The effect of compound modification and various kinds of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of the low chromium white cast iron was studied.The results showed that,after modification,the carbide morphology in cast iron has been greatly improved;the annealed modified cast iron is suitable for ma…
The origin and role of S3 boundaries during dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and grain boundary engineering (GBE) of a Ti-modified austenitic stainless steel (alloy D9) is studied. Hot deformation tests were carried out on solution-annealed (SA) specimens to study the DRX behavior whereas a series of cold deformation a…
Tribological behaviors and wear process of the unfilled and 2% nano-serpentine filled polymer-based hybrid PTFE/Kevlar fabric composites were evaluated on a MMU-5G friction and wear tester. The variation of the morphologies of the worn surface and the morphologies of transfer film during the wear processes of the two co…
Abstract Lead‐free (Bi0.5Na0.5)1–x–y–z(Bi0.5K0.5)xBay(Bi0.5Li0.5)zTiO3 piezoelectric ceramics have been prepared by a conventional ceramic technique and their structure and electrical properties have been studied. The results of XRD diffraction show that after the addition of K+, Ba2+, and Li+, a new Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3‐ba…
Abstract Shrinkage is critical to the unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) composite materials. Shrinkage influences the surface appearance, thus leading to warpage, internal cracks, and depression on the surface of the composite materials' products. Some studies and technologies have been conducted to controll the shrin…
Microstructure evolution and metastable phase formation in undercooled melts of Fe-Ni based soft magnetic alloys were studied by the electromagnetic levitation technique in ground-based experiments and under microgravity during parabolic flight campaigns. Discontinuous changes in the microstructure were observed in sa…
Containerless solidification using electromagnetic levitator (EML), gas atomization and an instrumented drop tube, known as impulse atomization is investigated for Al-Fe and Al-Ni alloys. The effects of primary phase and eutectic undercooling on the microstructure of Al-Fe alloys are investigated using the impulse dro…
Autothermal reforming of methanol is considered to be a promising choice for hydrogen production. However, due to the fact that a series of complex chemical reactions are involved, an exact mathematical model is extremely hard to be established, which makes the control of the process a recognized difficulty. Therefore…
A new ultrasonication dispersion – microwave cure (UD-MC) method for preparing highly exfoliated layered epoxy/clay nanocomposites was developed. The process was divided into two consecutive stages. In the first stage, the epoxy and organoclay were mixed by high stirring and ultrasonication in the presence of acetone.…
The electrochemical behavior of corrosion resistance alloys (316L SS, 2205 DSS and Inconel 625) was carried out at ambient temperature in 3.5% NaCl solution using potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Some significant characterization parameters such as Ecorr, Eb, Ic…
The severe plastic deformation (SPD) of metallic materials has become attractive in recent years. Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) is a SPD process that can impose deformation to a sheet metal, as it develops fine grains of typically submicrometer or even the nanometer level in polycrystalline materials. The purpose of…
An effective NH4Cl-assisted method for purification of carbon nanotube (CNT) macro-films is reported. Compared to previous oxidation in acid, this method induces little destruction to the graphitic structure of CNTs, and more importantly, the morphology and integrity of the macroscopic film are maintained.
Ferroelectric BiFeO3 (BFO) is potential candidate for future generation of FeRAM due to its large polarization. However, BFO is very sensitive to secondary phase formation during synthesis because of volatility issues related to Bismuth. Investigation of the microstructure for phase purity is the key as impurities can…
A new method for reconstructing a High Resolution Orientation Distribution Function (HRODF) from X-ray diffraction data is presented. It is shown that the method is capable of accommodating very localized features, e.g. sharp peaks from recrystallized grains on a background of a texture component from the deformed mat…
A generic rationale for the fabrication of high aspect ratio fibrillar nanoscale arrays is described. The design emulates an intermittence effect observed for β-structured α-synunclein fibrils, reported herein, in a structurally unrelated α-helical fiber. The generated nanoarrays are composed of periodic nanosized seg…
A method is presented for adapting the classical Bishop-Hill model to the requirements of elastic/yield-limited design in metals of arbitrary crystallographic texture. The proposed Hybrid Bishop-Hill (HBH) model, which will be applied to ductile FCC metals, retains the “stress corners” of the polyhedral Bishop-Hill yi…
Friction stir processing (FSP) is an emerging grain refinement technique for magnesium alloys. In this study, a cast AZ91 alloy was processed by a single-pass FSP to achieve an average grain size of ~6 mm in the nugget zone. The FSP is found to introduce texture in the alloy due to preferred alignment of basal poles i…
During high rate severe plastic deformation (HRSPD), strain and strain-rate are not the only external factors that determine microstructural transformations in materials, temperature-rise due to heat generation from deformation processes, also plays an important role. Temperature may influence the microstructure direc…
Abstract A series of in situ polymerized CNT/PI nanocomposite materials synthesized at a fixed diamine‐to‐dianhydride monomer feed ratio with varying concentrations of added –COOH‐ functionalized CNT is studied. It is found that the glass transition temperature of the nanocomposite varies non‐monotonically with CNT co…
This paper presents the results of a current study on the mechanical properties of a polypropylene matrix resin, enhanced using nanoclay filler with a special silane treatment. The study was centred on the effect of adding nanoclay and of water immersion on static and fatigue behaviour. Specimens filled up to 3% in we…
