Abstract This article is part of the research on the microstructural phenomena that take place during hot deformation of intermetallic phase-based alloy. The research aims at design an effective thermo - mechanical processing technology for the investigated intermetallic alloy. The iron aluminides FeAl have been among the most widely studied intermetallics because their low cost, low density, good wear resistance, easy of fabrication and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. There advantages create wide prospects for their industrial applications for components of machines working at a high temperature and in corrosive environment. The problem restricting their application is their low plasticity and their brittle cracking susceptibility, hampers their development as construction materials. Consequently, the research of intermetallic-phase-based alloys focuses on improvement their plasticity by hot working proceses. The study addresses the influence of deformation parameters on the structure of an Fe-38% at. Al alloy with Zr, B Mo and C microadditions, using multi – axis deformation simulator. The influence of deformation parameters on microstructure and substructure was determined. It was revealed that application of cumulative plastic deformation method causes intensive reduction of grain size in FeAl phase base alloy.

The major problem restricting universal employment of intermetallic phase base alloy is their low plasticity which leads to hampering their development as construction materials. The following work concentrates on the analysis of microstructure and plasticity of ordered Fe3Al (D03) and FeAl (B2) during hot plastic deformation process.. The microstructure analyses applying optical electron microscopy and EBSD method have revealed the structure reconstruction processes occurring in Fe3Al and FeAl alloys. It has been shown that different mechanisms of the structural changes ensue from the thermal plastic strain in the investigated alloys, which influences their technological plasticity.

THE ANODIZING PROCESS OF ALUMINUM AND ITS ALLOYS: A HISTORICAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL APPROACH. Al and its alloys are found in several industrial applications. However, like most metals, this material is not immune to corrosion, being necessary to be protected against corrosion. One of the methods most commonly employed to improve the corrosion resistance of Al alloys is the anodizing process, which consists of thickening of the natural oxide (Al2O3) presents in Al through anodic oxidation. The anodizing process is accomplished by immersion of the Al alloy into an acid bath and passing an electric current through it. This process produces two layers: a barrier layer thicker than the natural oxide and a layer with regular arrangement of nanopores (porous layer). This duplex structure forms the anodized layer with a large specific surface area. With the advent of nanotechnology, this layer has been applied in other areas due to its low cost, stability, absence of toxicity, and biocompatibility. In this context, this paper addresses a historical and electrochemical review of the anodizing process of Al and its alloys, presenting the main events that culminated in the development of the current processes and the understanding of the relationship between the chemical reactions and the mechanisms that occur during nucleation and development of the oxide layer

Department of Materials Science at Silesian University of Technology since 10 years conducts researches to learn about the structural phenomena which occur during hot plastic treatment which are aimed at elaboration of a technology of heat and plastic treatment of selected alloys from Al-Fe diagram. The iron aluminides have been among the most widely studied intermetallics because their low cost, low density, good wear oxidation and corrosion resistance, to create wide prospects for their industrial applications, for components of machines working at a high temperature and in corrosive environment. The problem limiting their application is low plasticity and brittle cracking susceptibility. Consequently, the research of intermetallic-phase based alloys focuses on their plasticity. For the development of thermo-plastic treatment technology, it is necessary to determine internal variables describing the structure of an alloys being deformed is the inhomogeneity, grain size, as well as the grains misorientation angles and texture. The paper presents the course of structural changes of Fe-38Al with Zr, B Mo and C additions under the influence of hot plastic deformation with application of a few different temperatures of the process with given speed of deformation. For the structure and substructure investigations were used a light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.

