ABSTRACTThe pin-on-disc wear behavior of nanostructured two-phase Fe30Ni20Mn20Al30 and eutectic lamellar-structured Fe30Ni20Mn35Al15 is compared emphasizing the influence of the microstructure and mechanical properties of alloys as well as the effect of test environment. Although the wear of both alloys was greater in oxygen-containing environments, eutectic Fe30Ni20Mn35Al15 is less sensitive to oxygen than nanostructured Fe30Ni20Mn20Al30. Abrasive wear dominated during the wear in all cases, while plastic deformation also occurred during the wear of eutectic Fe30Ni20Mn35Al15. A tribolayer of zirconia, which was embedded in the surface of the wear pin, was characterized using a scanning transmission electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer.

Titanium and its alloys exhibit a unique combination of physical and corrosion resistance properties which make them ideal materials for space flight engine component such as disks and blades of compressor, marine applications, chemical industries and many bio medical applications. However the use of these materials is limited due to its poor tribological properties. Dry sliding wear tests were performed on Ti-6Al-4V using a pin-on-disc (EN31 steel) configuration. Wear rates were measured with different load and sliding velocity at a constant sliding distance. Microstructures of worn surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS).

A high resolution scanning transmission electron microscope of the type developed by A. V. Crewe is under construction in this laboratory. The basic design is completed and construction is under way with completion expected by the end of this year.The optical column of the microscope will consist of a field emission electron source, an accelerating lens, condenser lens, objective lens, diffraction lens, an energy dispersive spectrometer, and three electron detectors. For any accelerating voltage the condenser lens function to provide a parallel beam at the entrance of the objective lens. The diffraction lens is weak and its current will be controlled by the objective lens current to give an electron diffraction pattern size which is independent of small changes in the objective lens current made to achieve focus at the specimen. The objective lens demagnifies the image of the field emission source so that its Gaussian size is small compared to the aberration limit.

Dry sliding wear and immersion corrosion behaviors of Al 5083-based hybrid composite reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), Molybdenum boride (MoB) and nickel (Ni) are studied with different weight percentages. The reinforcement weight percentages of MWCNT ranges from 0 to 1.5, that of MoB from 1 to 4 and for Ni from 2 to 8. Dry sliding wear behavior at room temperature is studied using Pin on Disc by varying the sliding distances from 500 to 2000m, load from 10 to 40 N and sliding velocity from 0.25 to 1.75m/s. The wear studies revealed that there is a considerable decrease in wear rate for composites than the alloy material with increase in %wt of reinforcements for all test parameters. The worn surface analysis revealed that there are two types of wear mechanisms namely abrasive and adhesive. The uniform immersion corrosion tests also showed decreasing rate with increase in reinforcements.

Formation of 2-dimensional dot maps of x-ray intensity from various elements in a flat polished section was an early application of the scanning beam electron probe microanalyzer. The spatial resolution of those early maps was the same as the microprobe itself, about lpm. These maps were usually scanned in an analogue fashion, and there was generally enough x-ray signal to produce maps with good peak-to-background ratios. For analysis of individual catalyst particles, a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) must be used to obtain the required spatial resolution. However, the x-ray signal level is usually low and is collected with an energy-dispersive spectrometer which has a lower peak-to-background ratio than the wavelength-dispersive spectrometer used in the microprobe. To produce suitable high magnification x-ray maps of catalyst particles digital beam techniques were employed.

 The aim of the present research is to study the effect of cadmium addition on microstructure and wear behavior of the alloy (Al-12%Si) under dry sliding conditions. Wear behavior was studied by using the Pin-On- Disc technique under different conditions at applied loads 5-20 N, at constant sliding speed and in constant time. The steel disc hardness was 35HRc. All alloys were prepared with different percentages of cadmium (1.0, 2.0, 3.0) wt%. Also the base alloy was prepared by melting and pouring the molten metal in a metallic mold. It was found that the cadmium addition to Al-Si matrix decreases the wear rate and improves the wear properties for alloys containing -Cd under loads above 10N. It was also found that the alloy Al-12%Si containing 3%Cd is the best alloy in wear resistance and friction coefficient. This is due to presence of the Cd-phase as cuboids or hard particles distributed in a eutectic matrix which reduces the friction coefficient at high loads (20N).

In present paper, the dry sliding wear behaviors of wrought Al-12.7Si-0.7Mg alloy have been investigated using a pin-on-disc machine. The effect of various parameters, such as alloy conditions, sliding speed, and normal pressure, has been investigated. Wear surface was characterized by SEM/EDX microanalysis. The microstructure, hardness and tensile properties of the extruded profile were investigated with the aim of understanding the wear and friction mechanisms. The present results reveal an improvement in the mechanical and tribological properties, obtained due to microstructure characterized by fine Si particles uniformly distributed in the Al matrix of fine equiaxed grains, as promoted by hot extrusion. It was also revealed that higher hardness and the lower aspect ratio of eutectic Si particles contributed to the better wear resistance.

Uniformly distributed nanoparticles created by heating carbon nanotubes synthesized by arc-discharge were studied by electron diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), and x-ray energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The nanoparticles have diameters in the range of 3–15 nm. Electron diffraction pattern and HRTEM images analysis both show that the nanoparticles can be nickel or diamond. EELS and EDS analysis in a dedicated scanning transmission electron microscope showed that the nanoparticles are face-centered-cubic nickel particles rather than diamond nanocrystals. The mechanism of formation of nickel nanoparticles below its melting point is discussed.

AbstractThis study focused on the dry sliding wear behavior of the natural fiber called borassus fruit fiber (Palmyra fruit fiber) reinforced polyester composite. Composites are molded with different fiber weight fractions. Composites are fabricated by using both the untreated and the mercerized fibers. Mercerizations of the fibers are done with 1 N solution. The structural properties like tensile, flexural, and impact strengths are experimented as per ASTM and reported. The dry sliding wear study was done using the Pin-on-Disc apparatus as per ASTM G99. In particular, more emphasis has been devoted for wear behaviors at different velocity conditions and loads. Based on the experimental data, the optimum sliding velocity and the corresponding load were suggested.

Soap bars can be viewed as pseudo-binary two-phase composites consisting of solid particulate suspended in water-enriched medium. Understanding the size and the distribution of the two phases in a bar is of interest to cosmetic industry. Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) combined with Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) has been used to perform water mapping in certain biological systems. Here we report preliminary analysis of soap-water matrix in a soap bar by employing EELS and spectrum imaging techniques.Thin slices of soap bars containing 13% water (as measured using Karl Fischer titrator) were frozen using a Leica high-pressure freezer (EM PACT). 200 nm thick cryo-sections were cut at -160°C. The frozen sections were cryo-transferred at -170°C to a Philips CM20 FEG electron microscope equipped with the Gatan CCD spectrometer ENFINA interfaced to an Emispec Vision system for digital control and data acquisition.
