Abstract The main aim of the present work is to see the performance of “Al–Beryl” composites processed via stir casting route with or without CeO2 on their mechanical, wear and corrosive properties for structural applications in heavy machinery and watercrafts. Hardness and ultimate tensile strength increased with 36% and 43%, respectively, with 9% Beryl addition. Further, effect of addition of constant 0.5 wt.% CeO2 in “Al–Beryl” composite was evaluated and remarkably improvement in corrosion resistance was observed. Tribological performance of the composites was investigated by conducting sliding wear tests against steel at different loads in dry and wet conditions. Characteristic features of adhesion, fracture and delamination were observed in SEM micrograph of the worn composite having low beryl content slid in air whereas abrasive wear predominates in water or oil. Addition of increased wt.% of beryl particles led in reduced wear of the composite at all loads. Increase in corrosion resistance by 45% decrease in weight loss with 0.5% CeO2 addition was observed. “Al6061–9% Beryl–0.5% CeO2” composite with high hardness, wear and corrosion resistance is found most promising for structural applications. Article Highlights An increase of 36% in hardness and 43% in ultimate tensile strength was found in Al composites with 9% Beryl addition; Coefficient of friction was found least for “Beryl–CeO2” added composites in wet sliding conditions; A transition in wear mechanism occurred with adhesion, fracture and delamination of the worn composite with low beryl content slid in air; Corrosion resistance increased by 45% with 0.5% CeO2 addition in Al composites.

AbstractOn the basis of creep strength, ultimate tensile strength and oxidation resistance, seven intermetallic compounds with melting temperatures above 1600°C have been selected as possible candidate materials for high temperature structural applications in advanced aero-turbines. These compounds, Nb3Al, Cr3Si, Co2Nb, Cr2Nb, MoSi2, Mo5Si3 and Nb2Al, have been evaluated and their properties reported herein. All seven of the compounds displayed excellent creep resistance at 1200°C with Mo5Si3 and Nb2Al being the strongest. Nb3Al, with the precipitation of the niobium solid solution displayed the greatest low temperature toughness. The greatest ultimate tensile strengths were observed for Co2Nb and MoSi2, while MoSi2 was by far the most oxidation resistant.

Purpose Sound microstructure components are necessary for reliability and safety; hence, these components are used in aircraft, satellite, automobiles and ships, where many commercial alloys are not suitable. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach AA6082/Si3N4 and AA6082/SiC composites were fabricated using the stir-casting process considering 5, 10 and 15 vol.% of reinforcement particles. Density and porosity of AA6082/Si3N4 and AA6082/SiC composites were calculated. Characterization was done using an X-ray (EDX) detector, attached to SEM. The effect of addition of Si3N4 and SiC particulates in the AA6082 was investigated. Findings Results showed that Si3N4 and SiC particulates had good wettability with AA6082 and were uniformly distributed in AA6082 matrix. No adverse effects of reactions were noticed in the microstructure of AA6082/Si3N4 and AA6082/SiC composites. Research limitations/implications AA6082 with more than 15 vol.% of Si3N4 and AA6082/SiC reinforcement particles do not find industrial application where high hardness and tensile strength are required. Practical implications Components made from AA6082/Si3N4 and AA6082/SiC composites find their application where high hardness with better tensile strength is required. Social implications Naturally and locally available materials are utilized for fabrication. Originality/value Little work is available in the literature on fabrication and characterization of AA6082/Si3N4 and AA6082/SiC composites. The authors have identified the process parameters at which proper fabrication is done and sound microstructure is obtained.

AbstractThis paper studied the effect of extrusion on the microstructures and tensile properties of 4 vol.% 5 μm SiCp/Al2014 composites fabricated by stir casting. It has been found that extrusion could refine the α-Al grains, increase the distributed homogeneity of SiC particles, decrease the porosity of the composites, and improve the interfacial bonding strength. The tensile properties, especially the ductility, of the fine SiCp/Al2014 composites were significantly improved by extrusion. Compared with the as-cast 4 vol.% 5 μm SiCp/Al2014 composites, the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and fracture strain of the extruded composites increased from 242 MPa, 367 MPa, and 3.8% to 304 MPa, 530 MPa, and 11.2%, which were increased by 25.6%, 44.4%, and 195%, respectively.

