AbstractElectrical discharges using a capacitance of 450 μF at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 kJ input energies were applied in a N2atmosphere to obtain the mechanical alloyed Ti3Al powder without applying any external pressure. A solid bulk of nanostructured Ti3Al was obtained as short as 160 μsec by the Electrical discharge. At the same time, the surface has been modified into the form of Ti and Al nitrides due to the diffusion process of nitrogen to the surface. The input energy was found to be the most important parameter to affect the formation of a solid core and surface chemistry of the compact.

AbstractCharacteristics of electro-discharge-sintering of the Ti-37.5at.% Si powder mixture was investigated as a function of the input energy, capacitance, and discharge time without applying any external pressure. A solid bulk of Ti5Si3was obtained only after in less than 129 μsec by the EDS process. During a discharge, the heat is generated to liquefy and alloy the particles, and which enhances the pinch pressure can condensate them without allowing a formation of pores. Three step processes for the self-consolidation mechanism during EDS are proposed; (a) a physical breakdown of oxide film on elemental as-received powder particles, (b) alloying and densifying the consolidation of powder particles by the pinch pressure, and (c) diffusion of impurities into the consolidated surface.

Electrical discharge using a capacitance of 450 μF at 7.0 and 8.0 kJ input energies was applied to mechanical alloyed Ti5Si3powder without applying any external pressure. A solid bulk of nanostructured Ti5Si3with no compositional deviation was obtained in times as short as 159 μsec by the discharge. During an electrical discharge, the heat generated is the required parameter possibly to melt the Ti5Si3particles and the pinch force can pressurize the melted powder without allowing the formation of pores. Followed rapid cooling preserved the nanostructure of consolidated Ti5Si3compact. Three stepped processes during an electrical discharge for the formation of nanostructured Ti5Si3compact are proposed: (a) a physical breakdown of the surface oxide of Ti5Si3powder particles, (b) melting and condensation of Ti5Si3powder by the heat and pinch pressure, respectively, and (c) rapid cooling for the preservation of nanostructure. Complete conversion yielding a single phase Ti5Si3is primarily dominated by the solid-liquid mechanism.

The attack, on the surface of a polymer, by the atomic, molecular and ionic species that are created in a low pressure electrical discharge in a gas is interesting because: 1) significant interior morphological features may be revealed, 2) dielectric breakdown of polymeric insulation on high voltage power distribution lines involves the attack on the polymer of such species created in a corona discharge, 3) adhesive bonds formed between polymer surfaces subjected to such SDecies are much stronger than bonds between untreated surfaces, 4) the chemical modification of the surface creates a reactive surface to which a thin layer of another polymer may be bonded by glow discharge polymerization.

<p>Vegetable oils have been an alternative to mineral oil for oil-immersed transformers due to concern on less flammable, environmental-friendly, biodegradable, and sustainable resources of petroleum-based insulating oil. This paper presents the effect of electrical discharges (200 up to 1000 discharges) under 50 Hz inhomogeneous electric field on the properties (acidity, water content, and breakdown voltage) of two varieties of vegetable based insulating oils; i) natural ester (NE) and ii) low viscosity insulating fluids derived from a natural ester (NE<sub>LV</sub>). Results show the water content, acidity and breakdown voltage of NE fluctuate due to applied discharges, while NE<sub>LV</sub> display insignificant changes. Hence, results indicate that the low viscosity insulating fluids derived from natural ester tend to maintain their properties compared to natural ester.</p>

The paper presents microstructure, composition, and burning rate of Al alloy produced by high-temperature synthesis (SHS) from powder mixture Al-Ti-B4C with different concentration of Al powder. It has been established that the phase composition of materials obtained at gas-free combustion includes TiB2, Al, and TiC. It is shown that Al content growth powder in initial Al-Ti- B4C mixture from 7.5 to 40 wt.% reduces the burning rate of the powder from 9*10-3 to 1.8*10-3 m/s. For the system consisting of 60 wt.% of (Ti + B4C) and 40 wt.% of Al there is the increase in the porosity of the compacted initial powder mixture from 30 to 51 and reduction in the burning rate from 1.8 * 10-3 to 1 * 10-3 m/s. The introduction of 0.2 wt.% of the obtained SHS materials into the melt of pure aluminum causes reduction of the grain size of the resulting alloy from 1200 to 410 μm.

Titanium-nickel shape memory alloy (SMA) has good biomedical application value as an implant. Alloy corrosion will promote the release of toxic nickel ions and cause allergies and poisoning of cells and tissues. With this background, surface modification of TiNi SMAs using TiC-powder-assisted micro-electrical discharge machining (EDM) was proposed. This aims to explore the effect of the electrical discharge machining (EDM) parameters and TiC powder concentration on the machining properties and surface characteristics of the TiNi SMA. It was found that the material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness, and thickness of the recast layer increased with an increase in the discharge energy. TiC powder’s addition had a positive effect on increasing the electro-discharge frequency and MRR, reducing the surface roughness, and the maximum MRR and the minimum surface roughness occurred at a mixed powder concentration of 5 g/L. Moreover, the recast layer had good adhesion and high hardness due to metallurgical bonding. XRD analysis found that the machined surface contains CuO2, TiO2, and TiC phases, contributing to an increase in the surface microhardness from 258.5 to 438.7 HV, which could be beneficial for wear resistance in biomedical orthodontic applications.
