Abstract Al and its alloys constitute one of the most versatile, economical and attractive materials for a wide range of applications. The 7xxx and 2xxx series alloys are those of achieving the highest mechanical strength among aluminum alloys. In this investigation, using powder metallurgy provides the microstructural and mechanical properties characterizations of non-commercial Al6Cu5Zn alloy by using powder metallurgy. Initial powder sizes are determined and the best condition is obtained for the distribution comprised between 75-106 μm. The samples are sintered at 585 oC, 600 oC and 615 oC during 0.5, 1.5 h and 3 h. It is found that mechanical behavior similar to as-cast Al-Cu based alloys is attained (~ 125 MPa) when the samples at 615 oC during 3 h are sintered. Considering the reduction of energy consumption and metal fumes commonly produced in foundry, Al-Zn powder can be used with Al and Cu elemental powders to constitute an Al6Cu5Zn alloy.

Silk may possess superior mechanical strength while its resilience is very poor. In contrast, elastin in human arteries is very soft but extremely durable with an estimated half-life of 70 years. By combing polypeptide sequences derived from native silk and elastin, we have produced a series of silk-elastin-like proteins (SELPs), which have displayed a set of outstanding properties such as good biocompatibility and controllable biodegradation rates [1]. In this study, we will examine the crystallization of the silk-like blocks and the crosslinking of the elastin-like blocks, as well as their influences on the mechanical behavior of SELPs. The ultimate goal of this study is to explore the potential of SELPs for applications in the engineering of load-bearing tissues such as arteries.

The elevated temperature mechanical behavior of Mg-Y-Zn alloys was investigated. It was found that the extruded Mg-Y-Zn alloy exhibited excellent mechanical properties both at ambient temperature and elevated temperature. With the increase of tensile temperature, the ultimate tensile strengths of Mg-Y-Zn alloys decreased and their elongations increased. The ultimate tensile strengths increased and elongations decreased with the increase of yttrium content. However, a gradual increase in the ultimate tensile strength and elongation both at ambient temperature and elevated temperature was obtained by increasing both yttrium and zinc contents. The fracture modes of Mg-Y-Zn alloys at different tensile temperature were also investigated.

The vast increase of energy consumption, global warming and the harm they cause to the environment, emerge to be a major obstruction that distresses the world today. The current work views one of the methods that the world focused on as means of reducing the environmental harms and that is, through green building, or in more common words sustainable buildings. Those means, covers the exercising of a wide range of applications including merging of new and specific technologies in which through fulfilling its basis, the process of evaluation of the building takes place in terms of its harmony with the environment, reduction of energy consumption, and the reduction of the environmental problems caused by the building life cycle starting from defining of location, design of the building, operation, maintenance, repairing and up to the renewal of the building.  Despite the significance of green building, no profit nor implementations has yet been made in Libya. The latter is due to the lack of awareness by many Libyan social groups. From here, the idea behind this paper crystalized. It aims to spread and enhance the knowledge and techniques of green building. It also penetrates into the green building features and advantages that are considered to be a preliminary step to start its application in a wide range coinciding with the grand progress that the country has witnessed in the field of construction and housing. This paper concludes that it is possible to reduce energy consumption and the harm it causes to the environment after the implementation and merging of green building techniques and should be applied on a large scale covering the whole country.

In the present research work, the effect of extrusion temperature from 480 to 560 °C on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of the SiCnw/2024Al composite (15 vol.%) has been explored. It has been found that extrusion at higher temperature (above 520 °C) was beneficial for the densification of the composite, while the residual average length and alignment of the SiC nanowires were also increased with the extrusion temperature. Moreover, higher extrusion temperature was helpful for the mechanical strength of the SiCnw/2024Al composite, and the peak-aged SiCnw/2024Al composite extruded at 560 °C revealed the highest strength (709.4 MPa) and elastic modulus (109.8 GPa).

ABSTRACT The hydroxyapatite calcium phosphate based ceramic (Hap) is widely used for bone repair, as it is a biocompatible biomaterial and because it has osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. However, the low mechanical strength of Hap may limit its applicability. Thus, the present work aims to improve the mechanical properties of Hap, associating it with alumina (Al2O3), using the powder metallurgy technique, which consists in the milling of the precursor powders in a planetary ball mill, uniaxial pressing and sintering. The microstructure and mechanical strength of the sintered samples were evaluated using density, microhardness, compressive strength and wettability tests. It was concluded that the use of Al2O3 in the composite improves the mechanical properties of Hap, while decreases its hydrophilic potential. Thus, the composition with 40% Hap / 60% Al2O3 was considered the best for biomedical applications.

Friction stir welding can be applied to weld dissimilar aluminum alloys which have different chemical and mechanical properties without causing any weld defects under a wide range of welding conditions. In this study, AA2024-T3 and AA6063-T6 aluminum alloys were selected and successfully welded in butt position together using by friction stir welding. The welding trials were conducted using different rotational speed and traverse speed conditions also investigating their effect on mechanical and micro-structural behavior of friction stir welding joints. The micro-structural evolution of the material was analyzed by optical observations and scanning electron microscopy inspections of the weld cross-sections. Tension and fatigue studies were also employed to the study. On the other hand, the fracture characterizations of samples were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Fatigue tests were performed by using a resonant electro-mechanical fatigue testing machine by axial bending fatigue test procedure. The fatigue strength has been analyzed drawing S-N curves. Experimental results indicate that micro-structural and mechanical properties are significantly affected by changing welding parameters within the chosen range of welding conditions.
