The X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), weight loss corrosion rate, corrosion residual strength (CRS), and slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) methods were used to study the effects of the addition of rare earth Erbium (Er) on the dynamic corrosion mechanical properties of the AM50 magnesium alloy. The results show that after Er was added, a new phase of Al3Er appeared and the microstructure was refined. The corrosion resistance of rare earth Er addition to the alloy was 0.5% > 1.5% > 1.0% > 0. Furthermore, the corrosion rates decreased in 432 h. The CRS results within 168 h show that the strength after an addition of 0.5% Er was the highest and the decline rate was the smallest. According to the shape of the tensile curve of CRS and the morphology of the tensile fracture, the addition of rare earth Er did not change the fracture form of the alloy, which remained as quasi-cleavage.

The effect of the neodymium content on mechanical properties of the electro-brush plated nanoAl2O3/Ni composite coating was investigated in this paper. The microstructure and phase structure were studied with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The hardness and abrasion properties of several coatings with different neodymium content were studied by nanoindentation test and friction / wear experiment. Results show that the coatings are much finer and more compact when the neodymium was added, and the hardness and abrasion property of the coatings with neodymium were improved obviously. Besides, the small cracks conduced by the upgrowth stress in the coatings were ameliorated when the rare earth neodymium was added. The improvement mechanism was further discussed.

AbstractTo improve the corrosion and mechanical properties of the AM50 magnesium alloy, different amounts of the rare earth element gadolinium were used. The microstructure, corrosion and mechanical properties were evaluated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and electrochemical and mechanical stretch methods. The results indicate that, with Gd addition, the amount of the Al2Gd3 phase increased while the β-Mg17Al12 phase amount decreased. Due to the Gd addition, the grain of the AM50 magnesium alloy was significantly refined, which improved its tensile strength. Further, the decrease in the amount of the β phase improved the corrosion resistance of the alloy. The fracture mechanism of the Gd-modified AM50 magnesium alloy was a quasi-cleavage fracture. Finally, the optimum corrosion residual strength of the AM50 magnesium alloy occurred with 1 wt.%of added Gd.

AbstractLithium additions to Al offer the promise of substantially reducing the weight of alloys, since each 1 wt. % Li added to Al reduces density by 3 % and increases elastic modulus. In the present work, the effect of 1.46 wt. % Li addition to AlSi7Mg (containing 7.05 wt. % Si and 0.35 wt. % Mg) was studied. The alloy showed reduced density and higher hardness after natural ageing. Experimental work showed that micro-structural and mechanical properties changed with Li addition. It was observed that 0.80 wt. % Li addition resulted in formation of new phase AlLiSi which has a great effect to increase hardness of AlSi7Mg. According to Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis it was confirmed that the addition of Li causes formation of different phases which are: α-Al, β-Si and AlLiSi.

Al2O3-TiC-ZrO2ceramic composites (ATZ) were fabricated by hot-pressed sintering. The phases and microstructure of the composites were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The relative density and mechanical properties (flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vicker’s hardness) of the composites were tested. The results show that the microstructure of the composites was the gray core-white rim. With the increase of sintering temperature, the relative density and mechanical properties of the composites increased first and then decreased. The composite sintered at 1705°C has the highest synthetical properties, and its relative density, flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vickers hardness are 98.3%,970MPa,6.0 MPa•m1/2and 20.5GPa, respectively.

The super-tough bio-based nylon was prepared by melt extrusion. In order to improve the compatibility between bio-based nylon and elastomer, the elastomer POE was grafted with maleic anhydride. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to study the compatibility and micro-distribution between super-tough bio-based nylon and toughened elastomers. The results of mechanical strength experiments show that the 20% content of POE-g-MAH has the best toughening effect. After toughening, the toughness of the super-tough nylon was significantly improved. The notched impact strength was 88 kJ/m2 increasing by 1700%, which was in line with the industrial super-tough nylon. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the crystallization behavior of bio-based PA56, and the effect of bio-based PA56 with high crystallinity on mechanical properties was analyzed from the microstructure.

By means of optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),And tensile test, Mechanical Properties of hot rolled transformation -induced plasticity (TRIP) steels which were prepared through three different coiling temperature was investigated. Result reveals that the formability index of the experimental steel descends when the coiling temperature becomes low. Different coiling temperature has greater impact on retained austenite. Amount and carbon content of retained austenite in the experimental steel get less with lower coiling temperature.

Insertion of metal-oxide nanoparticles to polymers stipulate the modification of physical properties of polymers over and above the accomplishment of new features in the polymer matrix. In the current study, an attempt was made to disperse the CuO nanoparticles in the polyvinyl alcohol and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) blend to investigate the structural, mechanical and optical properties of the nanocomposite. Blend was prepared in different ratios using PVA and HPMC, viz. 25:50, 50:50 and 75:25 wt%. The CuO nanoparticles were added to the 75:25 PVA:HPMC blend in different percentage like 0.5,1 and 1.5%. The polymer with and without CuO incorporation were subjected to X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, UV-visible spectral analyses and mechanical strength, etc. The results revealed that the incorporation of the CuO nanoparticles enhanced the structural and mechanical properties of the polymer by forming successful nanocomposite.

This study presents the development of geopolymer bricks synthetized from industrial waste, including fly ash mixed with concrete residue containing aluminosilicate compound. The above two ingredients are mixed according to five ratios: 100:0, 95:5, 90:10, 85:15, and 80:20. The mixture's physico-mechanical properties, in terms of water absorption and the compressive strength of the geopolymer bricks, are investigated according to the TIS 168-2546 standard. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses are used to investigate the microstructure and the elemental and phase composition of the brick specimens. The results indicate that the combination of fly ash and concrete residue represents a suitable approach to brick production, as required by the TIS 168–2546 standard.
