The paper discusses the influence of processing parameters on the hardness of LD10 aluminum alloy coating treated by the power source with positive and negative pulse in the alkaline electrolyte. Lots of experiments were done with different processing parameters including positive current density, negative current density, frequency, duty ratio, processing time and electrolyte temperature, and the micro-hardness tester HVS-1000 was used to measure the coating hardness. The results indicate that elevating the duty ratio, or reducing the frequency can be advantageous to improve the coating hardness, and the coating is the hardest treated in electrolyte at the 30°C. And when the value of the positive and negative current density is reasonable, and the processing time rationally matches with the current density, the coating with HV2800 can be obtained.

Energy-efficient processing of TiB compound with nanowhiskers by micropyretic synthesis is investigated in this paper. Micropyretic synthesis not only offers shorter processing time but also excludes the requirement for high-temperature sintering and it is considered as the one of the novel energy-saving processing techniques. Experimental study and numerical simulation are both carried out to investigate the correlation of the processing parameters on the microstructures of the micropyretically synthesized products. The diffusion-controlled reaction mechanism is proposed in this study. It is noted that nanosize TiB whiskers only occurred when the combustion temperature is lower than the melting point of TiB but higher than the extinguished temperature. The results generated in the numerical calculation can be used as a helpful reference to select the proper route of processing nanosize materials. The Arrhenius-type plot of size and temperature is used to calculate the activation energy of TiB reaction. In addition to verifying the accuracy of the experimental measures, the reaction temperature for producing the micropyretically synthesized products with nanofeatures can be predicted.

This work investigates the effect of low frequency vibratory processing for cleaning and washing various machine components parts from rusts and old paints deposits. The experimental investigation was carried out with special prepared samples that were weighted and exposed to paints and rust contaminants. These samples were treated in universal horizontal vibration machine UVHM 4 × 10 with different combination of instrumental processing medium, process fluid, machine amplitude and frequency of oscillations. They were periodically reweighted after processing and compared to etalon with control of quantity of dust that have been removed, sample cleanliness and also other functional parameters. Statistical analysis has been used to characterize ongoing process and full factorial analysis to establish experimental parameters dependency. The result is showing the complex dependence of samples cleanliness to each processing parameters like processing time, amplitude of oscillations, frequency of oscillations, process fluid parameters, instrumental medium, etc. Between this parameters although the most important successively the amplitude of oscillations, the frequency of oscillations the processing medium and the processing fluid depending to his considered composition, the optimal processing time can be reach only by complex combination of all this parameters every of them carry an amplify coefficient. Low frequency oscillations can be used to monitor and optimize washing and cleaning operations of paints and rusts contaminations. That guarantees process automation, its effectiveness for a large industrial application.

Previously shown that coatings formed on titanium by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in an electrolyte with zirconium sulfate Zr(SO4)2 consisted of ZrO2 and TiO2 oxides, their surface layer is enriched with zirconium, they have good protective properties in chlorine-containing media. The resulting layers have a fairly regular distribution of relatively small pores, with a diameter of about 1 μm or less, on the surface. The composition and structure of PEO layers depend on both the composition of the electrolyte and the modes of formation. It is of scientific and practical interest to elucidate the effect of the conditions for the formation of coatings with ZrO2 on titanium and its alloys on their anticorrosive properties in chlorine-containing media. Samples for research were formed under anodic (unipolar) conditions at the same current density and different formation times. The samples were formed in modes with current density 0.08 A/cm2 and processing time (minutes) − 8.5; 9.5; 10; 11; 12; 13; 14; 15; 20; 30; 40; 60. The duration of treatment was chosen as to maximally repeat the anticorrosive characteristics obtained in the previous case. The work uses modern research methods, including electron microscopy, presents the results of further study of ZrO2 + TiO2 / Ti systems formed in an electrolyte with zirconium sulfate Zr(SO4)2. It has been established that coatings are formed on titanium and its alloys in an electrolyte with zirconium sulfate under galvanostatic conditions of the PEO process at i = 0.08 A / cm2 during a processing time of 11-15 min. There is a correlation between the stages of galvanostatic formation of coatings and their anticorrosive properties.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the metal components fabricated by laser cladding. In the present study, two process of laser cladding were conducted, that is pre-placed powder cladding and coaxial powder-feed cladding. The effect of processing parameters was studied and optimum set of parameters for the superior surface quality was established by employing the orthogonal design. The fabricated components were subjected to metallographic examinations and micro-hardness measurement. Results indicated that the microstructure of coaxial cladding components was finer than pre-placed powder cladding components. The micro-hardness of the fabricated specimen along and vertical the scanning direction were measured using a HVS-1000 micro-hardness tester with a 200 g applied load. Analysis of the physical properties provided further evidence of differences in micro-hardness produced by different process conditions, and the average micro-hardness value of pre-placed power cladding layer was lower than the coaxial powder-feed cladding layer.

