Aiming at the special service environment of aluminum alloy drill pipe, in this paper, the influence of extrusion texture on the mechanical and electrochemical properties of aluminum alloy drill pipe was studied. And the macroscopic textures of longitudinal profile and cross section of aluminum alloy drill pipe were tested, and the tensile, compressive and impact mechanical properties were tested, followed by immersion and electrochemical testing. The results show that the texture which 2A12T4 aluminum alloy drill pipe contains is <001> and <111> along the extrusion direction and <223>, <101> in the transverse direction. The test results of mechanical properties show that the extruded texture will affects the mechanical properties of material. When the cross section and longitudinal profile samples of 2A12T4 were soaked in 3.5% NaCl solution at 25°C, 60°C and 90°C, their corrosion resistance are different. The pits of transverse specimens exhibit a dispersed distribution and that of longitudinal specimens are distributed along the extrusion direction.

Specialists of metallurgy and mechanical engineering are intensively working at materials with controlled properties. In fact, at this stage we are already talking about the design of new materials for the specific tasks of the industry. One of the ways to achieve the regulated mechanical properties of metal products is to use the influence of plastic deformation with its different parameters in individual sections of the deformable material. In this study, we studied the effect of cold rolling on the properties of a strip of aluminum alloy EN AW-1050 with artificially created differences in the deformation parameters in different parts of the cross section of the profile. For this, a pre-shaped sample was prepared by conducting joint cold rolling of a strip of the specified material 420 mm long, 180 mm wide and 2.9 mm thick with a steel profiling tape 80 mm wide and 2 mm thick superimposed on it (length of an aluminum strip and steel profiling tape are the same). As a result of joint deformation, the steel strip rolled into the base metal and changed the geometry of the cross section and the properties of the obtained strip. Next, the obtained strip was subjected to heat treatment and rolled in a duo mill. After rolling, thin samples were made from fabricated flat strips to assess mechanical properties, in particular tensile tests were performed according to ISO 6892-1: 2009 and Brinell hardness tests were performed according to ISO 6506-1: 2014. Experimental studies of cold rolling of strips with profiled cross section of aluminum alloy EN AW-1050 were carried out. The possibility of forming heterogeneous properties in a flat aluminum strip by cold plastic deformation is shown and the maximum average values of the increase in the main indicators of mechanical properties on individual elements of the strip are determined. The maximum difference between the mechanical properties of the thick and thin elements of the profiled strip is observed in the hardness index and reaches 37.5%. The maximum obtained average value of the increase in yield strength and tensile strength is 26% and 18%, which is achieved with true deformation of the thick element of the profiled strip 0.165 and 0.234.

The above paper presents the assumptions and results of the research whose aim was to determine the influence of 2024, 6061 and 7075 aluminum alloys on the final properties of GLARE-type composites. GLARE 3 2/1 type composites, made of two layers of the epoxy prepreg, reinforced with unidirectional glass fibers, arranged in the direction of 0°/90°, and two sheets of aluminum with a thickness of 0.4 mm, were investigated. Composites of various stacking configurations of alloy layers, made of one type of aluminum alloy (so-called ‘homogeneous composites’), and two different alloys (mixed composites), were analyzed. The properties of the composites were evaluated with the use of the mixing rule and compared with the test results. The influence of the used aluminum alloys on mechanical properties of GLARE-type composites has been determined. GLARE-type composite made of 7075 alloy sheets had the most favorable mechanical properties in comparison to properties of composites with 2024 and 6061 sheets. It has been shown how the properties of GLARE-type composites depend on the type of the aluminum alloy. It has been also proved that the properties of GLARE-type composites can be evaluated with the use of the mixing rule.

In this study, 8009 heat resistant aluminum alloy was synthesized by the spray atomization and deposition technique. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy were studied using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and tensile tests. The secondary phases in the microstructure of the spray-deposited alloy were examined. The tensile test results indicate that the spray-deposited 8009 alloy both at room and elevated temperature displays superior tensile strength due to the presence of the thermally stable Al12(Fe,V)3Si particles.

Joining process and mechanical properties of clinched joints in Al5052 aluminum alloy sheets had been studied in this study. The clinched joints were classified to round one and rectangle one. Results of cross-section showed that the minimum thickness of the rectangle joints were lower than the round joints, and the aspect ratio of undercut section corresponding was larger. The strength of rectangular joint was 1.7 times of round one. Failure mode of rounded joint was the upper sheet fractures at the neck having a minimum thickness, but failure mode was the mix of neck-fracture and pulled-out for rectangular joint.

In this work, the effects of rotational and traverse speeds on the 1.5 mm butt joint performance of friction stir welded 2024-T4 aluminum alloy sheets have been investigated. Five rotational speeds ranging from 560 to 1800 rpm and five traverse speeds ranging from 11 to 45 mm/min have been employed. The characterization of microstructure and the mechanical properties (tensile, microhardness, and bending) of the welded sheets have been studied. The results reveal that by varying the welding parameters, almost sound joints and high performance welded joints can be successfully produced at the rotational speeds of 900 rpm and 700 rpm and the traverse speed of 35 mm/min. The maximum welding performance of joints is found to be 86.3% with 900 rpm rotational speed and 35 mm/min traverse speed. The microhardness values along the cross-section of the joints show a dramatic drop in the stir zone where the lowest value reached is about 63% of the base metal due to the softening of the welded zone caused by the heat input during joining.

In this study, the possibility of producing of flat aluminum strips with tailored mechanical properties across their width by means of rolling was examined. The aim of the work was an experimental analysis of the effect of cold rolling of the strips with a pre-profiled cross-section in flat rolls. Because of different work hardening of the various elements of the pre-profiled strips a characteristic profile of mechanical properties over the strips cross-section was created. The performed tensile tests and hardness measurements proved the possibility of setting of tailored properties in flat strips by means of rolling. The difference between the mechanical characteristics of various strip’s elements for the selected aluminum alloy can reach 40%.

Aluminum alloy 5083 is widely used in the fabrication of marine vessels. This paper presents the difference in mechanical properties and microstructure between natural-cooling and water-cooling after flame straightening. Under the synchronous water-cooling process, the peak temperature of the heating center was unchanged, but the peak temperatures of the other areas decreased obviously and the cooling rate increased substantially. The microhardness of the rectified area was lower than that of the base metal. The average microhardness decreased about 4.4 HV when using synchronous water-cooling, whereas the average microhardness of the specimen without using water-cooling was 11.6 HV lower than the base metal. Tensile test results show that the yield strength and the ultimate strength of synchronous water-cooling specimen increased 9.16 MPa and 1.64 MPa on average, but the elongation rate decreased compared with the specimen only under flame straightening. The results of metallographic tests show that the grain growth tendency and precipitation phase size and quantity reduced after using synchronous water-cooling.

The paper presents the laboratory test results of the mechanical properties of porous gypsum. Material for the study was obtained from gypsum Pro-Monta plate of 100mm thick. Based on the compression test of cubic samples, following mechanical properties were determined: compressive strength, Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus. Tensile strength was determined based on three-point bending test of rectangular cross section sample. Also a friction coefficients were investigated as follows: between the smoothed surface of the sample and a fiberboard pad, between a rough surfaces (after cutting) and fiberboard pad. A porosity of the material samples was determined using standard method. The material’s mechanical property values can be useful for modeling destruction and deformation of a porous gypsum undertaken by analytical and numerical methods.
