Abstract The slow strain rate technique (SSRT) was used to assess the environmental cracking behavior of TiCode-12, a titanium-base alloy, in a simulated repository brine. The hydrogen effects and electrode potential were examined to understand the alloy's hydrogen embrittlement (HE) and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior. At open circuit, no environment effect was noted, as the results in air and brine were essentially identical. Hydrogen precharging of the samples resulted in a microstructure change, and at very high hydrogen levels, a degradation in mechanical properties. Anodic polarization of the Grade 12 Ti had no effect on mechanical properties, again indicating that the alloy is not susceptible to SCC. Severe cathodic polarization results in a change in both fracture mode and macroscopic stress-strain behavior. However, the conditions under which these changes were observed are considered to be much more severe than those encountered in the proposed repository sites.

Titanium and its alloys are among the most promising biomaterials for medical applications. In this work, the isothermal oxidation of Ti-6Al-7Nb biomedical alloy towards improving its mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and bioactivity has been developed. The oxide layers were formed at 600, 700, and 800 °C for 72 h. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), 3D profilometry, and microindentation test, were used to characterize microstructure, surface geometrical structure, and the hardness of the diphase (α + β) Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy after oxidation, respectively. In vitro corrosion resistance tests were carried out in a saline solution at 37 °C using the open-circuit potential method and potentiodynamic measurements. Electronic properties in the air were studied using the Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP) technique. The bioactivity test was conducted by soaking the alkali- and heat-treated samples in simulated body fluid for 7 days. The presence of apatite was confirmed using SEM/EDS and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) studies. The thickness of oxide layers formed increased with the temperature growth from 0.25 to 5.48 µm. It was found that with increasing isothermal oxidation temperature, the surface roughness, hardness, corrosion resistance, and contact potential difference increased. The Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy after oxidation revealed the HAp-forming ability in a biological environment.

Stress corrosion cracking behavior of 4340 steel in oxygen-containing or chloride containing aqueous solution was researched, the tensile experiment results indicated 100°C deaerated distilled water, the rupture of 4340 steel mainly belongs to ductile fracture, the addition of oxygen or chloride would increase the SCC tendency of 4340 steel and transformed the rupture mechanism from ductile fracture to brittle rupture, the existence of oxygen or chloride would decreaseKISCCof 4340 steel in 100°C aqueous solution slightly, the simultaneous action of oxygen and chloride existed, and the simultaneous action would further increase the SCC tendency of 4340 steel in aqueous solution.

Abstract The birefringence of natural rubber networks at large deformations has been investigated experimentally and compared with the simultaneously determined stress—strain behavior. Our data is analyzed using a statistical theory of flexibly jointed chains, derived herein, which is believed to be more significant for the particular range of deformation used than the theories of Treloar and of Kuhn and Grün. In addition, the experimental data of Saunders is commented on in light of our theoretical development. We find that for network extensions exceeding those of the Gaussian region there is little correlation between the observed and theoretical behavior of the stress and birefringence (based upon the theory of flexibly jointed chains) and this lack of agreement is attributed to the fact that the statistical parameters needed for the description of the optical chain properties differ in magnitude from those required for the mechanical properties. Furthermore, by considering the points of incipient crystallization the strain behavior of the stress-optical coefficient is highly indicative of nonGaussian behavior rather than crystallization, and therefore yields strong support for the position that nonGaussian behavior does exist in rubber networks.

Nanoporous gold was fabricated by dealloying and their pore characteristics were further modified by thermal or acid treatment. The fabricated nanoporous gold had a ligament size of approximately 5 nm. Thermal treatment on the nanoporous gold increased the ligament size to approximately 500 nm. During the thermal treatment, ligaments are bonded across the cracks which had been generated during the dealloying. Acid treatment also increased the ligament size to approximately 500 nm; however, the acid treatment had a different effect on the pore characteristics from the thermal treatment. As a result, nanoporous gold prism microassembly with anisotropic structure was spontaneously fabricated by the acid treatment. The mechanical properties of nanoporous gold were also examined. It is estimated that the yield strength of nanosized ligaments in nanoporous gold is very high and close to the ideal strength of gold.
