Nodular cast iron is a type of cast iron with spheroid graphite surrounded by ferrite matrix and / or pearlite. The size of the graphite and its matrix affects the mechanical properties of the cast iron. This research was conducted to investigate the effect of Magnesium composition on strength, stiffness and toughness of nodular cast iron. Magnesium addition is performed by adding FeSiMg alloys. After that, the composition of magnesium was investigated by using spectrometry. Then tensile test was conducted to obtain the yield strength, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. Further, impact test was performed to determine the impact energy needed to break the material. The result showed an increase of yield strength, tensile strength and stiffness and a decrease of toughness.

The mechanical properties, among all the properties of plastic materials, are often the most important properties because virtually all service conditions and the majority of end-use applications involve some degree of mechanical loading [1]. In the present work three different commercial polyethylene materials are tensile tested at four or five different tensile rates and two or three temperatures. Tensile test results against tensile rate include stress at 0.5 % elongation, tensile strength, yield strength, modulus of elasticity, elongation at yield and % elongation are determined. It is concluded that the structure, chain lengths and branching rates of polymer matrix significantly effected tensile test curve characteristic.

Sintered and forged powder metallurgy (P/M) steels were subjected to tensile, hardness and impact test, in order to understand the influence of the microstructure on the mechanical properties and fracture behavior. Ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, reduction in area, hardness and impact toughness all increase with a decrease in porosity. With the increase of density, the mode of fracture change from pure ductile in sintered necks of the material to complete brittle from fully dense pearlitic grains.

The Mg96Y3Zn1 alloy processed by equal channel angular pressing has been investigated. It was found that the Mg96Y3Zn1 alloy processed by ECAP obtained ultrafine grains and exhibits excellent mechanical properties. After ECAP, the average grain size of Mg96Y3Zn1 alloy refined to about 400 nm. The highest strengths with yield strength of 381.45MPa and ultimate tensile strength of 438.33MPa were obtained after 2 passes at 623K. It was found that cracks were preferentially initiated and propagated in the interior of X-phase during the tensile test. As a result, the elongation of alloy is decreased with pass number increasing.

Developing new alloys and techniques is important for the applications of magnesium alloy products. The greatest challenge in the area is to exploit new wrought magnesium alloys[1]. In this paper, the effects of Zn addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the MZK60 wrought alloy which is modified from ZK60 have been investigated. The microstructures of these alloys at various states were evaluated by optical microscopy. The mechanical properties at room temperature of these alloys were studied systematically by tensile test. Experimental results indicated that increasing Zn content to 7~10%wt is able to get not only higher tensile strength and yield strength, but also higher elongation.

Based on TMCP and UFC technology, the microstructures and mechanical properties of 0.05% C bainitic steel were studied in this paper. The bainite morphology and precipitation within bainite lath were observed by SEM and TEM, and the mechanical properties of bainitic steel were measured by tensile and impact test. The results showed that the yield and tensile strengths of steel were 713 MPa and 891 MPa respectively, and the elongation was 15.8% with impact energy of 95J at the temperature of-20°C as the final cooling temperature in hot rolling of 550°C. For comparison, the steel obtained the yield strength of 725 MPa, tensile strength of 930 MPa and elongation of 18% as the final cooling temperature of 450°C. However, the impact energy of steel was 195J at the temperature of-20°C. While at the same final cooling temperature of 450°C, the fast cooling-holding temperature-fast cooling was applied to experimental steel with a faster cooling rate of 50°C/s, hence the steel acquired the yield strength of 845 MPa, tensile strength of 1037 MPa, and elongation of 15.5% with impact energy of 168J at the temperature of-20°C. The strength and toughness of 0.05%C bainitic steel is related to the bainite morphology and precipitation distribution. Hence, the strength and toughness can be improved by control the different cooling processes for adjusting the content of lath bainite, distribution of granular bainite and precipitation.

