Hybrid metal matrix composites are being widely investigated for use in light weight, high strength applications. In the present study, Aluminium alloy Al7075 was reinforced with B4C and TiO2at 4% and 2% weight fractions respectively. The powders of the reinforcements were ball milled for uniform distribution in the Al matrix, and later fabricated by stir casting technique primarily due to simplicity and economy of the method. The specimen were prepared as per ASTM standards and later subjected to hardness, double shear, wear and impact tests and the results were compared with that of pure aluminium specimen fabricated by the same method. The hardness, shear strength, impact strength of the composite were found to be higher than pure aluminium by 4.97%, 32.28% ands 6.41% respectively.

Light weight materials which possess high strength and durability are being utilized by the automotive industry to increase fuel economy. Rapidly solidified (RS) Al alloys are currently being extensively studied for this purpose. In this investigation the microstructure of an extruded Al-8Fe-2Mo alloy, produced by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Goverment Products Div. was examined in a JE0L 2000FX AEM. Both electropolished thin sections, and extraction replicas were examined to characterize this material. The consolidation procedure for producing this material included a 9:1 extrusion at 340°C followed by a 16:1 extrusion at 400°C, utilizing RS powders which have also been characterized utilizing electron microscopy.

Width Measurements

Despite the advantages of advanced high strength steels (AHSS), their stamping into functional lightweight parts demands prolonged die life, which necessitates the use of alternative substrates, coating materials, and/or surface conditioning to minimize and delay the die wear. In order to avoid frequent die replacement and surface quality problems on the stamped parts, the metalworking industry has been investigating various approaches such as reducing/refining the carbide particles, adding alloying elements, and elevating the hardness and toughness values for both substrate materials and coatings. The objective of this work was to investigate the effects of different coatings on the wear behavior of a some selected tool steel materials (die sample of interest) against two different AHSS sheet blanks through a cylinder-on-flat type reciprocating test method. After wear tests, both die sample and sheet blank surface were microscopically examined. Wear resistance of the slider was quantified from wear scar width measurements. Results showed that TD and CVD coated die samples performed better than the two other PVD coated samples.

Hardening Heat Treatment

Due to the constant development in the automotive industry, where high performance shared with the maximal comfort and safety at low car body weight are the primary goals, gains the lightweight construction in importance. Materials with light weight, high strength and toughness are being engaged. With this background the material aluminum and its alloys become highly attractive to manufacturers. There are mainly two ways of forming the metal materials: casting or forming. Apart from substitution of one method by another there are also many examples of combining of casting and forging processes in practice. Such approach allows using the advantages of both methods, shortening the process chains and saving energy and resources at the same time. Furthermore the form flexibility can be increased and the product quality can be improved. For higher process efficiency a direct transition from casting to forging operation should be applied, so that the heat loss decreases and no additional heat treatment between these operations is necessary. There are processes known, which allow producing the final parts by casting and forging from one a single heat. The application of such processes requires materials, which have simultaneously good casting and forging properties. The Institute of Metal forming TU Freiberg works intensively on development of combined casting-forging technologies for lightweight aluminum parts. A technological chain for this coupled process followed by precipitation hardening heat treatment was developed (Figure 1). Heat treatable aluminum cast and wrought alloys with 1 – 7 % silicon were applied. By the variation of silicon content the optimal cast, forging and hardening properties were achieved. This technology with high energy efficiency allows producing durable light weight parts from aluminum alloys while the mechanical properties of the final parts are equal to or even higher than those in the conventional processes.

Cable Structures

Characterized by light weight and high strength, cold-drawn galvanized cable wires are widely applied in all kinds of prestressed structures and cable structures. Investigation shows that cables are sensitive to corrosion. Severe corrosion of cables results in cable replacement which are costly, and even more, collapse of the whole bridge. In this paper, several tests were carried out to present the crack growth of wire in stress corrosion in different solutions. In particular, as Cl-, OH-, SO42- and NH4+ have major effect on stress corrosion in seawater and acid rain, these four kinds of ions are selected in tests. And all four kinds of corrosive solutions are tested with the concentration of 1.5 bsp and 3 bsp respectively. Effects on ultimate tensile strength and sensitivity of cable wires are different for each of chosen ions, and the increasing concentration for the same solution would drop ultimate tensile strength and the modulus of cable wires.
