Effect of Overageing Conditions on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties in Al–Si–Mg Alloy

Saha S, Tareq SH and Galib RH

Al-Si alloys have occupied significant position in the field of automobile applications. They are mainly used in engine parts where the alloys have to withstand high temperature for considerable length of time i.e., ageing effect. This research work has been carried out to investigate the overageing effect on a series of heat treatable Al-Si- Mg alloy (A355 alloy). The alloys were heat treated at 175°C for different length of time and microstructure and mechanical properties were studied. Considerable changes in microstructure were observed by SEM. Microstructure of moderately aged (1, 2 and 5 hours) alloys showed small precipitated particles, where over aged (1000, 10000 and 100000 hours) alloys showed coarse precipitated particles in grain boundary. Composition of the matrix and precipitated phase were ensured by EDS. These changes in microstructure significantly changed mechanical properties of the alloys over different ageing time. Initially the yield strength and hardness of the alloys increased up to a certain length of heat treatment and then it started to decrease with increasing heating time. Total elongation before fracture reduced initially and then increased with increasing heating time. Initially the dispersed second phase particles increased the mechanical strength. But eventually these properties decreased due to the coarsening of the particles. The study leads to the conclusion that the optimum aged was achieved between 3 to 5 hours of ageing time.

Laser Cladding and Thermal Spray Coatings on Steel Pipe Serving the Oil and Gas Industry

Almeida NC, Candido LC, Faria GL, Fernandes de Lima MS and Trindade VB

Different coating systems were characterized using a commercial API 5CT steel grade L80 type 1, which is commonly used in the oil and gas industry. Two Ni-based alloys and one Co-based alloy were deposited by laser cladding. Two coatings were deposited (Ni-based alloy and a composite W-C/Co-base) by means of thermal spray process. It has been shown the presence of a hard heat affected zone (HAZ) in the substrate for the as-laser deposited coating. The main explanation for this HAZ is devoted to the heat gradient causing a gradient on the prior austenite grain size and consequently different martensite hardness along the HAZ. For the thermal sprayed coatings, no HAZ was formed due to low heat input process. All the studied coating systems seem to be very interesting for different technically demanding applications, such as, stress sulfide corrosion and wear resistance.

Microstructure Evolution and Brazing Mechanism of Ti2SnC-Ti6Al4V Joint by Using Cu Pure Foil

Yu W

The MAX phase Ti2SnC was successfully welded to Ti6Al4V (TC4) through Cu interlayer in Ar atmosphere at low temperature 750ºC, during 1h under an applied mechanical pressure 10 MPa. The results indicated that the outward diffusion of Sn from Ti2SnC played a critical role in the chemical composition of joints. After 60 mins, the reaction layers consist of five zones: interleaved β-Cu(Sn) and α-Cu(Sn) zone zone (V), enriched Sn and CuTi0.5Sn0.5 intermetallic phase (IV), poor Sn, Ti and rich Cu zone (III), Ti3Cu4 intermetallic (II) and β-Ti (Cu) phase (I). Shear test results showed that the average shear strength reached 85.7 ±10 MPa. Corresponding fractographs indicated that the crack mainly propagated along Ti2SnC substrate adjacent to the bonding zone, accompanied with an intergranular fracture mode.

Influence of Annealing Temperatures on the Structural, Morphological,Crystalline and Optical properties of BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 Nanoparticles

Mgbemeje EA, Akhtar SM, Bong YO and Kue CD

In this study, highly crystalline BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by bi-modal distribution solution process followed by annealing at different temperatures. The impact of annealing temperatures on the nanoparticles was investigated by their various chemical, structural and surface properties. The particle sizes of both BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 increased from 30-80 nm with increase in annealing temperature due to the agglomeration of the nanoparticles. It was found that the optical band gap of BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 was considerably decreased with the increase of annealing temperatures from 500 - 900°C. With the observed results, we can say that annealing BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 nanoparticles significantly enhance their optical, structural, morphological and crystalline properties.

Large-Scale Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Vapor of Cesium Atoms at Normal Temperature (T=353K)

You PL

Large-scale BEC of cesium at T=353 K was first observed. Until now, scientists have applied magnetic fields and lasers, but never applied electric fields, and atoms are oriented at random, so observation of BEC is very difficult. Our innovation lies in the application of electric fields. We theoretically proved that alkali atom (include Cs) may be polar atom doesn't conflict with quantum mechanics. Variation of the capacitance with temperature offers a means of separating the polar and non-polar atom. Cs vapor was filled in cylindrical capacitor. Our experiment shows that Cs is polar atom because its capacitance is related to temperature. In the past, to realize the phase transition, ultralow temperature is necessary. But now we don’t require ultralow temperature, because we use the critical voltage Vc to achieve the phase transition. From the entropy S=Nk ln 2πe /a=0, a=dV/kTH =2πe, Vc ≈ 63volts. When V < Vc, S > 0; when V >Vc, S < 0, phase transition occurred. When V=350 volts, the capacitance decreased from C=1.97C0 to C ≈ C0 (C0 is the vacuum capacitance), this result implies that almost all Cs atoms (more than 98.9%), like as dipoles, are aligned with the field. We create BEC with 1.928×1017 atoms, these atoms have the same momentum. Cs material with purity 99.95% was supplied by Strem Chemicals Co., USA. Both BEC and superconductivity are condensed in the momentum space, therefore these two kinds of condensation can’t be observed with the naked eye. When superconductivity occurs, the resistance R≈0, a simple and direct method to observe superconductivity is to measure the resistance by voltammetry. Similarly, when BEC occurs, the electric susceptibility χe=C/C0 –1 ≈ 0, a simple and direct method to observe BEC is to measure the capacitance by cylindrical capacitor. BEC is also a quasi-superconducting state.