Al-Si-Mg reinforced with Al2O3 nano particles have been made by stir casting method. The vortex produced by stirrer is to distribute the Al2O3 nano particles in the molten aluminium. The volume fraction of Al2O3 nano particles was varied from 0.5, 1, 2, 3, to 5 Vf%, while the addition of magnesium was 3 Vf% as wetting agent to improve the wettability between Al2O3 nano particle and Al-Si-Mg matrix. The effect of Al2O3 on characteristic of Al-Si-Mg composites was studied. It is found that the presence of Al2O3nano particle led to significant improve in mechanical properties, especially at addition of 0.5 Vf% Al2O3. The ultimate tensile strength reached to 154 MPa with 10.24 % elongation, while the hardness reached to 37.7 HRB followed by decrement in wear rate. The porosity level tend to increase with increasing of Al2O3 and caused decrement in mechanical properties.

In this work, the effects of an addition of trace alloying elements, Fe and Cr, on the mechanical and electrical properties and corrosion resistance of Cu-3Ti alloy foils, have been investigated. The results showed that the individual addition of Fe leads to the formation of Fe2Ti intermetallic phase, which refines the grain size, in the solution-treated condition. With a combined addition of Fe and Cr, the formation of the (FeCr)2Ti phase and the precipitation of the β′-Cu4Ti phase resulted in increased hardness in the peak-aged condition. The ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the peak-aged Cu-Ti-Fe-Cr alloy were 13% and 5.7% higher, than those of the Cu-3Ti alloy, respectively. The electrical conductivity of the peak-aged Cu-Ti-Fe-Cr alloy was 3.3% higher than that of the Cu-Ti-Fe alloy, due to the finer (FeCr)2Ti phase and the less residual Ti atoms, in the Cu matrix. The combined addition of Fe and Cr elements could improve the corrosion resistance of the Cu-Ti alloy. The Cu-Ti-Fe-Cr alloy foil could obtain the best integrated properties, and the hardness, ultimate tensile strength, and electrical conductivity were 357.1 HV, 1068 MPa and 12.5% IACS, respectively.

Al based-Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites (HMMC) are becoming widely popular in the Automobile industry due to its highly attractive characteristics of enhanced hardness. The heterogeneous mixture formed due to the presence of reinforcement particles adds to the strength, wear resistance, hardness etc. to the specimen. In this research, fine ashes of bagasse (sugarcane), banana, and jute (coconut covering) were used, produced by burning the above in free atmosphere. The sample was sieve tested to 200 mesh size and ball milled in the presence of SiC with weight ratio of 1:2. Stir casting of the composite was performed in the melting furnace to produce different specimens of Al6061 consisting of different types of reinforcement. The specimens were then exposed to various tests to determine Ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, hardness, and percentage elongation. The best results termed out with the specimen reinforced with banana ash at the cost of loss in ductility exhibiting Ultimate tensile strength 115.4 MPa, Yield Strength 76.4 MPa, Vickers hardness 55-77 HV and Percentage elongation 21%.

The Mg–Zn–Zr–Gd alloys belong to a group of biometallic alloys suitable for bone substitution. While biocompatibility arises from the harmlessness of the metals, the biocorrosion behavior and its origins remain elusive. Here, aiming for the tailored biodegradability, we prepared the Mg–2.0Zn–0.5Zr–xGd (wt %) alloys with different Gd percentages (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), and studied their microstructures and biocorrosion behavior. Results showed that adding a moderate amount of Gd into Mg–2.0Zn–0.5Zr alloys will refine and homogenize α-Mg grains, change the morphology and distribution of (Mg, Zn)3Gd, and lead to enhancement of mechanical properties and anticorrosive performance. At the optimized content of 3.0%, the fishbone-shaped network, ellipsoidal, and rod-like (Mg, Zn)3Gd phase turns up, along with the 14H-type long period stacking ordered (14H-LPSO) structures decorated with nanoscale rod-like (Mg, Zn)3Gd phases. The 14H-LPSO structure only exists when x ≥ 3.0, and its content increases with the Gd content. The Mg–2.0Zn–0.5Zr–3.0Gd alloy possesses a better ultimate tensile strength of 204 ± 3 MPa, yield strength of 155 ± 3 MPa, and elongation of 10.6 ± 0.6%. Corrosion tests verified that the Mg–2.0Zn–0.5Zr–3.0Gd alloy possesses the best corrosion resistance and uniform corrosion mode. The microstructure impacts on the corrosion resistance were also studied.
