The struts of reticulated aluminum foams were coated with nanocrystalline Ni–W by electrodeposition. The thickness and composition of these high-strength coatings are controlled by varying the bath chemistry, applied current conditions and deposition time. Despite an increase in density as compared to the uncoated foams, the coated foams exhibit improvements in both absolute and specific streng...

The electrochemical properties of fluoride-coated lithium cobalt oxide [LiCoO2] thin films were characterized. Aluminum fluoride [AlF3] and lanthanum fluoride [LaF3] coating layers were fabricated on a pristine LiCoO2 thin film by using a spin-coating process. The AlF3- and LaF3-coated films exhibited a higher rate capability, cyclic performance, and stability at high temperature than the prist...

Hot-stamped ultrahigh strength steel components are pivotal to automotive light-weighting. Steel blanks, often coated with an aluminum-silicon (Al-Si) layer protect them from oxidation and decarburization, austenitized within a furnace then simultaneously quenched formed into shape. The Al-Si coating melts the reacts iron yield intermetallic phase that provides some long-term corrosion protecti...

Ultrahigh-field 27Al MAS and MQMAS NMR and 129Xe NMR were used to characterize the zeolite-coated SBA-15 materials. This study shows evidence that zeolite nanoclusters are coated on the mesopore surface of SBA-15. These techniques are useful for the detection of zeolite nanoclusters and different aluminum environments in zeolite/aluminosilicate composites, which are difficult or even impossible...

Introduction According to present theory, the nuclear processes in the sun give off vast quantities of neutrinos-Experiments confirm the production of these particles, but fail to detect the quantity predicted by theory. The most recent experiments have found a maximum of two thirds the expected number of neutrinos. The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory is being constructed to accurately determine t...

As a solid-state bonding technology, ultrasonic welding (USW) has the characteristics of green energy saving and environmental friendliness. It is more suitable for joining dissimilar metals than other technologies. The aluminum-to-steel USWed joint been widely used in automotive aviation industries. Currently, there no review literature report on USW. main physical phenomena USW process includ...

Studies of the crushing behavior of closed-cell, aluminum foam-filled aluminum and steel tubes have shown an interaction effect between tube wall and foam filler [1, 2, 3]. The crushing loads of foam-filled tubes are, therefore, found to be higher than the sum of the crushing loads of foam (alone) and tube (alone) mainly due to this effect. Santosa et al. [1], based on FEM results, proposed the...

Technology of round bars rolling on a three-high skew rolling mills allows rolling of standard materials such as steel and aluminum, as well as new materials, especially hard deformable materials. The paper presents the results of theoretical and experimental rolling process of aluminum bars with a diameter of 20 mm. As the stock round bars with a diameter of 25 mm made of aluminum grade 1050A ...

introduction one of the limitations of tissue conditioners (tc) is gradual hardening of the material in a short time period after insertion in the mouth, due to the loss of their viscoelastic properties. the aim of this study was to determine the softness of two different tissue conditioners with and without the monopoly coating. methods and materials in this experimental study, acropars and vi...
