Processed by sulfuric acid anodizing, several unexpected strip defects exhibited on the anodizing film of AA5252 aluminium alloy sheets. Their formation mechanism was studied in detail. The normal zone and strip zone were compared, with respect to surface brightness, porosity of anodizing film, and microstructures of the corresponding aluminium substrate tested by spectroscopic colorimeter and SEM, and SEM-EBSD. Results showed that the brightness of strip zone was lower than that of normal zone. Additionally, compared with normal zone, the porosity of anodizing film was higher, and cubic grains fewer, which located in the corresponding surface layer of aluminium substrate in strip zone. In order to further clarify the effect of grain orientation on the brightness of anodizing film, single crystal aluminium sheet with (100), (110) or (111) orientation was anodized. Results showed that the anodized (100) oriented specimen, i.e., cubic grain was brighter, whose anodizing film had lower porosity, compared with (110) and (111) oriented ones. Therefore, the formation mechanism of strip defects was proposed as uneven distribution of cubic grains. The zones with fewer cubic orientated grains were darker, and were visible as strip defects after anodizing.

Corrosion resistance properties, such as porosity, stability in the atmosphere of NaCl mist, and anodic electrochemical activity in a sulfuric acid solution are studied and compared for Ni-W-P and Ni-P coatings obtained by electroless deposition. The studied coatings were obtained from solutions with glycine as the main ligand and contained 10.2 to 15.6 at.% of phosphorus and up to 3.3 at.% of tungsten. It is shown that Ni-W-P coatings with a tungsten content of 2.3 to 3.3 at.% and a thickness of 15 μm have a significantly lower porosity as compared with nickel-phosphorus coatings of the same thickness. Also, significantly better stability of Ni-W-P coatings in a NaCl mist atmosphere was observed, their corrosion damage degree is less than that of Ni-P coatings, and relatively little depends on the duration of exposure in a corrosive environment. Analysis of anodic polarization curves showed an almost similar electrochemical activity upon dissolution of Ni-P and Ni-W-P coatings in sulfuric acid. Both these types of electroless coatings showed a markedly better tendency to anodic dissolution than pure nickel. Taking into account the obtained experimental data, a conclusion is made as to the better protective characteristics of Ni-W-P coatings in comparison with nickel-phosphorus coatings. The main reason of the inferior protective properties of Ni-P coatings is their relatively high porosity.

Lower warp is required for the single crystal silicon wafers sawn by a fixed diamond wire saw with the thinness of a silicon wafer. The residual stress in the surface layer of the silicon wafer is the primary reason for warp, which is generated by the phase transitions, elastic-plastic deformation, and non-uniform distribution of thermal energy during wire sawing. In this paper, an experiment of multi-wire sawing single crystal silicon is carried out, and the Raman spectra technique is used to detect the phase transitions and residual stress in the surface layer of the silicon wafers. Three different wire speeds are used to study the effect of wire speed on phase transition and residual stress of the silicon wafers. The experimental results indicate that amorphous silicon is generated during resin bonded diamond wire sawing, of which the Raman peaks are at 178.9 cm−1 and 468.5 cm−1. The ratio of the amorphous silicon surface area and the surface area of a single crystal silicon, and the depth of amorphous silicon layer increases with the increasing of wire speed. This indicates that more amorphous silicon is generated. There is both compressive stress and tensile stress on the surface layer of the silicon wafer. The residual tensile stress is between 0 and 200 MPa, and the compressive stress is between 0 and 300 MPa for the experimental results of this paper. Moreover, the residual stress increases with the increase of wire speed, indicating more amorphous silicon generated as well.

The paper deals with the effect of different shot peening (SP) treatment conditions on the ENAW 7075-T651 aluminium alloy. Suitable residual stress profile increases the applicability and life cycle of mechanical parts, treated by shot peening. The objective of the research was to establish the optimal parameters of the shot peening treatment of the aluminium alloy in different precipitation hardened states with regard to residual stress profiles in dynamic loading. Main deformations and main residual stresses were calculated on the basis of electrical resistance. The resulting residual stress profiles reveal that stresses throughout the thin surface layer of all shot peened specimens are of compressive nature. The differences can be observed in the depth of shot peening and the profile of compressive residual stresses. Under all treatment conditions, the obtained maximum value of compressive residual stress ranges between -200 MPa and -300 MPa at a depth between 250 μm and 300 μm. Comparison of different temperature-hardened aluminium alloys shows that changes in the Almen intensity values have greater effect than coverage in the depth and profile of compressive residual stresses. Positive stress ratio of R=0.1 was selected. Wöhler curves were determined in the areas of maximum bending loads between 30 - 65 % of material's tensile strength, measured at thinner cross-sections of individual specimens. The results of material fatigue testing differ from the level of shot peening on the surface layer.

The oxidation of formic acid was studied at supported Pt catalyst (47.5 wt%. Pt) and a low-index single crystal electrodes in sulfuric acid. The supported Pt catalyst was characterized by the TEM and HRTEM techniques. The mean Pt particle diameter, calculated from electrochemical measurements fits well with Pt particle size distribution determined by HRTEM. For the mean particle diameter the surface averaged distribution of low-index single crystal facets was established. Comparison of the activities obtained at Pt supported catalyst and low-index Pt single crystal electrodes revealed that Pt(111) plane is the most active in the potential region relevant for fuel cell applications.

Nowadays, the nano-machining process is used to produce high quality finished surfaces with precise form accuracy. To understand and analyze the chip formation mechanism of nano-machining process on an atomistic scale, since the experimentation is not an easy task, numerical simulation such as molecular dynamic (MD) simulation is a very useful method. In this paper, MD simulation of the nano-metric cutting of single-crystal copper was performed with a single crystal diamond tool. The model was solved with both pair wise Morse potential function and embedded atom method (EAM) potential to simulate the inter-atomic force between the work-piece and a rigid tool. The chip formation mechanism, dislocation generation, tool forces and generated temperature were investigated. Results show that the Morse potential cannot perform an appropriate defect formation and plastic deformation in nano-metric cutting of metals. Also, tool forces in Morse potential are more than the forces in EAM potential. Furthermore, the fluctuations of resultant forces in Morse potential are greater than that of EAM. In addition, using many-body interaction potentials like EAM can lead to substantial changes in surface energies, elastic-plastic properties and atomic displacement, compared with the pair-wise potentials like Morse. Finally, the atomic displacement investigation shows that in EAM potential study, only the atoms in a local region near the cutting process are displaced, but in Morse potential a large portion of atoms has affected during cutting process. Subsequently, the chip temperature in EAM potential is more than that of Morse potential.