Ball burnishing (ballizing) chip less process which produces a smooth surface and surface hardness. The pressure generated by the ball exceeds a plastic deformation stage and create a new surfaces. The plastic deformation created by ball burnishing is a cold flows under pressure into the valleys surface is smooth, Ballizing is a technique for sizing and finishing holes in metal components. It is a rapid and relatively low cost process. A suitably oversized precision ball is pressed through an unfinished undersized hole, A simple tooling such as a hardened ball and a push rod is required for this process. However an intensive analysis is essential for analysing the mechanics of the process. The ball burnishing is very useful process to improve upon surface roughness and can be employed. It will help to impart compressive stress and fatigue life can be improved. The Al alloy is a difficult to machine material and burnishing is difficult process for this grade material. A low surface roughness and hardness was obtained in increasing the operating parameters. It may develop flaw and micro cracks on the surface.

Abstract Metal alloys with matrix based on an Fe-Al system are generally considered materials for high-temperature applications. Their main advantages are compact crystallographic structure, long-range ordering and structural stability at high temperatures. These materials are based on an intermetallic phase of FeAl or Fe3Al, which is stable in the range from room temperature up to the melting point of 1240°C. Their application at high temperatures is also beneficial because of the low cost of production, very good resistance to oxidation and corrosion, and high mechanical strength. The casting alloy the structure of which includes the FeAl phase is, among others, highaluminium cast iron. This study has been devoted to the determination of the effect of vanadium and titanium on the transformation of the high-aluminium cast iron structure into an in-situ FeAl-VC composite.

Bamboo is a lightweight and high-strength raw materials that encouraged researchers to investigate and explore, especially in the field of biocomposite and declared as one of the green-technology on the environment as fully accountable as eco-products. This research was to assess the technical feasibility of making single-layer experimental Medium-Density Particleboard panels from the bamboo waste of a three-year-old (Dendrocalamus asper). Waste materials were performed to produce composite materials using epoxy resin (C21H25C105) from a natural treatment by soaking with an average of pH 7.6 level of sea-water. Three different types of MDP produced, i.e., bamboo waste strip MDP (SMDP), bamboo waste chips MDP (CMDP) and bamboo waste mixed strip-chips MDP (MMDP) by following the same process. The experimental panels tested for their physical-mechanical properties according to the procedures defined by ASTM D1037-12. Conclusively, even the present study shows properties of MDP with higher and comparable to other composite materials; further research must be given better attention as potential substitute to be used as hardwood materials, especially in the production, design, and construction usage.

A low-cost optical reflectivity sensor is proposed in this paper, able to detect the presence of objects or surface optical properties variations, at a distance of up to 20 m. A collimated laser beam is pulsed at 10 kHz, and a synchronous digital detector coherently measures the back-diffused light collected through a 1-inch biconvex lens. The sensor is a cost-effective solution for punctual measurement of the surface reflection at different distances. To enhance the interference immunity, an algorithm based on a double-side digital baseline restorer is proposed and implemented to accurately detect the amplitude of the reflected light. As results show, the sensor is robust against ambient light and shows a strong sensitivity on a wide reflection range. The capability of the proposed sensor was evaluated experimentally for object detection and recognition, in addition to dedicated measurement systems, like remote encoders or keyphasors, realized far from the object to be measured.

Lignocellulosic residues are low-cost abundant feedstocks that can be used for industrial applications. However, their recalcitrance currently makes lignocellulose use limited. In natural environments, microbial communities can completely deconstruct lignocellulose by synergistic action of a set of enzymes and proteins. Microbial degradation of lignin by fungi, important lignin degraders in nature, has been intensively studied. More recently, bacteria have also been described as able to break down lignin, and to have a central role in recycling this plant polymer. Nevertheless, bacterial deconstruction of lignin has not been fully elucidated yet. Direct analysis of environmental samples using metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metaproteomics approaches is a powerful strategy to describe/discover enzymes, metabolic pathways, and microorganisms involved in lignin breakdown. Indeed, the use of these complementary techniques leads to a better understanding of the composition, function, and dynamics of microbial communities involved in lignin deconstruction. We focus on omics approaches and their contribution to the discovery of new enzymes and reactions that impact the development of lignin-based bioprocesses.
