Couple of high strength and flexible surface tolerant coatings were designed for oil contaminated, rusty, and minimally prepared steel surfaces. These coatings are to have strong interfacial adhesion due to low surface tension and sustain more than 5 MPa pull out force consistently. The effect of optimized concentration of zinc dust and micaceous iron oxide (MIO) as pigments is evaluated for these surface tolerant coating systems. It has been noticed that the presence of these two ingredients has enhanced corrosion resistance more than several times as compared to commercially available coating systems. The corrosion simulation test in 3.5 wt.% NaCl has evident for significant improvement in terms of delaying blistering and delamination. The high pore resistance (Rp) indicates the slow migration of ions and water into the substrate and coating interface, which could be the reason of the improvement in corrosion process.

Processing of nickel-based high strength composites and alloys is a difficult and thought-provoking task. In this work, a strategy of heating through microwaves radiation is utilized to process the high strength hybrid Ni-based composite clad on SS 316L steel surface containing 15% (WC-8Co) and 5% Mo. The premixed composite powder was placed on the steel surface and irradiated with domestic microwave applicator having 2.45 GHz fixed frequency and 900 W power. The hybrid clad was successfully developed within 12–15 min of microwave exposure. The processed clad was subjected to various metallurgical and mechanical characterizations to understand the microstructures and phase changes. Microstructural analysis study revealed that the clad of ∼0.85 mm thickness was obtained and presence of dispersed reinforced particles of WC-8Co and Mo in nickel matrix were observed. Some inter-metallic phases of W2C, Ni2Mo4C, Ni4W and NiSi2 were observed in the clad. The average microhardness of the composite clad was712 ± 58 HV. The microwave processed clad exhibited a flexural strength of 852 ± 6 MPa with deformation index of 35 × 10−5 mm/N. Further, the sliding wear study revealed that the sliding velocity of 1.0 m/s favoured the formation of oxide tribo layers. The various mechanisms of wear revealed by the analysis of worn-out surfaces were abrasion, adhesion, surface pull-out and deformation of surfaces. The microwave processed clad revealed significant improvement in wear resistance in comparison to the steel substrate.

Resistance spot welded 1.2 mm (t)-thick 1400 MPa martensitic steel (MS1400) samples are fabricated and their microstructure, mechanical properties are investigated thoroughly. The mechanical performance and failure modes exhibit a strong dependence on weld-nugget size. The pull-out failure mode for MS1400 steel resistance spot welds does not follow the conventional weld-nugget size recommendation criteria of 4t0.5. Significant softening was observed due to dual phase microstructure of ferrite and martensite in the inter-critical heat affected zone (HAZ) and tempered martensite (TM) structure in sub-critical HAZ. However, the upper-critical HAZ exhibits obvious higher hardness than the nugget zone (NZ). In addition, the mechanical properties show that the cross-tension strength (CTS) is about one quarter of the tension-shear strength (TSS) of MS1400 weld joints, whilst the absorbed energy of cross-tension and tension-shear are almost identical.

Iron, while attracting less attention than magnesium and zinc, is still one of the best candidates for biodegradable metal stents thanks its biocompatibility, great elastic moduli and high strength. Due to the low corrosion rate, and thus slow biodegradation, iron stents have still not been put into use. While these problems have still not been fully resolved, many studies have been published that propose different approaches to the issues. This brief overview report summarises the latest developments in the field of biodegradable iron-based stents and presents some techniques that can accelerate their biocorrosion rate. Basic data related to iron metabolism and its biocompatibility, the mechanism of the corrosion process, as well as a critical look at the rate of degradation of iron-based systems obtained by several different methods are included. All this illustrates as the title says, what was done within the topic of biodegradable iron-based materials and what more can be done.

Structures located in seismic zones require significant ductility. It is necessary to examine the bond slip characteristics of high strength concrete under cyclic loading. The cyclic bond of high strength concrete is investigated under different parameters, including load history, confining reinforcement, bar diameter, concrete strength, and the rate of pull out. The bond strength, cracking, and deformation are highly dependent on the bond slip behavior between the rebar and the concrete under cyclic loading. The results of cyclic testing indicate that an increase in cyclic displacement will lead to more severe bond damage. The slope of the bond stress – displacement curve can describe the influence of the rate of loading on the bond strength in a cyclic test. Specimens with steel confinement sustained a greater number of cycles than the specimens without steel confinement. It has been found that the maximum bond strength increases with an increase in concrete strength. Cyclic loading does not affect the bond strength of high strength concrete as long as the cyclic slip is less than the maximum slip for monotonic loading. The behavior of high strength concrete under a cyclic load is slightly different from that of normal strength concrete.Key words: bond, high strength, cyclic loading, bar spacing, loading rate, failure mechanism.

Spunlaced nonwoven fabrics have been widely used recently, but fundamental research on the spunlaced nonwoven process is relatively weak. It is inexplicit until now how fibers are entangled with each other during the hydroentangling process. In this paper, a pull-out experiment designed to study the entanglement properties of spunlaced nonwoven fabrics using common and hydrophilic PET fibers as objects is described. It was found that the broken fiber content can be used to represent the entanglement intensity of the spunlaced nonwoven fabrics. In addition, a formula was set up to calculate the tensile strength of the spunlaced nonwoven fabric based on its pull-out behavior.

In this paper, the preliminary results of a series of pull-out tests conducted on mortar cylinders with embedded bars are presented. The bars are made of high strength stainless steel and are of helical shape to increase mechanical interlocking with the surrounding mortar. Usually, such bars are employed in situ to realize structural repointing in the case of fair-faced masonry walls. To this aim, they are inserted in the mortar bed joints of masonry for providing tensile strength to the walls and with the function of crack stitching. The aim of the present experimental tests is to determine the bond-slip relationship for bars embedded in masonry. Firstly, pull-out tests are conducted on mortar cylinders considering different embedded lengths of the bars. Further tests are on-going on masonry specimens with bars embedded in the mortar joints. An analytical investigation is also carried out for the interpretation of the pull-out test results.

The work deals with the use of waste glass to the polymer anchor material based on epoxy resin, primarily for anchoring to a high strength concrete (HSC). The main aim was to use the largest possible amount of the waste packaging glass by reducing the amount of epoxy resin, which is an expensive material and its production has a negative impact on the environment. Within the experimental verification, the influence of waste packaging glass fraction 0–0.63 mm on the final properties of the polymer anchoring material was observed. To determine the optimal formulation compressive strength, flexural strength, chemical resistance, shrinkage and pull-out test were performed. Based on the evaluation of the results the optimal percentage of filling was determined, when the polymer anchor material showed high strengths, minimal shrinkage, good chemical resistance, optimal consistency for anchoring into the HSC and high anchor bolt pull-out strength.
