This paper presents the results of a microscopic investigation of fractured Storz type fire hose couplings. It is part of the authors’ previous investigations on the failure mechanisms of this type of couplings. The investigations were performed using optical and scanning electron microscopy with Field Emission Gun (FED) and X-ray Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). It is shown that the AlSi5Cu1Mg casting alloy, used for the fabrication of these couplings, presents a normal microstructure. Thus, the nucleation and growth of micro-cracks in the investigated couplings are not related to the alloy’s microstructural defects and must be generated by a different process.

AbstractAn electron microscopy investigation was performed to understand the relationship between the microstructure and properties of carbonized cellulose and lignin (softwood kraft lignin) relative to the structure of the original biomass components. Structure details at micro- and molecular levels were investigated by scanning transmission electron microscopy. Atomic-resolution images revealed the presence of random disordered carbon in carbonized cellulose (C-CNC) and of large domains of well-ordered carbon with graphite sheet structure in carbonized lignin (C-Lignin). These structural differences explain why C-CNC exhibits higher surface area and porosity than C-Lignin. The presence of certain well-ordered carbon in carbonized lignin indicates some of the carbon in lignin are graphitized with heat treatment temperature up to 950 °C. This result is encouraging for future endeavors of attaining acceptable modulus of carbon fiber from lignin given suitable modifications to the chemistry and structure of lignin. The results of this research contribute to an improved understanding of the carbonization mechanism of the key cellulose and lignin components of biomass materials.
