The scope of the work covers the development of the relationship between the chemical composition of surface-modified aluminium and its mechanical properties. This article presents the impact of laser alloying with ZrO powder on the microstructure and mechanical properties of pure aluminium. In order to study the phenomena occurring during the laser alloying process, microstructural studies were carried out using optical microscopy. Additionally, the properties of the obtained alloy were tested - abrasion resistance and hardness measured at low load force. As a result of the alloying process, three distinct zones were identified: the remelting zone (RZ), the diffusion zone (DZ) and the heat affected zone (HAZ). The surface modification resulting from laser alloying increases the hardness and abrasion resistance of the material.

The Impact

The scope of the work covers the development of the relationship between the chemical composition of surface-modified copper and the diffusion of alloy elements as well as the microstructure and mechanical properties. This article presents the impact of laser alloying with titanium and silver powders on the microstructure and mechanical properties of copper. In order to investigate the phenomena occurring during the laser alloying process, microstructural studies were performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy, and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopic (EDS) analysis of the chemical composition in micro-areas. In addition, to test the properties of the resulting alloy, abrasion resistance, hardness measurement at low loading force, and conductivity measurements were performed. As a result of alloying with Ag and Ti powders, three distinct zones were indeed recognized: re-melting zone (RZ), diffusion zone (DZ), and heat affected zone (HAZ). The surface modification that results from laser alloying increases the hardness as well as the abrasion resistance of the material. Overall, it was found that laser alloying with Ti powder increased the strength of the copper surface layer due to the formation of intermetallic phases (Cu3Ti2). It was also found that laser alloying with Ag powder changed the mechanical properties of the surface layer due to the solid solution strengthening.

AbstractThe effects of the cell size and distribution on the mechanical properties of polypropylene foam were simulated and analyzed by finite element modeling with ANSYS and supporting experiments. The results show that the reduced cell size and narrow size distribution have beneficial influences on both the tensile and impact strengths. Decreasing the cell size or narrowing the cell size distribution was more effective for increasing the impact strength than the tensile strength in the same case. The relationship between the mechanical properties and cell structure parameters has a good correlation with the theoretical model.

This paper investigates the impact of the top coating on the basic mechanical properties of a lacquered surface, including indentation hardness, scratch resistance and abrasion resistance. Three types of the top coating were used, including a 2K polyurethane coating, a 2K acrylate-isocyanate coating and a 2K alkyd-urethane coating. Samples of two wood species, spruce (Picea abies Karst.) and oak (Quercus robur L.), were used in this study, in order to determine whether the wood species, which is not in direct contact with the top coating, has an impact on the mechanical properties of a lacquered surface. The samples coated with a 2K acrylate-isocyanate coating showed the highest values of indentation hardness, in the samples of both wood species (1.34 N for spruce; 1.4 N for oak). The samples coated with a 2K alkyd-urethane coating showed the highest values of scratch resistance (20 N for both wood species) and abrasion resistance (mass loss of 480 mg after 700 cycles for both wood species). The results have shown that the wood species does not affect the value of indentation hardness, scratch resistance and abrasion resistance of a lacquered surface.

Natural Fillers

In the following study, ground plum stones and silanized ground plum stones were used as natural fillers for novel polyurethane (PUR) composite foams. The impact of 1, 2, and 5 wt.% of fillers on the cellular structure, foaming parameters, and mechanical, thermomechanical, and thermal properties of produced foams were assessed. The results showed that the silanization process leads to acquiring fillers with a smoother surface compared to unmodified filler. The results also showed that the morphology of the obtained materials is affected by the type and content of filler. Moreover, the modified PUR foams showed improved properties. For example, compared with the reference foam (PUR_REF), the foam with the addition of 1 wt.% of unmodified plum filler showed better mechanical properties, such as higher compressive strength (~8% improvement) and better flexural strength (~6% improvement). The addition of silanized plum filler improved the thermal stability and hydrophobic character of PUR foams. This work shows the relationship between the mechanical, thermal, and application properties of the obtained PUR composites depending on the modification of the filler used during synthesis.

