The aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of anodization on the fatigue and corrosion-fatigue behavior of the AZ31B magnesium alloy. Samples were anodized in constant current density mode at 20 mA cm−2 for 5 min at room temperature, in an environmentally friendly electrolyte consisting of a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate. Fatigue tests were conducted in air and in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at room temperature in the tension-tension mode, at a frequency of 5 Hz and stress ratio of 0.1. S-N curves were obtained for polished and anodized samples. Fracture surface morphology was examined by optical stereo-microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Results indicated that the fatigue limit was reduced approximately 60% at 106 cycles for the anodized specimens, either for the fatigue tests conducted in air or PBS solution. Anodization had a remarkable effect on the fatigue behavior of the AZ31B alloy. The effect of the corrosive environment, in turn, was not significant.

As one of the key components of non-ballast slab track in high speed railway, cement asphalt emulsion mortar (CAM) has low compressive strength and low elastic modulus. This makes CAM possible to be served as supporting, height-adjusting, vibration-dissipating and deformation-fitting sandwich-layer between pre-stress slab and concrete roadbed. To study the fatigue behavior of the CAM, fatigue tests were conducted at room temperature and negative temperature, respectively. The permanent strain, elastic modulus and yield strength of fatigue-tested specimens were compared to the reference one. The results showed that the small permanent deformation lead to very little displacement differences among the slab track system. Secondly, the elastic modulus and yield strength of fatigue test specimens were both higher than that of reference one. Because the fatigue process might strengthen the CAM by compacting micro-cracks. Additionally, arising from the temperature sensitivity of asphalt, viscosity behavior of asphalt mortar at room temperature is changed to brittleness behavior at negative temperature.

Abstract A gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric (GC/MS) method is described for the determination of residual erythromycin in beef and pork. This method allows detection and quantitation of residual erythromycin in beef and pork by using single-ion monitoring; confirmation by a full scan electron impact mass spectrum is possible if residual level in a sample is ≥ 1 ppm. Erythromycin is extracted with methanol from a sample and cleaned up by n-hexane washing followed by partition between chloroform and phosphate buffer solution. The cleaned up extract is chromatographed on a silica gel column, acid hydrolyzed, and acetylated in acetic anhydride-pyridine mixture (1 + 2) at room temperature. The reaction mixture is injected into the GC/MS apparatus, and detection and quantitation are conducted using single-ion monitoring at m/z 200. The recoveries (CV, %) at 1 and 0.1 ppm fortification levels are 86% (2.7%) and 72% (7.7%), and the detection limit is 0.01 ppm.

The formability of the magnesium alloy sheets is poor at room temperature even though the magnesium alloy sheets are attractive because of their excellent characteristics. Application of pulsating hydroforming is a new and effective method to improve the formability. The effects of the pressure amplitude on the maximum bulging height and minimum wall thickness of the formed parts of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets are examined using finite element simulations. It is shown that the distribution of maximum bugling height and minimum wall thickness is similar for different pressure amplitude A, and a uniform expansion in bulging region is obtained, the cause of the uniform expansion obtained may be caused by the variation of stress components. The AZ31B sheet has an excellent performance in formability when the pressure amplitude and pulsating frequency are properly selected.

The fatigue performance of one widely used wrought magnesium alloy AZ31B in rolled form was studied using acoustic emission (AE). AE energy release during corrosion fatigue (CF) testing was measured at room temperature. It is found that AE energy release can express corrosion fatigue damage experienced by the material.
