<p>In the present investigation, three different aluminium-silicon (Al-Si) containing 7 wt.%, 12 wt.%, 14 wt.% of silicon and two different aluminium-magnesium (Al-Mg) alloys containing 2.5 wt.%, 4.5 wt.% of magnesium were prepared by casting route method. The prepared Al-Si and Al-Mg alloys have homogeneous distribution of the second phase throughout the cast. The microstructural analyses were done by using both optical and scanning electron microscope. Hardness values were measured in a Vickers hardness tester and tensile properties were determined by using Instron universal testing machine. Further, the wear properties were determined by using a ball-on-plate wear tester. The results highlight that the hardness, tensile properties and wear resistance increases with increasing percentage of second phase in aluminium. The worn surfaces of these alloys revealed that the surfaces shows cracks, grooves, scoring marks and debris.</p>

In modern engineering low-density composites plays a vital role of which magnesium alloys are very effective due to its high strength with better corrosion resistance and neat cast ability. In this work a micron sized Boron carbide ceramic (B4C) of about 100 microns is diffused as a reinforcement with AZ91 for preparing a magnesium metal matrix composite (MMMC) through stir casting route. A modified pit furnace setup is used for doing stir casting with varying volume fractions of 0％ and 3% of boron carbide for doing the composites. Furthermore mechanical and metallurgical properties like Tensile test is made through universal testing machine, Micro-hardness through Vickers hardness tester and Micro structure through Optical Microscopy is done for investigation.

In this study, a series of implant material containing molybdenum of different weight percentages were fabricated via high temperature vertical vacuum casting induction furnace and examined their physical, mechanical and wear properties. The mechanical properties were tested by the micro-hardness tester and the compression testing machine, while the wear performance was analyzed through a pin-on-disc tribometer under different operating conditions at room temperature. Density, hardness, compressive strength and sliding wear were considered as criterions for this study. The proportions of alternatives consist of Co-30Cr as a base material and molybdenum as an alloying element which was varied from 0 to 4wt.%. Due to the conflict between the properties obtained, the Grey relational analysis method (GRA) was applied to choose the best material among the set of alternatives. From the results obtained, it was found that Co-30Cr implant material containing 4wt.%molybdenum provides the best combination of the properties for a given application (i.e. hip femoral head).

To improve the anti-wear properties of Mg alloys, Al-13Si, Al-15Si and Al-19Si coatings were prepared by supersonic particles deposition on the surface of ZM5 magnesium alloy. Micro-structure and anti-wear properties of the coatings were examined by digital micro-hardness tester, XRD, friction and abrasion testing machine, three-dimensional microscope and SEM. The results show that the wear-resistant layer and the magnesium substrate can be well integrated as mechanical bonding and the main wear failure mechanism of the three coatings is adhesive wear. Moreover, the micro-hardness of Al-19Si coating is 141.47HV0.05, much higher than Al-13Si coating (134.97HV0.05) and Al-15Si coating (136.02HV0.05). Besides, the anti-wear properties of Al-19Si coating is optimal, superior to Al-15Si coating and Al-13Si coating. All of those indicate that Al-19Si coating can provide the most excellent anti-wear protection for ZM5 magnesium alloy.

The fracture reasons of 500kV high-voltage disconnectors hoops were analyzed. The fracture appearance, composition of chemical elements, metallographic, mechanical properties of the fractured hoops were investigated by ICP-AES, SEM, optical microscope, brinell hardness tester, universal testing machine. The test results that one reason is substandard products of this batch hoop. The composition of chemical elements and mechanical properties is fails to comply with applicable standards prescribed and the casting defects are found. Another reason is that the large pre-tightening force and tightens reverse order.

Abstract Recently, natural fibres composite is rigorously explored as alternative fibres due to the source depletion of petroleum. This research was focusing on pineapple leaf (PALF). The purpose of this research was to study the single fibre tensile properties of PALF. The single fibre tensile test was conducted via the universal testing machine following ASTM D3379 – 89 standards. The result shows that the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) and Young’s Modulus of PALF were 141.093 MPa and 89.073 MPa, respectively. This research’s benefits include reducing agriculture waste of pineapple leaf, which is commonly being thrown out by the farmers when the fruits are harvested. It focuses not only on waste reduction but also on economic factors when other industries fully utilise the pineapple leaf.

The effect of natural weathering on tensile properties of low density polyethylene/ thermoplastic soya spent powder (TSSP) was studied. TSSP was produced by mixing the soya spent powder (SSP) with glycerol. Both blends were prepared by using internal mixer (brabender) at 150 °C with the SSP/TSSP content ranged from 0 to 25 wt%. Then, all the dumb-bell samples were exposed to Perlis environment located at Kubang Gajah, Perlis for 6 months period. The tensile properties were tested by using a universal testing machine (UTM) according to ASTM D638. LDPE/SSP blends presented lower strength and elongation at break (Eb) than LDPE/ TSSP blends meanwhile there were no Young’s Modulus values for 20 wt% onwards of both blends due to the brittle samples after 6 months of weathering.

Nanostructures and microhardness of a commercial purity Al, three binary Al–Mg alloys and a commercial AA5182 alloy subjected to high pressure torsion (HPT) at room temperature were comparatively investigated using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution XRD line profile analysis. The hardness values of HPT samples are twice to three times larger than that of the undeformed counterparts. Grain sizes measured by XRD are in the range 10–200 nm with typical average values ranging from 46 to 120 nm. The hardness values and the dislocation densities increased, whereas, the average grain size decreased significantly with increasing Mg contents. Typical dislocation densities are in the range 1.7 × 1014 m-2 – 2.3 × 1015 m-2. However, local densities in grain boundary and triple junction areas might be as high as 1017 m-2. The strengthening mechanisms contributing to high hardness may primarily be attributed to the cooperative interactions of high dislocation densities, grain boundaries and planar interfaces.

In this work, we report our study of the microstructure and mechanical properties of pure Ti, Ti-11Al, Ti-47Al and Ti-6Al-4V nanostructure coatings on AZ91D Mg alloys prepared using DC magnetron sputtering. The fine structures of the coating (see fig. 1 for Ti-6Al-4V coating) are presented. The hardness of the coatings were tested on a CSEM nano-hardness tester with a Berkovich diamond intender. Hardness values were obtained from analyses using the Oliver-Pharr scheme. The hardness of the nanostructure coating increases from about 3.5GPa up to about 6.8GPa when the aluminium concentration increases from zero to 47at.%. Maximum hardness value was found on the Ti-6Al-4V coating, about 7.3GPa. The elastic modulus of the pure Ti coating has the lowest modulus and strain burst “pop-in” has been observed on Ti-47Al coating.

Measuring the tensile strength at the suture line of walnut shell is difficult by general fixtures. In this paper, a particular fixture was designed for measuring the tensile properties of the whole walnut shell based on the Pro/E software. The rigidities of main parts were checked by theory of mechanics combined with ANSYS. The results show that all the deformations were within the permissible scope, that is to say, this design is reasonable. Besides, four adjusting levers are designed to meet the size requirements of vary walnuts whose diameter is from 28mm to 40mm. Meanwhile, it can be conveniently located on the electronic universal testing machine.
