fiber metal laminates are hybrid laminates consisting of thin alternating bonded layers of aluminum and fiber/epoxy. arall (aramid aluminum laminate) and galare (glass fiber reinforced aluminum laminate) are specific kinds of fiber metal laminates that consist of thin aluminum sheets along with kevlar/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite layers, respectively. in this study, nonlinear tensile behavio...

In this paper, a characterization of an AlSiMg alloy processed by direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) is presented, from the analysis of the starting powders, in terms of size, morphology and chemical composition, through to the evaluation of mechanical and microstructural properties of specimens built along different orientations parallel and perpendicular to the powder deposition plane. With ...

We present the results of in-situ studies of evolution of grain boundary misorientations in ultrafine grained (UFG) aluminum alloy Al-4 Cu-0.5 Zr (wt%) during annealing. The structure of the UFG alloy was obtained by severe plastic deformation method. Misorientations between the grains were measured using single reflection technique. It was found that relaxation processes during annealing are a...

Quantitative in-situ and localized analytical methods that can monitor Mg release are central to probe the impact of the microstructure on magnesium alloy corrosion. As such, a potentiometric micro-Mg ion-selective membrane electrode is fabricated, calibrated, characterized and used to selectively monitor the Mg release from different cast Mg AM50 alloys during corrosion. We demonstrate that th...

Abstract Background and Aims Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is a serious condition that greatly impacts patients’ quality of life (QoL). Moderate-severe affects up to 47% patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD) [1]. The aim this analysis was assess the impact itch relief on disease social functioning domains Skindex-10 questionnaire in post hoc difelikefalin (DFK) Phase 3 st...

The effect of repeated repair welding, shielded with argon, on microstructural properties, corrosion resistance, and dry sliding wear behavior of aluminum alloy 5083/H116 were investigated. Samples were welded by metal inert gas welding method. 100% argon was used to protect fusion zone. Aluminum alloy 5356 was used as the filler metal. The samples for microstructure, corrosion, and wear tests ...

In this work, repaired crack in 6061T6 aluminum plate with composite patches presented, firstly we determine the displacement, strain and stress, also the first six mode shape of the plate, secondly we took the same model adding central crack initiation, which is located in the center of the plate, its seize vary from 20 mm to 60 mm and we compare the first results with second. Thirdly we repai...

The goal of the present research is to develop a better understanding of the tensile response of open-cellular aluminum 6061 T6 alloy. Both tensile and compression samples of this metallic foam were tested under constant strain rate conditions at 293, 423, and 523 K. Scanning electron microscopy was performed on individual struts to assess the modes and mechanisms associated with fracture. Theo...

Peak amplitude measurements of the fundamental mode of oscillation of a suspended aluminum alloy bar hit by an electron beam show that the amplitude is enhanced by a factor ∼ 3.5 when the material is in the superconducting state. This result is consistent with the cosmic ray observations made by the resonant gravitational wave detector NAUTILUS, made of the same alloy, when operated in the supe...