In order to alleviate the shortage of global nickel resources, it is imperative to develop low nickel stainless steel. This paper presents a novel approach based on increasing nitrogen and reducing nickel for smelting economical stainless steel. Taking 06Cr19Ni10 stainless steel as the object, the test steels with different nitrogen and nickel content were smelted using vacuum induction furnace (ZG-0.01) under the laboratory conditions, and the effects of alloy content on microstructures, mechanical properties and corrosion properties of the economical stainless steel were investigated. The results show that the microstructure of the tested steel which nitrogen content 0~0.28% and nickel content 5.98~9.63% is still the single austenitic, and the grain size decreases as the nitrogen content increases. Nitrogen deteriorates the impact toughness of the tested steel, and the room temperature impact absorption energy is reduced from 267 J at the nitrogen content of 0 to 228 J at nitrogen content of 0.28%. Rockwell hardness, tensile strength and yield strength increase with the increase of nitrogen content. When the nitrogen content is 0.28%, the optimum mechanical properties of 06Cr19Ni10 steel are obtained. The Rockwell hardness is 95.4 HRB, the tensile strength is 814 MPa, the yield strength is 437 MPa, and the elongation after fracture is 52.5%. The degree of intergranular corrosion of the tested steel is reduced significantly with the increase of nitrogen content, from 0.023 μm to 0.008 μm. The experimental data prove that the composition design concept of increasing nitrogen and reducing nickel is feasible for smelting economical stainless steel.

This study aims to determine the effect of liquid smoke treatment on the tensile strength of the single fiber and Coconut fiber (CF) Reinforced Composite. The research method is Immersion the fiber with liquid smoke and heating. First treatment, CF was immersed in liquid smoke for 1, 2, and 3 hours, then dried for 1 hour at a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. Next, the single fiber tensile test was carried out with the Universal Impact Test Machine and composite impact strength. The results showed that the tensile strength of single fiber TP, P1J, P2J, and P3J of 51.357 MPa, 79.655 MPa, 48.187 MPa, and 58.117 MPa. While the CF composite impact test TP, P1J, P2J, and P3J of 0.514 KJ/m2, 1.385 KJ/m2, 1,085 KJ/m2, and 2,128 KJ/m2. The liquid smoke immersion can increase the tensile strength of single fibers, where 1-hour immersion has the greatest value. In contrast, the impact strength of the CF composites increased at 3 hours, the largest immersion value. The results showed that the fiber soaked in liquid smoke could be an alternative to improve the mechanical properties of CF.

In this work, the influence of heat treatment process and quenching in different quenchant media of medium carbon steel, gray and nodular cast iron with ferrite matrix on the hardness, ductility and corrosion rate of has been investigated. During this type of operations, the specimens were Austenizing at 900°C for one hour. Therefore, the specimens were quenched in different kind of oil as quenched medium (oil 20-50, oil 40, oil 90, and water as reference). The hardness , impact energy to measure the ductility, corrosion rate and microstructures were studied. From result of steel 0.47% carbon was clear increasing in hardness and decreasing in ductility with close varying values in oil quenchant kind comparing with as received specimen and water quenched one, corrosion rate decreased with heat treatment and quenching process due to formation of single face instead of double phase before heat treatment process which created galvanic cell. For gray and nodular cast iron it is noticeable that no changing in microstructure within heating for one hour at 900°C because the matrix in both cast iron types is ferrite, therefore no changing in mechanical properties under heat treatment process with time of one hour which is not sufficient to decomposition of graphite, but with comparison the hardness of gray cast iron is more than nodular one due to distribution of graphite flacks which increase the hardness and decrease the ductility as well as increasesing the corrosion rate compared with nodular cast iron. Microstructure of both types of cast iron have been studied after subjected the specimens to heat treatment at 1000°C and for 10 hours, the microstructures shown clear diffusion of some carbon in ferrite matrix around the graphite phase and under quenched some of martensite formed.

A troostite nodular cast iron was obtained by a heat treatment process of controlled cooling, reheating-up and isothermal treatment. Experimental results show that the troostite substrate demonstrates an interlamellar spacing below 100 nm. The supercooling condition in this specific heat treatment process is key to the formation of troostite. The mechanical properties are excellent, with tensile strength of 905.5~1029.5 MPa, hardness of 30.8~32.8 HRC, and elongation of 3.1~4.0 %.
