Impact of Corrosive Liquid on Trivalent Chromium over Aluminium Alloys

The corrosive effects of artificial saliva on cast and rapid manufacture- produced cobalt chromium alloys

Performance Properties of Trivalent Chromium

A trivalent chromium electroplating process has been io use commercially in North America since its introduction in 1975. Based upon years of laboratory and in-plant experience and testing, many process performance characteristics and physical properties of deposits have been determined. This paper compares the performance of trivalent chromium with hexavalent chromium processes. Factors such a...

Creep of Aluminium and Aluminium Alloys

This chapter constitutes an introduction to creep and to the creep response of Aluminium and its alloys. Its major goals are: to provide basic information on creep and its mechanisms to give a description of the more extensively used mathematical relations among creep variables (time, stress and temperature) to illustrate the creep response of pure Aluminium and of Al-Mg alloys to provide a syn...

Metallography of Aluminium alloys

This lecture aims at providing a survey of the metallographic techniques available for the examination of aluminium and its alloys. The information must be sufficient to be sure that the students and the users are able to choose the most suitable technique to solve their problems in the examination of samples. The lecture should contain a direct understanding of the main problems in the metallo...

Anodic oxide formation on aluminium-terbium alloys

Aluminium terbium alloys were prepared by simultaneous thermal evaporation resulting in a thin film library covering a 5 to 25 at.% Tb compositional spread. Synchrotron x-ray diffraction (XRD) proves all of the alloys to be amorphous. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements reveal the structural changes upon increase in Tb content with the formation of small, Tb-rich segregations right ...
