The amorphous ternary metallic alloy Zr60Al15Ni25 was oxidized in dry oxygen in the temperature range 310 ±C to 410 ±C. Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies suggest that during this treatment an amorphous layer of zirconium-aluminum-oxide is formed at the surface. Nickel was depleted in the oxide and enriched in the amorphous alloy n...

It is well known that semi-solid forming could only obtain coarse-grained microstructure in a few alloy systems with a low melting point, such as aluminum and magnesium alloys. This work presents that semi-solid forming could also produce novel bimodal microstructure composed of nanostructured matrix and micro-sized (CoFe)Ti2 twins in a titanium alloy, Ti62Nb12.2Fe13.6Co6.4Al5.8. The semi-solid...

en-ac 48000 aluminum alloy is an important alloy in industries. machining of this alloy is of vital importance due to built-up edge and tool wear. three type of cutting tools including coated carbide (cd1810), uncoated carbide (h10), and polycrystalline diamond (cd10) have been used in this research in this paper, the effect of machining parameters including lubricant emulsion percentage and to...

In this work, the evolution of microstructure and the thermo-mechanical behavior of co pper and dilute copper alloy thin films was investigated. 0.3 to 2.0 μm thick film s were deposited by magnetron sputtering under ultra high vacuum conditions onto diffusion-barrier coated silicon substrates and subjected to wafer curvature measurements. Pure copper films annealed in ultra high vacuum exhibit...

although the solubility of oxygen in molten aluminum alloys is said to be negligible, the fresh surface of the melt oxidizes quickly in the air and an oxide film is formed on the melt surface. oxide-metal-oxide sandwich technique is a method for the study of short-time surface oxide films. in this research, air was blown at 0.5 atmosphere into the melts of al-1mg and al-6mg alloys by means of a...

Cobalt-nickel (Co-Ni) binary alloy nanowires of different compositions were co-deposited in the nanopores of highly ordered anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates from a single sulfate bath using alternating current (AC) electrodeposition. AC electrodeposition was accomplished without modifying or removing the barrier layer. Field emission scanning electron microscope was used to study the morph...

Friction stir processing was applied for fabricating an aluminum alloy based hybrid nano composite reinforced with nano sized Al2O3 and micro sized graphite particles. A mixture of Al2O3 and graphite particles was packed into a groove with 1 mm width and 4.5 mm depth, which had been cut in 5083 aluminum plate of 10 mm thick. Packed groove was subjected to friction stir processing in order to im...

A novel method for fabricating an adhesive resistance surface is presented. Sandblasting and electrochemical machining were introduced to prepare micro-nano structures on the sample surface. Then, the prepared sample was immersed in a tridecafluoroctyltriethoxysilane ethanol solvent. The surface of the aluminum alloy sample roughened and covered with low-surface-energy chemical groups was exami...

In the present investigation, the effect of surface texture of soft materials on friction during sliding against hard materials was studied usin...

This paper presents a systematic approach to develop the mathematical model for predicting the ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and percentage of elongation of AA6351 aluminum alloy which is widely used in automotive, aircraft and defense Industries by incorporating (FSW) friction stir welding process parameter such as tool rotational speed, welding speed, and axial force. FSW has bee...
