Investigations are conducted in order to maintain or to improve the selected properties of the group of foundry copper-tin alloys with nickel and titanium additions, at a limited fraction of the critical (deficit) element such as tin. The crystallisation process, as well as changes of the microstructure and selected mechanical properties of the CuSn8 alloy—occurring due to introducing alloying additions—were analysed. Investigations of the macro and microstructure were performed using optical and scanning electron microscopy. Based on the thermal analysis and thermodynamic modelling using the CALPHAD (CALculations of PHAse Diagrams) method, the crystallisation process was analysed. The identification of phases was performed by XRD (X-ray diffraction). In addition, such parameters as tensile strength-UTS, elongation-A and hardness-HBS were tested. Under the influence of the introduced titanium, the columnar crystals are reduced due to the crystallisation of the alloy at the walls of the mould. Precipitations (intermetallic phases) crystallize first (primary). The intermetallic phases associated with the presence of the alloying elements nickel and titanium are located in the interdendritic regions. In tin bronzes with titanium additions, hardness (HBS) increases, tensile strength (UTS) negligibly decreases, while elongation (A) significantly decreases. In the case of CuSnNi bronze, the addition of 0.2 wt.% Ti increases the hardness and increases ultimate tensile strength (UTS), while reducing the elongation (A). Higher Ti additions increase HBS, slightly decrease the tensile strength, and significantly reduce the elongation.

In this paper the results of microstructural investigations and methodology of detection of intermetallic compounds were reported. The microstructural investigations included the light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, chemical microanalysis and X-ray diffraction analysis. It was found that the microstructure of Mg-5Al-3Ca-0.7Sr-0.2Mn alloy consists of α-Mg, (Mg,Al)2Ca, Al3Mg13(Sr,Ca), Mg2Ca and Al2Ca intermetallic phases. The correct detection of these phases requires the high magnifications and a large number of measurements fields.

Abstract Dissimilar (AA6061 & AA7075-T6) friction welded aluminum joints were taken into the investigation to correlate the influences of friction time on tensile and metallurgical properties. The dissimilar metals were welded by varying the friction time from 2 s to 6 s with the following constant parameters: a rotating speed of 1200 rpm, friction pressure of 35 MPa, upset pressure of 35 MPa, and upset time of 3 s. The higher friction time during joint fabrication needs to be selected to attain good metallurgical bonding between rubbing surfaces. The highest tensile strength of 228 MPa was attained when the friction time was given as 4 s. Furthermore, the increase in friction time widened the width and reduced the hardness of the heat affected zone on the AA6061 side where joint failure occurred. Finally, the metallurgical features of the dissimilar specimens were characterized using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Other details related to the characterization and results of the testing were recounted.

Laser offset welding of 5052 aluminum to press-hardened steel using a brass interlayer was carried out. The cross-sectioned macrostructure and tensile strength were governed by varying the thickness of the brass interlayer. The maximum tensile strength reached 56.4 MPa when the thickness of brass interlayer was 0.05 mm. Subsequently, the interface microstructure, the nanoindentation characterization, and the fracture behavior were evaluated experimentally by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), and micro-X-ray diffraction (micro-XRD), respectively. It was found that the intermetallic compound (IMC) layer at the interface consisted of an Fe2Al5 layer and an FeAl layer, and the estimated nanohardness of Fe2Al5, FeAl, and Fe3Al were 16.11 GPa, 9.48 GPa, and 4.13 GPa, respectively. The fracture of the joint with the 0.05 mm brass interlayer was a mixture of cleavage fracture and intergranular fracture, while that of the joint with the 0.1 mm brass interlayer exhibited the characterization of a major dendrite arm, leaving a metallurgical connected zone consisting of the Al2Cu and the α-Al phase.

In present study an effort has been made to investigate the effect of changing the mode of mold cavity filling on mechanical properties and microstructure of cast aluminium. The pouring of the melt in mold cavity is avoided so as to check defects associated with it and instead of pouring, counter gravity filling of mold technique is utilized. The obtained properties and microstructure are compared with gravity poured (traditionally cast) aluminium. Characterization techniques like optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-Ray diffraction and mechanical testing like tensile and hardness of the cast samples is carried out. Hardness and tensile strength reported an increment of 22.37% and 26.71% respectively as compared to traditionally cast specimens. This enhancement in mechanical properties was attributed to improved microstructure obtained.

AbstractThe blends of polypropylene (PP)/polylactide (PLA) with or without compatibilizer, and with pro-oxidant (cobalt stearate/calcium stearate) and pro-oxidant filled PP were prepared by using the melt blending technique. Films of these blends were prepared by compression molding. PP85PL15 and PP85PL15MA4 were the optimum blends from the tensile strength point of view. The improvement in the tensile strength of PP85PL15MA4 blend was achieved by addition of 4 phr compatibilizer. Cobalt stearate and calcium stearate were added separately to PP85PL15MA4 blend in 0.2% (w/w) ratio. The optimized blends were further characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, rheological studies, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and biodegradability test. Rheological studies confirmed the pseudo-plastic nature of all the blend samples. SEM studies have revealed that the addition of PLA in PP85PL15 enhances the void and roughness on the blend. All the prepared blends have biodegraded in the composting environment and the blend containing pro-oxidant biodegraded to the maximum extent.

AbstractA series of blend membranes of quaternized polysulfone (QPSF) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were obtained by a novel method. The procedure of quaternization of chloromethylated polysulfone and the process of blend are synchronous. These blend membranes, prepared with quaternized polysulfone (QPSF) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), were characterized by FTIR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), tensile tests and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The degrees of swelling of the membranes in some solvent were also measured. The ionic resistances of the membranes were measured too. With the increasing of PVP content, the properties of the membranes have changed. The tensile strength of blend membrane dropped while the degrees of swelling of the membranes in water increased. The ionic resistance of the membrane dropped with the PVP content increasing in blend membranes. The polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) has good compatibility with quaternized polysulfone in blend membranes.

The Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (7A04) alloys were prepared by using the method of spraying forming and the hot extrusion. The changes of microstructure and mechanical properties of the spray deposited Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy underwent ageing, regression and reageing treatment (RRA) was studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and other methods. The results show that the tensile strength of the alloy aged at 120°C for 24 hours can reach the peak value (760MPa), but the elongation is only 4.8 percent. The toughness of the alloy regression treated at 160°C for 2 hours can increase to 9.0 percent, but its tensile strength decreases greatly (680MPa). The reaging treatment at 120°C can make the tensile strength up to 740MPa, while the elongation which is 8.2 percent still keeps a higher level.

Natural rubber (NR), 30% epoxidized natural rubber (ENR30) and organoclays (Nanomer I28E and I30E) are blended in Brabender. Dispersions of the organoclay in NR are investigated by X – ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed the increase of dispersion efficiency by the addition of ENR30 as a compatibilizer. The existence of organoclay I28E reduces the vulcanization time, while torque value increases slightly and mechanical properties (abrasion resistance, modulus M100, modulus M300, tensile strength, tear strength) are improved considerably.