This paper presents results of tribological tests performed under lubricated friction conditions using a T-01M analyser. The lubricant was biodegradable cutting fluid containing a special-purpose additive – zinc aspartate. The discs for the ball-on-disc configuration were made of HS6-5-2C steel. The study involved testing coated and uncoated steel specimens. The a-C:H and TiAlN coatings were produced using physical vapour deposition (PVD). The structure of the coatings was analysed before and after the tribological tests with a JSM-7100F scanning electron microscope. The coating hardness was measured using a CSM Instruments nano-hardness tester (NHT). The coating surface texture of the coated and uncoated discs was determined by means of a Talysurf CCI Lite profilometer. The thin boundary films that formed in the friction area prevented the surfaces from coming into direct contact. The films improved the motion resistance and provided anticorrosive protection during the tests. The biodegradable cutting fluid used in the study had no negative effect on the environment.

Ni-ZrO2-CeO2nanocomposite coatings were prepared by pulse electrodeposition. The effect additions of ZrO2and CeO2nanoparticles, average current density, duty ratio and frequency of pulse current on nanoparticle contents of Ni-ZrO2-CeO2nanocomposites were studied. The surface morphologies and microhardness of different nanocomposite coatings (Ni-ZrO2, Ni-CeO2, Ni-ZrO2-CeO2) were analyzed. The results show that, with the average current density, duty ratio and frequency increased, the nanoparticle contents increased at first and then decreased. Compared with Ni-ZrO2and Ni-CeO2, the surface morphology of Ni-ZrO2-CeO2nanocomposite coating showed better smooth surface and more compact microstructure, the microhardness was also higher.

Ni-ZrO2-CeO2 nanocomposite coating was prepared by pulse electrodeposition. The effect of addition of ZrO2 and CeO2 nanoparticles, average current density, duty cycle and pulse current on microhardness of Ni-ZrO2-CeO2 nanocomposites were studied. The results show that microhardness of nanocomposite is increased at first and then decreased with the increasing additive amounts of two kinds of nanoparticles. With increasing reverse the average current density, the microhardness of the composite coating increases. Also, the microhardness of nanocomposite fall with the increasing of pulse frequency. With the positive duty ratio increasing, the microhardness of the composite coating increase at first and then decreased, but with the increasing of the reverse duty ratio, the microhardness of nanocomposite coating is gradually decreased.

“Kenaf-fibers- (KF-)” reinforced “thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)” composites were prepared by the melt-blending method followed by compression molding. Composite specimens were cut from the sheets that were prepared by compression molding. The criteria of optimization were testing the specimens by tensile test and comparing the ultimate tensile strength. The aim of this study is to optimize processing parameters (e.g., processing temperature, time, and speed) and fiber size using the Taguchi approach. These four parameters were investigated in three levels each. The L9 orthogonal array was used based on the number of parameters and levels that has been selected. Furthermore, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the significance of different parameters. The results showed that the optimum values were 180°C, 50 rpm, 13 min, and 125–300 micron for processing temperature, processing speed, processing time, and fiber size, respectively. Using ANOVA, processing temperature showed the highest significance value followed by fiber size. Processing time and speed did not show any significance on the optimization of TPU/KF.