To Develop a Biocompatible and Biodegradable Polymer-Metal Composite with Good; Mechanical and Drug Release Properties

Najabat Ali M, Ansari U, Sami J, Qayyum F and Mir M

For achieving additional benefits and improving the material characteristics two or more materials are often combined together in the form of composites. Composites are important because of their light weight, high strength and flexibility of design. Composite materials provide various advantages based on their particulate or fibrous nature and on the basis of individual qualities of the constituting elements of the composites. Besides the multiplied benefits achieved with the composite materials, they being composed of two different materials exhibit greater challenges and biocompatibility threats which need to be addressed while developing a composite material. A structural composite of bioabsorbable nature is developed using a polymeric material and metal particles. The composite material so developed would provide altered strength and flexibility, better than the individual constituting materials for use in various biomedical devices and would eventually degrade on subject to exposure to the physiological environment. The two different varieties of the composite have been developed using metal particles and metal salt and they have been tested for their tensile, degradation and drug release properties, which have been found satisfactory for use of the composite in various biomedical devices and drug release applications.

Polarization Dependent Reflectivity and Transmission for Cd1-Xznxte/GaAs(001) Epifilms in the Far-Infrared and Near-Infrared to Ultraviolet Region

Talwar DN and Becla P

The results of a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study is reported to empathize the optical properties of binary GaAs, ZnTe, CdTe and ternary Cd1-xZnxTe (CZT) alloys in the two energy regions: (i) far-infrared (FIR), and (ii) near-infrared (NIR) to ultraviolet (UV). A high resolution Fourier transform infrared spectrometer is used to assess the FIR response of GaAs, ZnTe, CdTe and CZT alloys in the entire composition 1.0 ≥ x ≥ 0 range. Accurate model dielectric functions are established appositely to extort the optical constants of the binary materials. The simulated dielectric functions ε(ω) and refractive indices n~(ω) are meticulously appraised in the FIR → NIR → UV energy range by comparing them against the existing spectroscopic FTIR and ellipsometry data. These outcomes are expended eloquently for evaluating the polarization dependent reflectivity R(λ) and transmission T(λ) spectra of ultrathin CZT/GaAs (001) epifilms. A reasonably accurate assessment of the CZT film thickness by reflectivity study has offered a credible testimony for characterizing any semiconducting epitaxially grown nanostructured materials of technological importance.

Synthesis and Analysis of Natural Fibers Reinforcement of Synthetic Resins

Guduru KK, Pandu R, Banothu S and Vinaya K

Natural fiber Composites typically have a fiber or particle phase that is stiffer and stronger than the continuous matrix phase and serve as the principal load carrying members. The matrix acts as a load transfer medium between fibers, and in less ideal cases where the loads are complex, the matrix may even have to bear loads transverse to the fiber axis. In this research the comparative synthesis and analysis of Kenaf fiber (FRPMC1) and Polmera fibers (FRPMC2) are treated with NaOH solution and the fibers are properly reinforced with polypropylene resin and epoxy resin respectively in a matrix form to prepare hybrid composite laminates of 6 mm fiber length thereafter to with suitable specimens with ASTM D-638 and D-790 standards. The analysis was carried out by using FEA software for various loads and result factors. The surface is analyzed by SEM test with various resolutions. The matrix also serves to protect the fibers from environmental damage before, during and after composite processing. The surface is analyzed using when designed properly, the new combined material exhibits better strength than each individual material. Composites are used not only for their structural properties, but also for electrical, thermal, and eco-friendly environmental applications.

Mechanical Performance of Reinforced Concrete with Different Proportions and lengths of Basalt Fibres

Elshafie S, Boulbibane M and Whittleston G

This paper discusses the effect of the fraction (0.2-0.3% by volume) and length (22 mm and 24 mm) of basalt fibre on the mechanical properties of concrete. The paper aims to evaluate the effect of different combinations of basalt fibres on the mechanical properties of concrete, as well as identify the best basalt fibre length and content that have the optimum influence on concrete. This paper is considered to be distinct from other research work as it fills the literature gap by presenting new unknown facts and also adds new knowledge. For example, it identifies the best basalt fibre length and content combination that demonstrates an improvement in the mechanical properties of concrete. It suggests the use of a blend of 12 mm short and 24 mm long fibres as they have a significant effect on the mechanical properties of concrete, it validates the results obtained from the laboratory by using a statistical analysis of variance ANOVA software, as well as determine the correlation between the mechanical properties of concrete. The results showed that the optimum basalt fibre length and content that enhanced the mechanical properties of concrete is 24 mm long fibre with content of 0.2% by the total volume of concrete. It also show that changing basalt fibre length and content enhance not only both tensile and flexural strengths of concrete, but also reduce its compressive strength, workability and air content of concrete, as well as maintain the unit weight and modulus of elasticity values. In this context, the incorporation of basalt fibres within the mixture becomes an important parameter for strengthening concrete in the construction industry.
