The effect of severe plastic deformation by ECAP process on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the aluminium alloy EN AW 6082 produced by cold extrusion is investigated. In both states were evaluated the structural changes by light microscopy, the analysis particles in structures, by X-ray diffraction (XRD) in transmission mode by synchrotron radiation and mechanical properties. Severe plastic deformation leads to strengthening of investigated EN AW 6082 alloy but on the other hand the plasticity of ECAP-ed alloy decreases.

The changes of the phase composition, structure and physicomechanical properties of Ti‑40 mas % Nb after severe plastic deformation are investigated in this paper. By the methods of microstructural, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy it is determined that phase and structural transformations occur simultaneously in the alloy after severe plastic deformation. The martensitic structure formed after tempering disappears. The inverse α'' → β transformation occurs. The structure consisting of oriented refined grains is formed. The alloy is hardened due to the cold working. The Young modulus is equal to 79 GPa and it is less than that of initial alloy and close to the value obtained after tempering. It is possible that Young modulus is reduced by additional annealing.

The texture of Al – 0.7 wt. % Li alloy processed by two different methods of severe plastic deformation (SPD) has been investigated by X-ray diffraction, and analyzed in terms of the orientation distribution function (ODF). It was found that severe plastic deformation by both Equal Channel Angular extrusion (ECAE) and Hydrostatic Extrusion (HE) resulted in an ultrafine grained structure in an Al – 0.7 wt. % Li alloy. The microstructure, grain shape and size, of materials produced by SPD strongly depend on the technological parameters and methods applied. The texture of the investigated alloy differed because of the different modes of deformation. In the initial state the alloy exhibited a very strong texture consisting of {111} fibre component. A similar fibrous texture characteristic was also found after HE whereas after the ECAE the initial texture was completely changed.

AbstractThis study addresses issues with currently used bone adhesives, by producing novel glass based skeletal adhesives through modification of the base glass composition to include copper (Cu) and by characterizing each glass with respect to structural changes. Bioactive glasses have found applications in fields such as orthopedics and dentistry, where they have been utilized for the restoration of bone and teeth. The present work outlines the formation of flexible organic-inorganic polyacrylic acid (PAA) – glass hybrids, commercial forms are known as glass ionomer cements (GICs). Initial stages of this research will involve characterization of the Cu-glasses, significant to evaluate the properties of the resulting adhesives. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of annealed Cu glasses indicates the presence of partial crystallization in the glass. The structural analysis of the glass using Raman suggests the formation of CuO nanocrystals on the surface. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) further confirmed the formation of crystalline CuO phases on the surface of the annealed Cu-glass. The setting reaction was studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The mechanical properties of the Cu containing adhesives exhibited gel viscoelastic behavior and enhanced mechanical properties when compared to the control composition. Compression data indicated the Cu glass adhesives were efficient at energy dissipation due to the reversible interactions between CuO nano particles and PAA polymer chains.

The 7075 (Al-Zn-Mg-Cu) aluminium alloy is the reference alloy for aerospace applications due to its specific mechanical properties at room temperature, showing excellent tensile strength and sufficient ductility. Formability at high temperature can be improved by obtaining superplasticity as a result of fine, equiaxed and highly misoriented grains prone to deform by grain boundary sliding (GBS). Different severe plastic deformation (SPD) processing routes such as ECAP, ARB, HPT and FSP have been considered and their effect on mechanical properties, especially at intermediate to high temperatures, are studied. Refined grains as fine as 100 nm and average misorientations as high as 39o allow attainment of high strain rate superplasticity (HSRSP) at lower than usual temperatures (250-300oC). It is shown that increasing misorientations are obtained with increasing applied strain, and increasing grain refinement is obtained with increasing processing stress. Thus, increasing superplastic strains at higher strain rates, lower stresses and lower temperatures are obtained with increasing processing strain and, specially, processing stress.

Addition of RE elements to Al-containing Mg alloys can improve properties of Mg alloys at elevated temperatures. In the present investigation, hot-extruded AZ31+x%Nd.

The mechanical properties and microstructure of cement stone containing different sodium chloride (NaCl) have been investigated. Uni-axial compression experiments were used to study mechanical properties. The main crystalline phase composition of cement specimens was determined by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD). Surface morphology of cement stone was observed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The obtained results showed that compared with the other samples, the sample incorporated 14% sodium chloride was quite different, whose compressive strength was higher and microstructure was denser. The sodium chloride crystalline phase and the hydration (C-S-H) gel phase co-existed.

Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) is known to be an effective method of producing nanocrystalline materials, for instance by HPT and ECAP. These techniques are also capable of reproducing microstructures which arise naturally when high pressure and friction is involved, for example in wheel-rail contact problems. The resulting deformation layers build the origin point for fatigue cracks. For that reason the knowledge of the mechanical properties of these deformation layers are of vital importance. In the framework of this study a baintic rail steel quality was deformed by High Pressure Torsion up to distinctive equivalent strains at a nominal pressure of 6 GPa up to a final equivalent strain of 16. Afterwards the evolution of the resulting microstructure was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy, by microhardness measurements and X-ray diffraction. The bainitic structure showed a strong alignment and fragmentation into the shear direction with increasing strain, which was accompanied by an increase in hardness as well. X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the amount of retained austenite decreases dramatically after small amounts of strain, which indicates that retained austenite cannot be stabilized by high pressures. Torque measurements during deformation showed after strong hardening at the beginning, a saturation behaviour for higher strains, whereas for instance pearlitic rail steel qualities show further hardening.

The AlMgSi1 alloy is generally used in automotive industry owing to its excellent mechanical properties, which can be further improved by applying severe plastic deformation and heat treatment. The dislocation density in the material increases significantly during severe plastic deformation due to the characteristic intensive shear strain. Therefore the motion of dislocations becomes more and more retarded, consequently the strength improves. In addition, the motion of dislocations can be prevented by aging due to formation of coherent precipitations in the metal matrix in order to realize further increasing in strength. In this paper the combined effect of severe plastic deformation and artificial aging treatment on the evolution of mechanical properties was investigated. The samples were subjected to multiple forging (MF) process at room and enhanced temperature. One part of the deformed samples were heat treated at 150°C for different times. The deformed as well as deformed and heat treated samples were investigated by micro hardness testing and X-ray profile analysis.
