Abstract Zinc, a soft material with low melting point and high corrosion resistance, was coated onto AZ31B Mg alloy using different cold spraying process parameters. The physical mechanical properties of the resulting Zn/AZ31B samples were then investigated to explore effect parameters on microstructural characteristics. results obtained via X-ray diffraction show formation an intermetallic at ...

Shot peening technologies can improve the performance of materials and extend service life parts. Cavitation water jet (CWJP) is a new shot technology that uses shear effect high-speed in submerged environment to produce cluster bubbles, thereby achieving significant increase impact performance. In this paper, CWJP was used strengthen surface 7075 aluminum alloy (Al7075), effects with different...

The construction and application of traditional high-strength 7075 aluminum alloy (Al7075) through selective laser melting (SLM) are currently restricted by the serious hot cracking phenomenon. To address this critical issue, in study, Si is employed to assist SLM printing Al7075. energy density during optimized, effects element on solidification path, relative density, microstructure mechanica...

Aerospace applications and energy-saving strategies in general raised the interest and study in the field of lightweight materials, especially on aluminum alloys. Aluminum alloy itself does not have appropriate wear resistance. Therefore, improvement of surface properties is required in practical applications, especially when aluminum is in contact with other parts. In this work, first titanium...
