Stainless steels stabilized with Ti or Nb are largely used in offshore and shipbuilding industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance. In this study, carbide stabilizers, Ti and Nb, were added to stainless steel 304 specimens with different concentrations(Ti: 0.26%, 0.71%, Nb: 0.29%, 0.46%, 0.71%), and their mechanical and electrochemical characteristics were evaluated. Micro-Vickers har...

In this paper, the effects of Nb addition (5-20 wt %) on the microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion behavior, and cytotoxicity of Ti-Nb alloys were investigated with the aim of understanding the relationship between phase/microstructure and various properties of Ti-xNb alloys. Phase/microstructure was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, and TEM. The results indicated that the...

Scandium-reinforced aluminum alloys represent a new generation of high-performance alloys that display numerous advantages over high-strength aluminum alloys. Scandium-reinforced alloys are much stronger than other high-strength alloys, exhibit significant grain refinement, strengthen welds, and eliminate hot cracking in welds. These alloys also exhibit a good resistance to corrosion as shown b...

Abstract A process chain of compound casting and co-extrusion AA7075/6060 bilayer billets is introduced to manufacture hybrid components with strength in the core good corrosion-resistance shell. Using optimized parameter, metallurgical bonding between shell AA6060 AA7075 can be achieved through remelting recrystallization substrate AA7075. The locally unequal thermal conditions at interface in...

Abstract The main goal of this study was to achieve poreless titanium alloys with nanocrystalline structure. To end, the influence Ta, Mg and Zn content on properties Ti investigated. At first, powders x Ta y Zn, where = (30 40 wt.%) (3 5 wt.%), were prepared using mechanical alloying process at room temperature. Then, hot-pressing 750 °C under vacuum applied for 10 s consolidate powders. struc...

An investigation was conducted to explore the applicability of eddy current and microwave techniques to characterize grains size variation during mechanical alloying. A series of Nanocrystalline (Fe65Co35)70Al30 samples have been prepared, these structures are prepared using mechanical alloying based on planetary ball mill under several milling conditions. Mechanical alloying is a non-equilibri...

Plasma Surface Metallurgy /Alloying is a kind of surface metallurgy/alloying to employ low temperature plasma produced by glow discharge diffuse alloying elements into the substrate material form an alloy layer. It different with ion nitriding technology, which only applicable infiltration non-metallic elements. “Double Glow Technology”, also known as “Xu-Tec Process” can utilize any chemical i...

Mechanical alloying is a powder metallurgy processing technique involving cold welding, fracturing, and rewelding of powder particles in a high-energy ball mill. In this work, NiFe-TiC composite powders were prepared by mechanical alloying process using planetary high-energy ball mill. The effect of TiC addition by weight percent on the NiFe solid solution formation, grain size, lattice paramet...