Abstract Shoe sole material, design, tread pattern and surface modifications influence slip resistance while walking and running. Thermoplastic styrene-butadine-styrene rubber, commercially known as TPR, is one of the materials widely used as shoe soles. This type of sole is subjected to chemical treatment known as halogenation to increase adhesion characteristic with the upper. The coefficient of friction (COF) is the ratio between the horizontal force and the vertical force when tested with the help of slip resistance test equipment SATRA STM 603. It is also known that footwear outsole surface modification affects COF at the footwear floor interfaces. In this study, plain TPR shoe sole samples were surface modified by treating with 2.0 wt% trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCI) in methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). The effect of surface modifications was studied by water contact angle measurements, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), surface roughness and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface modified sole samples were also tested for other mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, hardness and abrasion resistance to find out the extent of changes in those essential functional properties. It was observed that surface modification of TPR sole increased COF and reduced strength, elasticity and abrasion resistance properties. However, there was no significant change in hardness.

AbstractIn the practice of shale gas development engineering, it is important to understand the physical and mechanical properties of shale. The bedding inclinations of shale are known to significantly influence its physical and mechanical properties. This study mainly examined the influence of bedding inclinations on drillability under different wellbore pressures. The bedding inclinations used in this study varied from 0° to 90°, with a gradient of 15°. The wellbore pressure values used varied from 0 to 25 MPa, with a gradient of 5 MPa. The results show that the drillability index of shale increases exponentially with increasing wellbore pressure at different bedding inclinations. The proposed exponential empirical model can describe the relationship between the drillability index and wellbore pressure. When the wellbore pressure is less than 15 MPa, bedding inclinations significantly influence the drillability index, and the drillability index of shale shows a “W”-type variation trend as the bedding inclinations increase in the range of 0° to 90°. The influence of bedding inclinations on drillability decreases gradually with increasing wellbore pressure. When the wellbore pressure increases to 25 MPa, the impact of bedding inclinations on drillability is virtually undetectable. The results of this study can provide reasonably insight into the effect of bedding inclinations on shale deformation under the drill bit, and useful prediction for the drillability index under in situ conditions.

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the impact of maintenance to some mechanical properties of coated fabrics. Polyester is often used for outerwear because of its high durability. Coating application enhances several physical – mechanical properties of fabric. The reverse side of the test fabrics were laminated with a thin layer of the membrane to ensure complete water resistance. Since the micro-pores are sufficiently small, they will not let water through, but they let vapour through from inside to outside. It makes these kind fabrics vapour-permeable and therefore very comfortable for wearing. Although we can damage the micro-pores in the fabric very quickly whether by false maintenance mode at home for washing or drying. Test fabrics of this study were chosen from kid`s outerwear collection. Kids are good for testing of ready to wear garments but this time, the emphasis was on laboratory tests of basic fabrics. The aim of this study was to test the outer fabric under the conditions of domestic care and thereafter to carry out tests on abrasion resistance and tearing of cared fabrics.

Solid wood is an important engineering material. Solid wood has superior properties, such as being renewable, easily processed, relatively inexpensive, and having higher mechanical properties relative to its density than any other engineering materials. Density, moisture content, tree species, knots, cracks, and some other variables influence the mechanical properties of wood. In this study, the effect of span length on the impact bending strength (IBS) of wood was investigated. Poplar and pine wood samples were used as test materials in the experiments. The IBS measurements were carried out following TS 2477 (1976) using a pendulum impact bending machine. Tests were conducted for various span lengths of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 cm. The results indicated that there is a relationship between IBS and span length. The highest impact bending strength was obtained with a span length of 10 cm for poplar and pine wood. The relationship between IBS and span length was parabolic. The coefficients of determination were 0.94 and 0.99 for poplar and pine wood, respectively.
