear behavior of Cu-Sn alloy reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotubes

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes （MWCNTs） reinforced Cu-Sn alloy based nanocomposite was developed by powder metallurgy route. The mass fraction of CNTs was varied from 0 to 2% in a step of 0.5%. The developed nanocomposites were subjected to density, hardness, electrical conductivity, and friction and wear tests. The results reveal that the density of nanocomposite decreases with the increase of the mass fraction of CNTs. A significant improvement in the hardness is noticed in the nanocomposite with the addition of CNTs. The developed nanocomposites show low coefficient of friction and improved wear resistance when compared with unreinforced alloy. At an applied load of 5 N, the coefficient of friction and wear loss of 2%CNTs reinforced Cu-Sn alloy nanocomposite decrease by 72% and 68%, respectively, compared with those of Cu-Sn alloy. The wear mechanisms of worn surfaces of the composites are reported. In addition, the electrical conductivity reduces with the increase of the content of CNTs.

Corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of Ti6Al4V/xTiN composites for biomedical applications

The corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of Ti6Al4V/xTiN(x=0,5,10 and 15,vol.%)composites fabricated by solid-state sintering and their relationship with the microstructure and microhardness were investigated.Simulated body conditions such as a temperature of 37℃ and a simulated body fluid were used.The main results demonstrated a microstructural change caused by theα-Ti stabilization due to solid-solution of nitrogen(N)into the titanium(Ti)lattice,producing a maximum hardening effect up to 109%for the Ti64 matrix by using 15 vol.%TiN.Corrosion potentials of composites changed to more noble values with the TiN particle addition,while corrosion current density of samples increased as an effect of the remaining porosity,decreasing the corrosion resistance of materials.However,changes to a less passive behavior were observed for samples with 15 vol.%TiN.The non-passive behavior of composites resulted in the reduction of the potential drops during rubbing in tribocorrosion tests.Besides,an improvement of up to 88%of the wear rate of composites was seen from the solid-solution hardening.The results allowed to understand the relationship between composition and sintering parameters with the improved tribocorrosion performance of materials.

Hybrid terahertz metamaterial structure formed by assembling a split ring resonator with a metal mesh

We propose a novel metamaterial structure operating at the terahertz band. This structure is assembled by a split ring resonator (SRR) with a metal mesh within a unit cell. Our experimental studies on the composite structure indicate that the coupling of the SRR and metal mesh significantly contribute to the transparency at the terahertz range. Moreover, we experimentally demonstrated the verity of transmission peak of this structure by changing the relative positions of the SRR and the metal mesh. The simulated electric field redistributions support the dependence between position of the two components and the transmission response. This study is the first to report a hybrid metamaterial structure consisting of an SRR array and a metal mesh within a unit cell. The designed process and resonance characteristics of this composite structure make it an excellent candidate for developing tunable terahertz components via integration with the MEMS (Micro Electronic Mechanical System) technology.
