The purpose of this study is to investigate the quench sensitivity of the mechanical properties of 6061 and 6069 aluminum alloys. The relationship between mechanical properties and quench delay time at various temperatures between 200–500°C was determined. It was concluded that the 6069-T6 was somewhat more quench sensitive than 6061, which may be consistent with the composition difference. This study also provides increased data on the quench sensitivity of the traditional alloy, 6061-T6.

AbstractTo apply the ductile structural materials, the quasicrystal dispersion in aluminum alloys is one of effective methods. We have investigated mechanical properties of quasicrystal dispersed Al- Li-Cu alloy prepared by the twin-type piston anvil apparatus. The slow cooled samples are hard and ductile. The evaluated values of brittleness are from 6.0 to 14 erg for Ef, from 0.52 to 0.73MNm−3/2 for K1c and from 5.5 to 7.7 Nm−1 for Gic for the fastest and slowest cooled samples, respectively. The hardness of the quasicrystal dispersed Al-Li-Cu alloy is higher than that of the other commercial aluminum alloys. Based on the relationship between Vickers hardness and proof stress of aluminum alloys, we estimate the specific strength of Al-Li-Cu quasicrystal alloy. The maximum value is the higher than that of Ti alloys.

Aluminum alloys have been extensively used as structural material due to its high strength and damage-tolerance. Alloy 6061, 2024 and 7075 are engineered to be lightweight and strong,and their ease of formability allows complex shapes and drawn parts,which can then be further enhanced with heat treating. In this study is aimed to improve the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys by heat treatment.AA2024 and AA7075 were selected and each alone at T3 and T6 temper conditions has been studied respectively.For the mechanical properties of AA2024 and AA7075 alloyshardness, fatigue behavior, tensile test and charpy impact test with standard V notched specimens at RTand-5 °C were analysed in the present study. Microstructural characterization has been done using standard metallography.

The relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties in cast aluminum alloys is complex and is strongly affected by the casting process conditions and melt handling practices. The aim of the current work is to understand the critical interactions between material microstructure, mechanical properties and process quality in the development of high performance aluminum alloys. The mechanical properties were investigated and correlated with microstructural features such as porosity, Fe -rich particles, secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) and Si -particle length. The correlation with process quality measures such as bifilm index, density index and sludge factor (SF) were also investigated. The Si -particle lengths were found to explain variation in material strength and ductility which factors such as the bifilm index and porosity could not.

This study was designed to explore the relationship between sunlight exposure and the mechanical properties of paragliding fabrics which have different colors, densities, yarn counts, and coating materials. This study exposed 5 different colors of paragliding fabrics (red, turquoise, dark blue, orange, and white) to intense sunlight for 150 hours during the summer from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for 5 days a week for 5 weeks. Before and after the UV radiation aging process, the air permeability, tensile strength, tear strength, and bursting strength tests were performed. Test results were also evaluated using statistical methods. According to the results, the fading of the turquoise fabric was found to be the highest among the studied fabrics. It was determined that there is a significant decrease in the mechanical properties of the fabrics after sunlight exposure. After aging, the fabrics become considerably weaker in the case of mechanical properties due to the degradation in both the dyestuff and macromolecular structure of the fiber

The presence of Fe and harmful effects on mechanical properties of pure aluminum and aluminum alloys are introduced. Several purification methods are reviewed, but all of them are of definite limitations. It is effective that precipitation method, filtration method and centrifugal division method are integrated.

AbstractWater is as an economic, eco-friendly, and efficient lubricant that has gained widespread attention for manufacturing. Using graphene oxide (GO)-based materials can improve the lubricant efficacy of water lubrication due to their outstanding mechanical properties, water dispersibility, and broad application scenarios. In this review, we offer a brief introduction about the background of water lubrication and GO. Subsequently, the synthesis, structure, and lubrication theory of GO are analyzed. Particular attention is focused on the relationship between pH, concentration, and lubrication efficacy when discussing the tribology behaviors of pristine GO. By compounding or reacting GO with various modifiers, amounts of GO-composites are synthesized and applied as lubricant additives or into frictional pairs for different usage scenarios. These various strategies of GO-composite generate interesting effects on the tribology behaviors. Several application cases of GO-based materials are described in water lubrication, including metal processing and bio-lubrication. The advantages and drawbacks of GO-composites are then discussed. The development of GO-based materials for water lubrication is described including some challenges.

In this research, we intended to examine the effect of heating mode on the densification, microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of sintered aluminum alloys. The compacts were sintered in conventional (radiation-heated) and microwave (2.45 GHz, multimode) sintering furnaces followed by aging. Detailed analysis of the final sintered aluminum alloys was done using optical and scanning electron microscopes. The observations revealed that the microwave sintered sample has a relatively finer microstructure compared to its conventionally sintered counterparts. The experimental results also show that microwave sintered alloy has the best mechanical properties over conventionally sintered compacts. Similarly, the microwave sintered samples showed better corrosion resistance than conventionally sintered ones.
