The addition of fibres or particles (TiB2, SiC etc.) into TiAl intermetallic alloys could increase their toughness without compromising their good high temperature mechanical and chemical properties. This paper briefly discribes the microstructure developed by a TiAl/TiB2 composite material fabricated with the XD™ process and forged at 960°C.The specimens for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were prepared in the usual way (i.e. diamond polishing and argon ion beam thinning) and examined on a JEOL 4000EX for microstucture and on a Philips 400T equipped with a SiLi detector for microanalyses.The matrix was predominantly γ (TiAl with L10 structure) and α2(TisAl with DO 19 structure) phases with various morphologies shown in figure 1.

Diamond-point turning is an efficient technique for machining low-density polystyrene foam, and the surface finish can be substantially improved by grinding. However, both diamond-point turning and grinding tend to tear and fracture cell walls and leave asperities formed by agglomerations of fragmented cell walls. Vibratoming is proving to be an excellent technique to form planar surfaces in polystyrene, and the machining characteristics of vibratoming and diamond-point turning are compared.Our work has demonstrated that proper evaluation of surface structures in low density polystyrene foam requires stereoscopic examinations; tilts of + and − 3 1/2 degrees were used for the stereo pairs. Coating does not seriously distort low-density polystyrene foam. Therefore, the specimens were gold-palladium coated and examined in a Hitachi S-800 FESEM at 5 kV.

Abstract AISI 1141 is a resulfurized carbon steel containing nominally 1.50% manganese and 0.08-0.13% sulfur to give it free-machining characteristics. It has relatively low hardenability. Its ductility and toughness are fairly good in the longitudinal direction but tend to be low in the transverse direction. It is highly recommended for high-production automatic-machine products. Among its many uses are screws, bolts, ball joints, spindles and light-duty gears. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: CS-93. Producer or source: Carbon steel mills.

Abstract FREE-CUTTING BRASS is a highly leaded copper-zinc alloy, combining free-machining characteristics with good mechanical and corrosion resistant properties, suited to high production in automatic screw machines. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and shear strength. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Cu-112. Producer or source: Brass mills.

Abstract MUELLER Alloy 1450 (formerly MBCo Alloy 799) is a high-conductivity copper containing sufficient small copper telluride particles to provide free-machining characteristics superior to those of any other high-conductivity copper. It has the same general corrosion resistance as copper. It is used widely for electrical or thermal conductors requiring extensive machining and for screw-machine products requiring a color that matches pure copper. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on high temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Cu-389. Producer or source: Mueller Brass Company.

Abstract Mueller Alloy C27451 has excellent machining characteristics for forged and machined applications required to meet AB1953. The alloy is an improvement over C27450 (See Alloy Digest Cu-820, June 2013) in that it is both lead-free and dezincification resistant. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: Cu-849. Producer or source: Mueller Brass Company.

Abstract AL Tech 203EZ and 303EZ are non-magnetic, austenitic, free-machining stainless steels specifically designed for use in high-speed, automatic machining operations. These modifications retain, in so far as possible, the good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the basic compositions which they represent. Sulfur or selenium is added to produce the free-machining characteristics. Data are typical; do not use for specification or final design. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on high temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-358. Producer or source: AL Tech Specialty Steel Corporation.
