Investigation of Erosion Corrosion Caused by Drinking Water in the Faucet with Computational Fluid Dynamics

In this study,the reason for erosion-corrosion of drinking or mains water in the faucet was investigated by computational fluid dynamics.Pipes used in homes,the service sector,and industry are responsible for transporting different types of fluids from one place to another.Considering the faucet design,the SolidWorks program was used for 3D studies.In-faucet flow analyses were performed using Ansys Fluent,a computational fluid dynamics program based on the finite volume method.In the analyses,lime particles were chosen.At the end of the analysis,the amount of erosion in the faucet was obtained.

限制模压变形法提高AA6063铝合金的力学性能和耐腐蚀性

利用限制模压变形(CGP)法对AA6063铝合金进行塑性变形,改善其表面性能。结果发现,在第一道次后,合金的硬度值显著提高,硬度均匀性显著降低。而经后续的道次后,加工材料的硬度行为得到改善。此外,道次数增加后,在CGP第一道次中形成的细长晶粒逐渐转变为等轴晶粒。通过CGP工艺,样品的耐腐蚀性能提高,这是因为钝化膜的快速形成以及第二相和析出物形貌的变化阻碍它们的电化学反应,减少潜在的局部腐蚀位点。

Wear Behavior of Aluminum Matrix Hybrid Composites Fabricated through Friction Stir Welding Process

Effects of friction stir processing（FSP）parameters and reinforcements on the wear behavior of 6061-T6 based hybrid composites were investigated.A mathematical formulation was derived to calculate the wear volume loss of the composites.The experimental results were contrasted with the results of the proposed model.The influences of sliding distance,tool traverse and rotational speeds,as well as graphite（Gr）and titanium carbide（TiC）volume fractions on the wear volume loss of the composites were also investigated using the prepared formulation.The results demonstrated that the wear volume loss of the composites significantly increased with increasing sliding distance,tool traverse speed,and rotational speed;while the wear volume loss decreased with increasing volume fraction of the reinforcements.A minimum wear volume loss for the hybrid composites with complex reinforcements was specified at the inclusion ratio of 50% TiC＋50% Al2O3 because of improved lubricant ability,as well as resistance to brittleness and wear.New possibilities to develop wear-resistant aluminum-based composites for different industrial applications were proposed.
