7055 aluminum alloy reinforced with 15wt. % TiB2 particulates was synthesized by in situ method, the microstructure and tensile properties were investigated. There are a few particulate clusters in the matrix. The elastic modulus and hardness of the composite are higher than that of the matrix alloy, but the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength decrease. The decrease of strength is attributed to the presence of TiB2 particulate cluster and residual reaction slag.

Abstract Digital light processing (DLP) is an emerging vatphotopolymerization-based 3D-printing technology where full layers of photosensitive resin are irradiated and cured with projected ultraviolet (UV) light to create a three-dimensional part layer-by-layer. Recent breakthroughs in polymer chemistry have led to a growing number of UV-curable elastomeric photoresins developed exclusively for vat photopolymerization additive manufacturing (AM). Coupled with the practical manufacturing advantages of DLP AM (e.g., industry-leading print speeds and sub-micron-level print resolution), these novel elastomeric photoresins are compelling candidates for emerging applications requiring extreme flexibility, stretchability, conformability, and mechanically-tunable stiffness (e.g., soft robotic actuators and stretchable electronics). To advance the role of DLP AM in these novel and promising technological spaces, a fundamental understanding of the impact of DLP manufacturing process parameters on mechanical properties is requisite. This paper highlights our recent efforts to explore the process-property relationship for ELAST-BLK 10, a new commercially-available UV-curable elastomer for DLP AM. A full factorial design of experiments is used to investigate the effect of build orientation and layer thickness on the quasi-static tensile properties (i.e., small-strain elastic modulus, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation at fracture) of ELAST-BLK 10. Statistical results, based on a general linear model via ANOVA methods, indicate that specimens with a flat build orientation exhibit the highest elastic modulus, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation at fracture, likely due to a larger surface area that enhances crosslink density during the curing process. Several popular hyperelastic constitutive models (e.g., Mooney-Rivlin, Yeoh, and Gent) are calibrated to our quasi-static tensile data to facilitate component-level predictive analyses (e.g., finite-element modeling) of soft robotic actuators and other emerging soft-matter applications.

The microstructures and tensile properties of as-cast, solution-treated and aged Mg-4Zn-2Sn-2Al (wt.%) alloy have been investigated. The microstructure of the as-cast alloy consists of α-Mg, Mg2Sn and Mg32(Al,Zn)49 phases. The yield tensile strength and the ultimate tensile strength of the as-cast alloy are 87.7 MPa and 241.3 MPa, respectively, and the elongation reaches to 18.8% showing excellent ductility. After solution treatment, all of the Mg32(Al,Zn)49 phase and the majority of Mg2Sn particles have dissolved into the matrix. During aging process, Mg2Sn phase precipitates from the α-Mg supersaturated solid solution. With the precipitation strengthening of Mg2Sn phase, the yield tensile strength and the ultimate tensile strength of the alloy increase to 112.5 MPa and 280.4 MPa, respectively, while, the elongation decreases to 12%.

The tensile properties of PLA/PBAT blends, PLA fibre reinforced PBAT composite (PLAF) at room temperature and -18°C were investigated. The concentrations of PLA in the blends were 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% (by volume). There was an improvement of elastic modulus (E) for PLA/PBAT blends when PLA was 40%. There was no significant difference of ultimate tensile strength (UTS) among the blends. For the same concentration of PLA (40%) in PLA-PBAT mixture, PLAF exhibited higher values of E and UTS than that of PLA/PBAT blends. Elongation of PLA/PBAT blends rapidly decreased upon the addition of PLA to the blends. The values of E and UTS for PLA/PBAT blends and composite, neat PLA, and PP increased with the decreasing of temperature from room temperature to -18°C. The effect of decreasing temperature was not observed on elongation. It was appeared from the results obtained for FTIR and DSC measurements that PLA and PBAT were immiscible, separating into two phases.

