The EPDM/PP/OMMT nanocomposites were prepared with three different types of OMMT by melt extrusion method. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were investigated. The intercalated structures of the nanocomposites were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mechanical results showed that the OMMT (FMR242#) has the best reinforcement. When the content of OMMT was lower than 4wt. %, the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites improved greatly with the increase of the OMMT content.

ABSTRACTThe addition of Mo5Si3 as a reinforcing second phase in a MoSi2 matrix has been investigated for possible high temperature strengthening effects. MoSi2 with up to 45 vol % Mo5Si3 was fabricated using powder metallurgy (PM) and arc-casting (AC) techniques. Effects of processing routes, which result in different microstructures, on their mechanical properties are given. PM composites, which have an equiaxed microstructure, exhibit a limited increase in hardness. Higher hardnesses are observed in script-structured AC eutectics and Er-modifiedeutectics throughout the temperatures studied (25–1300°C). Crack propagation paths induced by indentation show long transphase cracks in the AC materials vs short intergranular and interphase cracks in the PM composites at high temperatures.Transmission electron microscopy discloses that the interface in the AC composites has a low-index orientation relationship between the two phases and shows regularly faceted interfacial structures, while planar interfaces are found in the PM composites. These observations suggest the interface is stronger and lower in energy in the AC composites, which is consistent with the higher hardness values and long transphase cracks observed.Dislocation analysis shows the presence of ordinary dislocations (<100>, <110> and 1/2<111>) in MoSi2 in the as-fabricated composites. These types of dislocation are also responsible for the high temperature plastic deformation in compression in both the monolithic MoSi2 and the composites. <331> types of dislocation are only found in MoSi2 either near the interface of the AC composites or in materials deformed below 1000°C.

Cast Condition

The microstructure and mechanical properties of a cast near β type titanium alloy, Ti-25Nb-3Zr-3Mo-2Sn, have been investigated in this paper. In the as cast condition, the alloy possesses coarse, equiaxed β grains and Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM) observations showed the ω phase is also present in this condition. The alloy in the as cast condition has low strength and is highly ductile. Direct ageing at 450°C for 4 hours leads to the formation of a large number of fine scale α phase precipitates. The alloy in the aged condition is less ductile but exhibits significantly enhanced strength.

ABSTRACTIn an attempt to produce a two-phase alloy consisting of a L21–structured (Fe, Ni)2MnAl-based phase in either a B2 or b.c.c. matrix, seven Fe-Ni-Mn-Al alloys were cast. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the as-cast alloys revealed a range of microstructures including single phase L21, a f.c.c./B2 eutectic, and alternating, coherent 10–60 nm wide ordered and disordered b.c.c. rods aligned along <100>. A description of the phases, including chemical compositions and hardnesses is presented.

Alpha Beta

The mechanical properties of three titanium alloys (Ti-7Mo-3Al, Ti-7Mo- 3Cu and Ti-7Mo-3Ta) were evaluated as function of: 1) Solutionizing in the beta field and aging, 2) Thermal Mechanical Processing in the beta field and aging, 3) Solutionizing in the alpha + beta field and aging. The samples were isothermally aged in the temperature range 300° to 700*C for 4 to 24 hours, followed by a water quench. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray method were used to identify the phase formed. All three alloys solutionized at 1050°C (beta field) transformed to martensitic alpha (alpha prime) upon being water quenched. Despite this heavily strained alpha prime, which is characterized by microtwins the tensile strength of the as-quenched alloys is relatively low and the elongation is as high as 30%.

In some applications such as automotive oxygen sensor, 5mol% Y2O3stabilized zirconia (5YSZ) is generally used because it has both excellent ionic conductivity and mechanical properties. The automotive oxygen sensor would experience a cyclic change from high temperature (engine running) environment to the low temperature damp environment (in the tail pipe when vehicle stops). The conductivity change with coupled conditions of thermal cycle and dump environment in the 5mol%Y2O3ZrO2(5YSZ) system was examined by XRD,Impedance spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (SEM) in this paper.

Polyacrylate microgel emulsion was prepared by emulsion polymerization using styrene, α-n-butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate as monomer, polyoxyethylene octylphenol ether (TX-30) and sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) as combine emulsifier, divinyl benzene and ammonium persulfate (APS) as initiator，respectively. The prepared microgel was analyzed by a variety of measurment methods, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The effect of microgel on the rheological properties of adhesives, leveling, mechanical properties and pigment printing performance was studied. The rhelogy and the color fastness of the pigment printing binder of printed fabrics were measured by rheometer and friction color fastness test instruments, respectively. At the same time, the mechanical properties of the adhesive film was measured by strength tester. The results show that the thixotropy, leveling and mechanical properties of adhesive printing binder and pringting quality of coating fabrics were improved when the microgel was added.

Thermal Stability Of

Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy have been widely used in aerospace industry. However, there is still a lack of research on thermal stability of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy products. In the present work, an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy with T79 and T74 states was placed in the corresponding environment for thermal exposure experiments. Performance was measured by tensile strength, hardness and electrical conductivity. In this paper, precipitation observation was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM). The precipitations of T79 state alloy were GPⅡ zone, η' phase and η phase while the ultimate tensile strength, hardness and electrical conductivity were 571MPa, 188.2HV and 22.2MS×m-1, respectively. The mechanical property of T79 state alloy decreased to 530MPa and 168.5HV after thermal exposure. The diameter of precipitate increased and the precipitations become η' and η phase at the same time. During the entire thermal exposure, T74 state alloy had the same mechanical property trend as T79 state alloy. The precipitate diameter also increased while the types of precipitate did not change under thermal exposure. The size of precipitates affected the choice of dislocation passing through the particles to affect the mechanical properties.

Multi-pass hot rolling was performed on bi-modal Ti-55511 alloy with 50% rolling reduction at 700 °C. Mechanical properties were evaluated by tensile test, and microstructure evolution was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the Ti-55511 alloy with bi-modal microstructure exhibits good strength and high ductility (1102 MPa, 21.7%). Comparatively, after 50% hot rolling, an enhanced strength and decreased ductility were obtained. The refinement of α phases leads to the increased tensile strength, while the fragmentation of the equiaxed α phase results in a decreased ductility. The fragmentation process of equiaxed α phases followed the sequence of: elongation of α phases → formation of grooves and localized shear bands → the final fragmentation accomplished via deepening grooves.

We have used conventional and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy to investigate the microstruture of epitaxial, ferroelectric PbTiO3 films grown by pulsed laser ablation on (001) MgO single crystals, and on MgO covered with epitaxial Pt or SrTiO3. Pronounced variations are found in the widths and lengths of a-axis-oriented domains in these films, although the volume fraction of a-axis-oriented material varies only weakly for the different types of samples. In addition, the films deposited onto Pt-coated MgO have a larger grain size than those deposited onto bare MgO or SrTiO3/MgO. Possible reasons for the variations in the distribution of a-axis-oriented material in these samples include differences in the elastic properties and electrical conductivities of the different substrate combinations.

Zn Addition

7072Al is widely used as cladding layer for heat-transfer components. In this paper, the microstructure, mechanical properties and electrochemical properties of simulated-brazing 7072Al alloy with Zn addition were investigated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations revealed that, in the simulated-brazing state, Zn-addition could promote the precipitation in the 7072Al alloy. Tensile testing results indicated that, in comparison with 7072Al alloy, the mechanical properties were improved after Zn-addition. Electrochemical testing results revealed that the simulated-brazing alloy showed a negative shift of the corrosion potential with the addition of Zn element.
