A metal rapid prototyping technique, uniform droplet spraying, is utilized to fabricate 2024 Al alloy objects. Molten droplets are generated by drop-on-demand mode and deposited onto a zigzag moving substrate, which produces objects with different side surfaces. The tensile strength of the deposited specimen is 180.5 MPa, with elongation to fracture of ~8.2%. The fracture surface of deposited specimen presents two regions, namely, rough region and smooth region. The smooth region initially cracks under tension load, and the rough region presents many elongated dimples, indicating a ductile shear fracture. This unique tensile behavior could be attributed to weak metallurgical bonding between droplets and the special movement of substrate.

The Fe-based composite coatings were formed by plasma jet surface metallurgy using Fe, C, W, Cr and Al alloy powders on the low carbon steel. The morphology, microstructure, interface structure and the distribution of the in situ particles in the coatings were observed with optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and x-ray diffraction analysis. The results show that metallurgical bonding is obtained between coating and substrate, and the microstructure of coatings is mainly composed of γ-Fe, (Fe,Cr,W,Nb)7C3 and AlFe particles which are synthesized in stiu, are dispersivly distributed in the coatings. The micro-hardness gradually increased from bottom to the top of the coating, the maximum is 986 Hv0.1, about 4 times larger than that of the steel substrate.

An emerging and still poorly explored application of aluminum foams is their potential use as permanent cores (inserts) in the casting of aluminum alloys. In this context, Al-based foams can introduce a weight reduction, the obtainment of cavities, a strength increase, the ability to absorb impact energy and vibration, acoustic insulation ability, the possibility to simplify the technological processes (no removal/recycling of traditional sand cores), and finally, they can be fully recyclable. Cymat-type Al foams with thin outer skin were used as permanent cores in Al-alloy gravity casting in the present research. Al-foams were characterized in terms of porosity, density, cell wall and skin thickness, surface chemical composition and morphology, and compression resistance. Cast objects with foam inserts were characterized by means of optical microscopy. The preservation of up to 50% of the initial porosity was observed for foam inserts with higher density. Metallurgical bonding between the foam core and the cast metal was observed in some regions.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of spot friction stir welded A 5052 alloy were investigated with insertion depth of welding tool. As the insertion depth of welding tool increased, the size of stirring zone increased and the thickness of upper sheet decreased. The value of shear load was the lowest at the shallowest insertion depth and increased to the highest value of 3.35 kN at a 1.6mm of insertion depth. An increase in the pin insertion depth beyond 1.6mm did not result in further increase in the lap shear load. Spot friction stir welded joints showed shear fracture mode at shallower insertion depths and fracture mode changed to plug fracture mode as the insertion depth was deeper.

Tensile properties of rheo-cast 7075-T6 Al alloy produced by Gas Induced Semi-Solid (GISS) technique was investigated as a function of temperatures from 25°C to 250 °C in order to assess the potent of high temperature applications. It was found that the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the alloy decreased steadily with increasing temperature. There was loss in strength of about 33% at 200°C and 46% at 250 °C comparing to the strength at room temperature. At T = 250 °C, the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the rheo-cast 7075-T6 Al alloy were higher than those of the wrought 7075-T651 Al alloy. Keyword: 7075 Al alloy; Gas Induced Semi Solid (GISS) technique; Elevated temperature tensile.

Droplet deposition and solidification is vital to dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of components prepared by uniform droplet spray (UDS) forming. In this paper, a volume-of-fluid (VOF) based model was developed to study the deposition and solidification processes of a 1 mm Al-4.5%Cu droplet generated by drop-on-demand jetting. The effects of droplet falling velocity (0.6-0.8 m/s), initial temperature (933-973 K), and substrate temperature (300-473 K) were investigated. The results show that the final morphology of the deposited droplet is largely dependent on falling velocity and substrate temperature. The solidified droplet obtained from an UDS experiment validates the numerical simulation.

Off-axis tensile behavior of two grades of hybrid laminates, GLARE-2 and GLARE-3, made of unidirectional glass/epoxy laminae (GFRP) and aluminum (Al) alloy sheets is examined for various fiber orientations, and the differences in mechanical properties between the unidirectional and cross-ply hybrid laminates are quantified. The problem of accurately describing the nonlinear deformation of GLARE laminates under off-axis loading conditions is revisited, and the effect of local nonlinear deformation in the constituent GFRP layers on the overall inelastic behavior of GLARE laminates subjected to inclined tensile loading is elucidated by means of elastic-plastic finite element (FE) analyses.
