AbstractThe paper describes a different condition of pouring temperature by sand and permanent mould to produce A356-6 wt% TiB2 metal matrix composites by in-situ method salt metal reaction route. The observation of SEM micrographs shows particle distribution of the TiB2 and it appears in hexagonal shape in Al matrix. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of those TiB2 particulates and the results showed TiB2 particles are homogeneously dispersed throughout the matrix metal. Subsequent structure-property evaluation studies indicated sub-micron size reinforcement of in-situ formed TiB2 particles with improved physical and mechanical properties as compared to sand and permanent mould of Al-TiB2 composites. From, the permanent mould Al-TiB2 composite has an advantage of increase the properties over sand mould Al-TiB2 composite.

Abstract This research focused on developing a hybrid quality monitoring model through combining the data driven and key engineering parameters to predict the friction stir blind riveting (FSBR) joint quality. The hybrid model was formulated through utilizing the in-situ processing and joint property data. The in-situ data involved sensor fusion (force and torque signals) and key processing parameters (spindle speed, feed rate and stacking sequence) for data-driven modeling. The quality of the FSBR joints was defined by the tensile strength. Further, the joint cross-sectional analysis and failure modes in lap-shear tests were employed to confirm the efficacy of the proposed model and development of the process-structure-property relationship.

ABSTRACTThis paper will discuss the structure-property model developed that correlates the tensile modulus to the elastic properties and angular distribution of constituent graphitic layers for carbon fiber derived from a polyethylene precursor. In addition, a high-temperature fiber tensile device was built to enable heating of carbon fiber bundles at a variable rate from 25 °C to greater than ∼2300 °C, while simultaneously applying a tensile stress. This capability combined with synchrotron wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD), enabled observation in situ and in real time of the microstructural transformation from different carbon fiber precursors to high-modulus carbon fiber. Experiments conducted using PAN- and PE-derived fiber precursors reveal stark differences in their carbonization and high-temperature graphitization behavior.

Abstract Structure-property relationships of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) / polyolefin (PO) (80/20) blends modified by a reactive compatibilizer, ethylene-acrylic ester-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer (BAG), were investigated as part of studies on toughening of PBT. POs used for the study were ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), whose deformabilities were different at room temperature. It was observed that the particle size of PO in the discrete phase was the smallest when the EAG content was 8~12 wL%. Shear viscosity of the blends increased as the particle size was decreased. It seems that the morphology and rheological properties of the blends were affected by graft copolymers formed in situ from EAG and PBT during melt mixing. Brittle-tough transition of impact strength of the PBT/EPR/EAG blends was observed when the EAG content was increased from 0 to 4 wt% at room temperature. However, blends of PBT/LDPE/EAG and PBT/HDPE/EAG showed brittle-tough transition with increasing the EAG content from 8 wt% to 12 wt%. It is postulated that toughening of the PBT depends on the deformability of the discrete PO particle as well as its size.

In situ emission and absorption FTIR methods were employed to characterize the spatially resolved structure of binary Co–Cu oxides for low-temperature oxidation of CO and propene. Co–Cu oxide catalysts were controllably synthesized by pulsed-spray evaporation chemical vapor deposition. XRD, FTIR, XPS, UV-vis and helium ion microscopy (HIM) were employed to characterize the as-prepared thin films in terms of structure, composition, optical and thermal properties as well as morphology. In situ emission FTIR spectroscopy indicates that Co3O4, CuCo2O4 and CuO are thermally stable at 650, 655 and 450 °C, respectively. The catalytic tests with absorption FTIR display that the involvement of Co–Cu oxides can initiate CO and C3H6 oxidation at lower temperatures. The results indicate that in situ emission and absorption FTIR are useful techniques to explore the thermal properties and catalytic performance of functional materials, allowing many potential applications in tailoring their temporally and spatially resolved structure-property relationships.
