Spring applications require materials that possess a low Young’s modulus and high strength, in addition to having a lower alloying percentage for reduced costs. In this study, a new low-cost ¢-type titanium alloy with a lower alloying percentage than conventional ¢-type alloys was developed for spring applications using [Al]eq and [Mo]eq. The alloy is located in the near-¢ region and its ¢ tran...

The finite element procedure with the unified disturbed state modeling concept presented in Part I, Basaran et al. (1998), is verified here with respect to laboratory test results for Pb40/Sn60 eutectic solder alloy. This solder alloy is a commonly used interconnection material for surface mount technology packages. It is demonstrated that the proposed procedure provides highly satisfactory cor...

Al-0.9Si-0.6Mg (wt%) alloy conductive wires were designed and produced by continuous rheo-extrusion process. The effects of different heat treatment on microstructure, mechanical and conductive properties of the wires were studied. Results show that, after T6 heat treatment, conductive property of the alloy increased while elongation decreased with the higher aging temperature and longer aging ...

Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs), reinforced with ceramic particulates, have significant applications in the field of aerospace, marine, automobiles, sports and recreation. Al-TiC particulate composite has better potential for high-temperature applications. The corrosion behaviour of Al 6061-TiC particulate composites prepared by stir casting route, has been explored in chloride medium using e...

The paper presents the results of studies on the effect of the AlSi17Cu5 alloy overheating to atemperature of 920°C and modification with phosphorus (CuP10) on the resultingmechanical (HB, Rm, R0.2) and plastic (A5 and Z) properties. It has been shown that, so-called, "timethermal treatment" (TTT) of an alloy in the liquid state, consisting inoverheating the metal to about 250°C above T liq,hol...

in this research, surface composite layers containing nano sized tib2, al2o3-tib2, zro2 and cnt particles have been fabricated on aluminum alloy substrates by friction stir processing. the effects of different processing variables such as number of passes and strengthening particle distribution, hardness, and wear properties of surface nanocomposite layers have been evaluated by electron micros...
