The microstructure and properties of 7003 aluminum alloy with and without burning have been investigated by means of electronic tensile machine, optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the burning level of 7003 alloy increases while the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (YS) for the alloy decrease with increasing the solution temperature. When the solution temperature is higher than 763 K, the UTS and YS for the alloy decline fast with wide-range. The remelting structure, namely burnt structure, appeared on the grain boundaries in 7003 aluminum alloy and then weaken grain boundary, hence resulting in the transition of fracture surfaces from transgranular fracture to intergranular fracture.

In this study, 45 carbon steel was boronized and borosulphurized at 950°C for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 h, respectively. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, optical microscope, microhardness tester and ring-on-block wear tester. It is found that the surface of borosulphurized samples was dense, compact and relatively smooth; Although the boride layers produced by boro- sulphurizing at 950°C showed a lower microhardness value compared with that produced by boronizing, the wear resistance of the borosulphurized carbon steel is higher than that of boronized sample due to formation of FeS phase in the boride layer.

The microstructure and properties of 7003 aluminum alloy before and after aging under various solid solution treatment parameters have been studied by electronic tensile machine, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). It’s showed that the strength decreased while the ductility increased with raising the solid solution temperature before aging; the strength decreased and then increased while the ductility increased and then decreased with increasing the solid solution time. The strength of 7003 aluminum alloy after aging were evidently higher than those before aging, and the samples solutioned at 743 K for 70 min were of the best mechanical properties with YS=286 MPa, UTS=345 MPa, E=15.5%, which are higher than those of the original alloy by 2.1%, 1.5% and 29.1% respectively. Hence 743 K/70 min is one of the best solid solution regimes.

Effects of minor silver addition on microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistances of Al-8Zn-1.Cu-1.3Mg-0.1Zr alloys were investigated using optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mechanical properties and corrosion testing. The results show that minor silver addition decreases the recrystallization and corrosion resistance of the t77-tempered alloys.Tensile strength of the based alloy was increased by the 0.1 wt% silver addition.

Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most suitable materials for 3D printing. Blending with nanoparticles improves some of its properties, broadening its application possibilities. The article presents a study of composite PLA matrix filaments with added unmodified and lignin/polymerised lignin surface-modified nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC). The influence of untreated and surface-modified NFC on morphological, mechanical, technological, infrared spectroscopic, and dynamic mechanical properties was evaluated for different groups of samples. As determined by the stereo and scanning electron microscopy, the unmodified and surface-modified NFCs with lignin and polymerised lignin were present in the form of plate-shaped agglomerates. The addition of NFC slightly reduced the filaments’ tensile strength, stretchability, and ability to absorb energy, while in contrast, the initial modulus slightly improved. By adding NFC to the PLA matrix, the bending storage modulus (E’) decreased slightly at lower temperatures, especially in the PLA samples with 3 wt% and 5 wt% NFC. When NFC was modified with lignin and polymerised lignin, an increase in E’ was noticed, especially in the glassy state.

Abstract Historically, sutras played an important role in spreading Buddhist faith and doctrine, and today these remain important records of Buddhist thought and culture. A Mahamayuri Vidyarajni Sutra with polychrome paintings was found inside the cavity on top of the Nanmen Buddhist pagoda, built in the early Tang dynasty (618–627 CE) and located in Anhui Province, China. Textile was found on the preface which is strongly degraded and fragile. Unfortunately, the whole sutra is under severe degradation and is incomplete. Technical analysis based on scientific methods will benefits the conservation of the sutra. Optical microscopy (OM), micro-Raman spectroscopy combined with optical microscope (Raman), scanning electron microscopy in combination with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM–EDS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize the pigment and gilded material, as well as the paper fiber and textile. Pigments such as cinnabar, minium, paratacamite, azurite, lead white were found. Gilded material was identified as gold. A five-heddle warp satin, made of silk, was found as the textile on the preface of the sutra. The sutra’s preface and inner pages were made of paper comprised of bamboo and bark. As a magnificent yet recondite treasure of Buddhism, the sutra was analyzed for a better understanding of the material. A conservation project of the sutra will be scheduled accordingly.

The influence of the mechanical properties of X70 pipeline steel under different annealing temperature was studied. The corresponding microstructure was investigated by the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy. The results showed that the yield strength and the tensile strength both experienced from rise to decline with the increase of annealing temperature. The grain sizes were coarse and a large amount of cementite precipitated due to preserving temperature above 550 °, which induced matrix fragmentation and deteriorate the -10 ° DWTT Toughness. There were little changes on the microstructure and mechanical properties when the annealing temperature was under 500 °.

Structural plaster properties of the residence type buildings that were constructed during prerepublic and early republic periods in Demirci were investigated within the scope of this study. Samples taken from the existing structures were dried in laboratory conditions and made ready for micro-structure examination. Proper samples were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with the sensitivity of 5 nm and a magnification of 20.000 times, and the optical microscope (magnification: 250 x). In the light of obtained results, it has been determined that the microstructure of the composite used in the Demirci county in the preRepublican period and early republic period is similar to the resultant of mixes produced with the modern fiber added composite production technology. It is thought that this study will contribute to the study of the production of the related building materials to be improved in the future within the limits of the district.

Flax fabric was woven and composites were produced by using the VARI technique with flax fabric as the reinforcement and unsaturated polyester as the matrix. Laminates with two, three and four layers were fabricated respectively. After saturated in the water for different durations of time (7, 14, 21 and 30 days), the tensile strength of the composites was tested. After being soaked in the water for 7, 14 and 21 days, the tensile strength of the two-layer composites was decreased. For the three and four layers specimens, the tensile strength was increased initially with water treatment for 7 and 14 days,and decreased for 21 and 30 days. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed that it might be contributed to the thickness of the two-layer composites. The thinner specimen is easier to be damaged by the penetrated moisture owing to the delamination between the fiber and the matrix after water immersion. For the three and four layers specimens, their contradictory tensile strength suggests that the thicker specimen can delay the moisture permeation and is of better water durability.

AbstractLower mechanical strength, reduced cohesive strength and lack of compatibility with other interconnect materials, are the major challenges involved in chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of Cu metallization with ultra low-k materials as interlayer dielectrics. In this study we have investigated the polishing behavior of patterned Cu samples with underneath different low-k materials using two different slurries and a wide range of machine parameters. CMP micro tribometer was used to polish the samples with different rotations of platen (50 to 250 RPM) and down forces (1-6 PSI). Friction co-efficient and wear behavior were also investigated at different conditions. Optical and scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate the polished surface. It was observed that the two different Cu slurries used for polishing have marked effects on the polishing of Cu-low-k stack with respect to wear and delamination.
