in this study, cu50-ni50 alloy were synthesized by mechanical alloying. the alloy was then reinforced by dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes using a planetary high energy ball mill. x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer were used to evaluate the effects of cnt addition on the characteristics of the nanocomposites. xrd results of cu-ni sample sh...

 One of the surface defects that arise in sheet metal working is when the part removes from the die. Since there are no external forces to make this defect, the origin of such fail is known as residual stress. Residual stress can develop in sheet metal forming due to non uniform deformation. In this paper, the workpiece is carbon steel with different volume fractions and arrangement of ferrite ...

Mixtures of anisotropic nanocrystals promise a great diversity of superlattices and phase behaviors beyond those of single-component systems. However, obtaining a colloidal shape alloy in which two different shapes are thermodynamically coassembled into a crystalline superlattice has remained a challenge. Here we present a joint experimental-computational investigation of two geometrically ubiq...

PURPOSE The aim of the present paper was a question of structural identification and evaluation of strength parameters of Titanium (Ticp - grade 2) and its alloy (Ti6Al4V) which are used to serve as a base for those permanent prosthetic supplements which are later manufactured employing CAD/CAM systems. METHODS Microstructural tests of Ticp and Ti6Al4V were conducted using an optical microsco...

The phase structures and hydrogen storage properties of a Ti Zr V Ni alloy are studied. It is found that this alloy consists of a 0.7 0.2 0.1 matrix and a secondary phase. The matrix is a B2-type compound with bcc structure and the secondary phase is a C14-type Laves phase with hexagonal structure. This alloy electrode has a larger charge–discharge capacity than stoichiometric TiNi electrodes b...

Purpose: The main objective of this study was development of determination of phase fraction methodology in cast magnesium alloy containing aluminum and rare earth elements. Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted on magnesium alloy containing 4 %wt. aluminum and 4 %wt. mixture of rare earth elements (mischmetal) in the as-cast condition. The mischmetal includes cerium, lanthanum, ...

The Al-Mg-Ge alloy is one of the age-hardening aluminum alloy after solution heat treatment. It has been proposed that the age-precipitation behavior of Al-Mg-Ge alloy is different from that of Al-Mg-Si alloy according to our previous works about the microstructure on Al-Mg-Ge alloy over-aged at 523K. For example, The hardness of peak aged Al-1.0mass%Mg2Ge alloy is higher than that of Al-1.0mas...

Nanoclusters formed during natural aging cause the negative effect of the two-step aging in the age-hardenable Al-Mg-Si alloys. The relationship between the clustering behavior during natural aging and the two-step aging behavior was studied using the hardness, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), electrical resistivity measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation in the...
