The paper present theoretical and practical aspects concerning to the phenomena of thermal / mechanical fatigue specific to metallic materials, which are found in the structure of industrial parts, subjected to thermal and mechanical requests, also in combination with the corrosion phenomenon, pressure different etc. The analyzed alloys subjected to thermal and mechanical fatigue requests, on a prototype testing installation, using samples from Cu-Zn-Al alloys, which have been processed at standard dimensions by machining. Function of chemical composition of alloy, after a variable number of cycles it was found the micro-cracks appearance that generates crack and finally the break of samples. The SEM realized at different magnifications, highlight the character of samples break.

The surface of AZ31 magnesium substrate is coated by Zn-Al alloys using cast-penetrated cladding. The transverse section of alloy cladding is composed of cladding zone, diffusional zone, and bonding zone. The microstructure evolution, phase constitution, and chemical composition of the transition layer are studied. The experimental results exhibit cladding zone contained dendrite matrix and interdendritic eutectic structures. The plume eutectic structure and columnar eutectic structure are formed in diffusional zone and bonding zone, respectively. Zn and Al solid solutions gradually decrease and disappear owing to the diffusion of magnesium atom and the changes of magnesium element concentration. Mg7Zn3 phases are generated rapidly due to the interdiffusion of zinc and magnesium atoms rapidly in the diffusional zone and bonding zone. As Mg-Zn eutectic phases hinder the movement of Mg and Al atoms, the Mg-Al intermetallic compounds are eliminated completely. The microstructure is transformed into Mg solid solution and Mg7Zn3 eutectic structure to combine with AZ31 base metal.

The possibilities of metallurgical preparation of 40Nb-60Al and 15W-85Al intermetallic compounds (in at.%) by plasma arc melting (PAM) and vacuum induction melting (VIM) were studied. Both methods allow easy preparation of Nb–Al alloys; however, significant evaporation of Al was observed during the melting, which affected the resulting chemical composition. The preparation of W–Al alloys was more problematic because there was no complete re-melting of W during PAM and VIM. However, the combination of PAM and VIM allowed the preparation of W–Al alloy without any non-melted parts. The microstructure of Nb–Al alloys consisted of Nb2Al and NbAl3 intermetallic phases, and W–Al alloys consisted mainly of needle-like WAl4 intermetallic phase and Al matrix. The effects of melting conditions on chemical composition, homogeneity, and microstructure were determined. Differential thermal analysis was used to determine melting and phase transformation temperatures of the prepared alloys.

Corrosion behavior of 7N01 Al alloy is sensitive to chemical composition. In this paper, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and electrochemical behaviors of A7N01S-T5 Al alloys with three different chemical compositions were investigated. The corrosion weight loss and corrosion pits depth statistics showed that Alloy #3 (4.53 wt .% Zn , 1.27% Mg , < 0.001% Cu , 0.24% Cr , 0.15% Zr ) possesses the best anti-SCC property, while Alloy #1 (4.54% Zn , 1.09% Mg , 0.102% Cu , 0.25% Cr , 0.15% Zr ) was the weakest one. The different SCC susceptibility was mainly related to the Cu content as Alloy #3 contains higher Cu than Alloys #1 and #2. Electrochemical test result showed that Alloy #3 has higher corrosion potential and lower corrosion current density than Alloys #1 and #2. It is believed that a trace Cu can significantly improve the SC resistance of Al alloy, mainly because that Cu element can reduce the potential difference between grain inside and grain boundaries.

Abstract Zn-Al alloys are mainly used due to their high tribological and damping properties. A very important issue is determination of the hardness of the phases present in the Zn-Al-Cu alloys. Unfortunately, in literature there is lack of studies on the hardness of the phases present in the alloys Zn-Al-Cu. The aim of this research was to determine the hardness of the phases present in the ZnAl22Cu3Si and ZnAl40Cu3Si alloys. The scope of the research included examination of the structure, chemical composition of selected micro-regions and hardness of phases present in the examined alloys. The research carried out has shown, that CuZn4 phase is characterized by a similar hardness as the hardness of the interdendritic areas. The phases present in the structure of ZnAl40Cu3 and ZnAl22Cu3 alloys after soaking at the temperature of 185 °C are characterized by lower hardness than the phase present in the structure of the as-cast alloys.

The difference between average densities of the Moon and Earth was interpreted in the preceding report by Professor H. Urey as indicating a difference in their chemical composition. Therefore, Urey assumes the Moon's formation to have taken place far away from the Earth, under conditions differing substantially from the conditions of Earth's formation. In such a case, the Earth should have captured the Moon. As is admitted by Professor Urey himself, such a capture is a very improbable event. In addition, an assumption that the “lunar” dimensions were representative of protoplanetary bodies in the entire solar system encounters great difficulties.