Al 2 O 3 particles reinforced ZL109 composite was prepared by in situ reaction between Fe 2 O 3 and Al . The phases were identified by XRD and the microstructures were observed by SEM and TEM. The Al 2 O 3 particles in sub-micron size distribute uniformly in the matrix and Fe displaced from the in situ reaction forms net-like alloy phases with Cu , Ni , Al , Mn ect. The hardness and the tensile strength at room temperature of the composites have a small increase compared with the matrix. However, the tensile strength at 350°C can reach 92.18 MPa, which is 18.87 MPa higher than that of the matrix. The mechanism of the reaction in the Fe 2 O 3/ Al system was studied by DSC. The reaction between Fe 2 O 3 and Al involves two steps. The first step in which Fe 2 O 3 reacts with Al to form FeO and Al 2 O 3 takes place at the matrix alloy melting temperature. The second step in which FeO reacts with Al to form Fe and Al 2 O 3 takes place at a higher temperature.

In-situ TiB2 particles reinforced AA7055 composites were fabricated through mixed-salts route and their bending properties were studied. The composites reinforced with 5 wt % and 10 wt% TiB2 exhibit higher bending strength than the unreinforced matrix alloy. The improvement in bending strength may be attributed to dislocation strengthening, Orowan strengthening, and grain strengthening. The good bonding between the reinforcements and the matrix also plays an important role.

Although alloy QCr0.5 has been used as the contact materials in the high-voltage equipment extensively, but it always confronts the awkwardness of over aging in the heat treatment, and results in brittleness during the switching on and breaking process. In the present work by the technology of interalloy-adding, the Zr-containing alloy Cu-0.8Cr-0.2Zr has been prepared and investigated. The results of the microstructure and properties indicate that the alloy matrix maintains FCC microstructure and lots of Zr-containing precipitation is dispersed in the matrix uniformly. The brinell hardness, the ultimate tensile strength and the elastic modulus increase greatly, reach 140 MPa, 430 Mpa and 130 GPa respectively, meanwhile the electric conductivity maintains 75%IACS and the softening temperature is up to 550 °C.

TiB2/7055 composite was synthesized by a new melt direct reaction from 7055-(Al-3B)-Ti system with ultrasound. The phase composition and the microstructures of the as-prepared samples were investigated by XRD, SEM and EDS. The result shows that no Al3Ti phase is in existence. With the assistance of ultrasound, grains are significant refined. Moreover, the wettability between matrix and particles is improved. The shapes of TiB2 particles are mainly hexagonal or near-spherical, and the size is about 500nm. TiB2 particles are with uniform distribution. Compared with 7055Al matrix alloy, the tensile strength of the composite reaches 303MPa, increased by 10.2%. However, the elongation is 7.3%, decreased by 4.8%.

The primary goal of this study was to investigate the monotonic tensile behavior of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in its virgin, regrind, and laminated forms. HDPE is the most commonly used polymer in many industries. A variety of tensile tests were performed using plate-type specimens made of rectangular plaques. Several factors can affect the tensile behavior such as thickness, processing technique, temperature, and strain rate. Testing temperatures were chosen at −40, 23 (room temperature, RT), 53, and 82 °C to investigate temperature effect. Tensile properties, including elastic modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength, were obtained for all conditions. Tensile properties significantly reduced by increasing temperature while elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength linearly increased at higher strain rates. A significant effect of thickness on tensile properties was observed for injection molding specimens at 23 °C, but no thickness effect was observed for compression molded specimens at either 23 or 82 °C. The aforementioned effects and discussion of their influence on tensile properties are presented in this paper. Polynomial relations for tensile properties, including elastic modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength, were developed as functions of temperature and strain rate. Such relations can be used to estimate tensile properties of HDPE as a function of temperature and/or strain rate for application in designing parts with this material.

In this paper, Ti-6Al-4V matrix composites reinforced with 5% or 10% TiB and TiC were in situ synthesized by common casting and hot-forging technology utilizing the reaction between titanium and B4C. The phase constituents were identified by XRD while transus temperatures were determined by DSC and metallography. The evolution of microstructures was studied by optical microscopy. The effects of reinforcements on the microstructures, tensile properties and fractures at room temperature were discussed. The results show that yield strength and ultimate tensile strength increased significantly while ductility decreased with reinforcements increasing. Fracture type turned to brittle when reinforcements increased.
