Aluminium samples are irradiated using a continuous-wave diode laser in a laboratory environment to study the effect on its surface, structural, and mechanical properties. The exposed samples are investigated by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffractometer for the surface and structural morphology, respectively. The scanning electron microscopic analysis unveils the realization of micrometer grain size, exfoliational sputtering, and crater production. The diffractometric x-ray analysis reveals the grain size, d-spacing, and dislocation line density of the targeted samples. The hardness of the samples as a function of exposure time is investigated using the micro Vickers hardness tester to perceive the mechanical properties. An increase in micro-hardness is observed with the increase in the exposure time.

In this study, we have performed the preparation of reswellable amorphous porous celluloses through regeneration from hydrogels. The cellulose hydrogels were first prepared from solutions with an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIMCl), in different concentrations. Lyophilization of the hydrogels efficiently produced the regenerated celluloses. The powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopic measurements of the products suggest an amorphous structure and porous morphology, respectively. Furthermore, the pore sizes of the regenerated celluloses, or in turn, the network sizes of cellulose chains in the hydrogels, were dependent on the concentrations of the initially prepared solutions with BMIMCl, which also affected the tensile mechanical properties. It was suggested that the dissolution states of the cellulose chains in the solutions were different, in accordance with the concentrations, which representatively dominated the pore and network sizes of the above materials. When the porous celluloses were immersed in water, reswelling was observed to regenerate the hydrogels.

A series of Al-3.2Mg alloys with addition of 0~1.6 wt.% rare earth (Ce and La) were prepared. The microstructure of as-cast Al-3.2Mg alloys was investigated by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and the tensile strength was measured. The results indicated that the addition of rare earth elements refined grain size and secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS), and the tensile strength was affected by means of the second-phase precipitation and the grain boundary. Accordingly, the ductility of Al-3.2Mg alloys reduced with the increasing of RE addition due to the more second-phase formation.

Microstructural and mechanical properties beta Titanium (β-Ti) weldments can be improved by grain refinement and formation of insoluble precipitates in the weld. This paper reports the effect of Boron (B) and Carbon (C) addition to Ti-15V-3Cr-3Sn-3Al (Ti-15-3) fillers on the microstructural and mechanical properties of Ti-15-3 gas tungsten arc weldments. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopic analysis revealed the presence of β-Ti phase in the weldments prepared without the filler modification, while additional TiB and TiC phases are observed in the weldments prepared with fillers modified with B and C, respectively. B and C addition to the fillers has resulted in the grain refinement of the weldments and the grain size reduction is seen to be higher with the increasing B and C addition. The formation of TiB, TiC and growth restriction effect due to the presence of B and C in the filler resulted in the decreased grain size of the β-Ti weldments. Mechanical properties such as hardness and tensile strength improved as the amount of B and C addition increased. The improvement of mechanical properties is contributed by the grain refinement and the formation of TiB and TiC precipitates in weldments.

Straw fiber (SF)/polylactic acid (PLA) composites were prepared from SF and PLA. The effects of the composite SF/PLA mass ratio investigated in terms of mechanical properties, water resistance, crystal structure, and thermal properties were investigated. These composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopic (SEM), X-ray diffractometric (XRD), differential scanning calorimetric (DSC), and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). The results showed that, when the SF/PLA mass ratio was 3/7, the mechanical properties and water resistance of these composites were the best. When the mass ratio exceeded 3/7, the interface compatibility in the composites decreased. As the SF/PLA mass ratio increased, the crystallinity and the heat resistance of the composites were decreased.

Better Than

The aromatic polyamides form a class of fibers having mechanical properties which are much better than those of aliphatic polyamides. Currently, the accepted morphology of these fibers as proposed by M.G. Dobb, et al. is a radial arrangement of pleated sheets, with the plane of the pleats parallel to the axis of the fiber. We have recently obtained evidence which supports a different morphology of this type of fiber, using ultramicrotomy and ion-thinning techniques to prepare specimens for transmission and scanning electron microscopy.

The effect of the neodymium content on mechanical properties of the electro-brush plated nanoAl2O3/Ni composite coating was investigated in this paper. The microstructure and phase structure were studied with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The hardness and abrasion properties of several coatings with different neodymium content were studied by nanoindentation test and friction / wear experiment. Results show that the coatings are much finer and more compact when the neodymium was added, and the hardness and abrasion property of the coatings with neodymium were improved obviously. Besides, the small cracks conduced by the upgrowth stress in the coatings were ameliorated when the rare earth neodymium was added. The improvement mechanism was further discussed.

Al2O3-TiC-ZrO2ceramic composites (ATZ) were fabricated by hot-pressed sintering. The phases and microstructure of the composites were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The relative density and mechanical properties (flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vicker’s hardness) of the composites were tested. The results show that the microstructure of the composites was the gray core-white rim. With the increase of sintering temperature, the relative density and mechanical properties of the composites increased first and then decreased. The composite sintered at 1705°C has the highest synthetical properties, and its relative density, flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vickers hardness are 98.3%,970MPa,6.0 MPa•m1/2and 20.5GPa, respectively.

The super-tough bio-based nylon was prepared by melt extrusion. In order to improve the compatibility between bio-based nylon and elastomer, the elastomer POE was grafted with maleic anhydride. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to study the compatibility and micro-distribution between super-tough bio-based nylon and toughened elastomers. The results of mechanical strength experiments show that the 20% content of POE-g-MAH has the best toughening effect. After toughening, the toughness of the super-tough nylon was significantly improved. The notched impact strength was 88 kJ/m2 increasing by 1700%, which was in line with the industrial super-tough nylon. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the crystallization behavior of bio-based PA56, and the effect of bio-based PA56 with high crystallinity on mechanical properties was analyzed from the microstructure.
