The paper investigates a variety of properties of thin aluminum sheets fabricated using physical action of pulsed magnetic fields and weak pulsed current. The possibility of using thermal resistant aluminum alloys parts in aircraft manufacturing, including ones made by forming processes which require sufficiently high plasticity of initial sheets, is widely discussed. Two possible technological options have been tested for manufacturing sheet samples of Al-Cu-Mn and Al-Mg-Si alloys. A set of properties has been investigated (thermal resistance, mechanical properties, specific electrical conductivity, macrostructure of weldability zones, corrosion resistance of alloy samples. Casted workpieces were thermo-mechanically treated by heating and upsetting to 50 – 55 % with consequent hardening and aging. After that workpieces were subjected to multi-cycle rolling up to 0.3x10-3 m. The achieved results demonstrate that after 400 hours of exposure to 250°C, the thermal resistant parameters by tensile strength are higher after the exposure to weak pulsed currents than after the exposure to pulsed magnetic fields. Maximal thermal resistant parameters by tensile strength and maximal electrical conductivity was achieved in 01327+Sc (Al-Mg-Si) alloy. The mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and Erichsen formability parameters were also determined.

In this study, changes in the microstructure, mechanical properties, and electrical conductivity of cast and extruded Al–Zn–Cu–Mg based alloys with the addition of Li (0, 0.5 and 1.0 wt.%) were investigated. The Al–Zn–Cu–Mg–xLi alloys were cast and homogenized at 570 °C for 4 hours. The billets were hot extruded into rod that were 12 mm in diameter with a reduction ratio of 38:1 at 550 °C. As the amount of Li added increased from 0 to 1.0 wt.%, the average grain size of the extruded Al alloy increased from 259.2 to 383.0 µm, and the high-angle grain boundaries (HGBs) fraction decreased from 64.0 to 52.1%. As the Li content increased from 0 to 1.0 wt.%, the elongation was not significantly different from 27.8 to 27.4% and the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) was improved from 146.7 to 160.6 MPa. As Li was added, spherical particles bonded to each other, forming an irregular particles. It is thought that these irregular particles contribute to the strength improvement.

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.

Electrical conductivity, tensile strength and micro-hardness of Cu-3.5wt.%Ti-0.1wt.%Zr-RE alloy were investigated after optimizing technics of plastic deformation and the heat treatment. The results show that good combination of the physical and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength 1160 MPa, micro-hardness 335 Hv and electrical conductivity 15 IACS% can be obtained on peak aging at 420°C for 7 h. Maximum strength was associated with the precipitation of metastable, ordered and coherent β/ (Cu4Ti) phase on peak aging. Then the strength decreased due to the precipitation of β (Cu3Ti) phase in alloys overaged.

Basalt filament yarn is a new type of high-performance fibers, which is formed by the direct drawing of basalt rock at high temperatures. It is a natural and environmentally friendly textile material. This paper mainly focuses on thermal resistance research of basalt filament yarn that is heated at various temperatures. The change of color and appearance of heated basalt filament yarn was described. The mechanical properties of heated basalt filament yarn were tested. The results showed that although the mechanical properties of basalt filament yarn decreased with the temperature rising, still remained high tensile strength within a certain temperature range. Basalt filament yarn possess higher tenacity under 325°C. Basalt filament yarns still possess certain tenacity when they were placed at 500°C condition. So basalt filament yarn can be used as heat-resistant materials, such as filtration materials for high-temperature gas and liquid, fire-proof fabrics and so on.

Typical as-cast microstructure of the MgZnRE-Zr alloys consists primarily of Mg matrix, MgZn and MgRE phases. Although the electrical conductivity was a slightly reduced by Ce-rich RE addition, the conductivity was remained high. Microhardness at room temperature and tensile strength at 200°C were clearly enhanced by the addition. Fluidity as mold filling ability was observed to increase significantly with the RE addition partly due to reduced grain size and solidification range, however the corrosion resistance predicted from polarization curves was little decreased.

A mathematical model is constructed and computational experiments are performed to study the effect of anisotropy of the specific electrical conductivity of the soil on the distribution of electric and magnetic fields generated by cathodic electrochemical corrosion protection stations of the underground main pipeline (MP). The variation of electric and magnetic fields depending on the azimuth angle of rotation of the specific electrical conductivity tensor of the soil containing the pipeline is analysed.

In this paper, the influence of paraffinic oil on the physical mechanical and thermal properties of three EPDM rubbers types Buna EP T.6465, Keltan 5260Q and Keltan 6160 D have been investigated. The results showed that the tensile strength and the elongation at break of Keltan 5260Q and Keltan 6160 D with 10 phr paraffinic oil represent the improvement of 57.8% to 57.6% and 71% to 81% respectively, compared to EPDM rubbers without paraffinic oil. The mean peel force of EPDM keltan 6260D with 10 phr paraffinic oil loaded is about 36% and 32.5% higher than that of keltan 5260Q and EP.T 6465 respectively. Beside that at the suitable paraffinic oil contents, the thermal resistance of Keltan 5260 Q and 6160D seems to be a little higher than that of without processing oil and these EPDM rubbers are suitable for application to high thermal resistance rubber products.

Abstract The effect of heat treatment on the mechanical properties (hardness, plasticity, yield and tensile strength) and corrosion resistance of several cast magnesium alloys with additions of rare earth metals (Y, Nd and Gd), and their surface modification by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) were investigated. It was found that the heat treatment of the alloys results information of Mg12YZn, Mg3Zn3Y2 and Mg24Y5 based LPSO-phases and causes an increase in hardness and tensile strength by 5-7 and 20-25%, respectively, but at the same time, corrosion resistance of the alloysdrops by 10-20 times. PEO of the alloys after heat treatment reduced the corrosion currents by 1-3 orders of magnitude without changing the corrosion potential.

The effect of Ca addition on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behaviors of the extruded Mg–7Li–3Al alloys was investigated. The results showed that the extruded Mg–7Li–3Al–xCa alloys consisted of α-Mg (hcp) + β-Li (bcc) matrix phases and Al2Ca. With increasing Ca content, the amount and morphology of the Al2Ca phase changed significantly. The grains of the extruded Mg–7Li–3Al–xCa alloys were refined by dynamic recrystallization during the extrusion process. The tensile tests results indicated that the extruded Mg–7Li–3Al–0.4Ca alloy exhibited favorable comprehensive mechanical properties; its ultimate tensile strength was 286 MPa, the yield strength was 249 MPa, and the elongation was 18.7%. The corrosion results showed that this alloy with 0.4 wt.% Ca addition exhibited superior corrosion resistance, with a corrosion potential Ecorr of −1.48742 VVSE, attributed to the formation of protective Al2Ca phases.
