AbstractComposite peening offers the opportunity to introduce ceramic blasting particles into metallic base material. By embedding Al2O3 particles, mechanical properties of aluminum can be improved. However, those surface modifications might negatively impact corrosion resistance and thus shorten the lifetime of components. This study analyzes corrosion properties of peened aluminum in chloride solution via immersion, scanning electron microscopy and polarization. The data of observed microstructures indicate that peening accelerates corrosion and that intergranular corrosion is the main force of degradation in contrast with pitting corrosion of monolithic aluminum.

Electrodeposition of only molybdenum onto substrates is difficult, therefore molybdenum is typically deposited with iron-based alloys such as nickel. The deposition of such alloys is known as an induced codeposition mechanism. The electrodeposition of nickel-molybdenum alloys using alkaline plating solutions is covered in this chapter. The mechanism for deposition of nickel-molybdenum is reviewed, as well as the influence of the plating parameters on the coatings. Characterization of the coatings by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction is discussed and how deposition parameters affect morphology, composition, and crystallite size. Nickel-molybdenum alloys offer enhanced corrosion protection and mechanical properties as coatings onto various substrates. A survey of the resulting hardness and Young's modulus is presented for several research studies. Corrosion parameters for several studies are also compared and show the percentage of molybdenum in the coatings affects these values.

The effect of Nb content on microstructure, mechanical properties and phase formation in as-melt and annealed binary Ti-Nb alloys were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The content of Nb varied in the range 25-35 mass % leading to significant changes in the microstructure. The annealed and furnace-cooled binary Ti-Nb samples exhibited HCP martensitic α` phase at a Nb content below 27.5 mass % and metastable BCC β phase at higher contents of Nb. The mechanical properties of alloys depended strongly on the Nb content and type of the dominating phase.

Polycarbonate/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PC/MWNT) nanocomposites with different contents of MWNT were successfully prepared by melt compounding. The mechanical properties of the PC/MWNT nanocomposites were effectively increased due to the incorporation of MWNTs. The composites were characterized using scanning electron microscopy in order to obtain the information on the dispersion of MWNT in the polymeric matrix. In case of 0.3 wt% of MWNT in the matrix, strength and modulus of the composite increased by 30% and 20%, respectively. In addition, the dispersion of MWNTs in the PC matrix resulted in substantial decrease in the electrical resistivity of the composites as the MWNTs loading was increased from 1.0 wt% to 1.5 wt%.

The laser-based fusion of metallic powder allows construction of components with arbitrary complexity. In selective laser melting, the rapid cooling of melt pools in the direction of the component building causes significant anisotropy of the microstructure and properties. The objective of this work is to investigate the influence of build anisotropy on the microstructure and mechanical properties in selective laser melted AlSi10Mg. The alloy is comprehensively used in the automotive industry and has been one of the most frequently investigated Al alloys in additive manufacturing. Using specimens produced in three different building orientations with respect to the build platform, the anisotropy of the microstructure and defects will be investigated using scanning electron microscopy and microcomputed tomography. The analysis showed a seven-times higher pore density for the 90°-specimen compared to the 0°-specimen. The scanning electron microscopy revealed the influence of the direction of the cooling gradient on the constitution of the eutectic phase. Mechanical properties are produced in quasi-static and fatigue tests of variable and constant loading amplitudes. Specimens of 0° showed 8% higher tensile strength compared to 90°-specimens, while fracture strain was reduced almost 30% for the 45°-specimen. The correlation between structural anisotropy and mechanical properties illustrates the influence of the building orientation during selective laser melting on foreseen fields of application.
