Ti alloys are widely utilized for industrial applications due to their excellent mechanical properties combined with low density. In general, Ti alloys are classified as , + and  alloys, with further subdivision into near  and metastable  alloys. Quite recently, we have presented new type structural ’ martensite (H.C.P.) Ti alloys with low Young’s modulus, high strength and excellent ductility at room temperature. In this work, we examined the microstructure and mechanical properties of ’ martensite type Ti-V-Al alloy after cold- or hot working process. Then, we found that deformation behavior of ’ initial microstructure as compared with (+) initial microstructure was different based on the results of stress-strain curves and Processing Maps under the hot working process. Further, cold rolled ’ martensite microstructure exhibited the refined equiaxed dislocation cell structure, thereby resulting in high strength. This result suggests the new type deformation processing (for both cold- and hot work processing) utilizing ’ martensite in industrial Ti alloys.

Based on compression curves of spherical pores Al foam measured, compressive yield strength, the densification starting pointand energy absorption had been investigated. The compressive stress-strain curve of spherical pores Al foam consists of three distinct regions, i.e., the linear elasticity region, yield platform stage and the densification region. The way to determine the densification starting pointεDof high density metal foam has been presented. Spherical pores Al foam is a cellular metal material of high plastic performance, so energy absorption capability of it is bigger than that of spherical pores Al alloy foam. Compressive yield stress was in good agreement with Gibson-Ashby model’s expectation.

Now a day’s composite materials are taking very important role in industrial growth. Composite materials are widely used in Automobiles, aerospace, submarine and also in other major fields, due to their special characteristics like light weight, high strength, stiffness, corrosion resistance. The determination of Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) of MMCs is important to aid its usage in high temperature environment as in the case of automobile combustion chamber. In these applications the stability of the composites over a long period of operation is a critical design considerationPresent work deals with the thermal property evaluation of the Al alloy / alumina metal matrix composite developed using the Stir Casting with chilling route technique. LM 26 Al alloy is being selected as the matrix material as it is a potential alloy for automotive piston applications. Al alloy / alumina MMCs was cast under end chilling technique by dispersing the reinforcement from 6 to 12 wt% the steps of 3% to study the variation in its thermal properties. At the same time chill material is also changed (Copper and MS) for different composition of MMCs cast to study the thermal behavior variations. After casting the required MMC, test specimens were prepared as per the standards to conduct thermal conductivity (K) tests and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) tests. Above tests were repeated for different composites containing different weight % of dispersed cast using different chills.

We developed a new type of a human-sized BWR (biped walking robot) driven by the closed-chain type of a joint actuator. Each leg of the BWR is composed of three pitch joints and one roll joint. In all, a 12 degree-of-freedom robot, including four arm joints, was developed. The BWR was designed to walk autonomously; it is actuated by small 90W DC motors/drivers and is has DC batteries and controllers. A new type of the joint actuator for the BWR is composed of the four-bar-link mechanism driven by a ball screw which has high strength and high gear ratio despite its light weight.In this paper, analyses on the four-bar-link mechanism applied to the joint actuator and on the structure of the BWR are presented. Through walking experiments of the BWR, the superior trajectory-tracking ability of the proposed joint actuator is validated.

AZ31 Mg / 5083 Al clad sheet was fabricated by the hot rolling method and its mechanical properties were investigated in this study. The tensile strength and yield strength of Mg- Al clad samples were slightly higher than that of AZ31 Mg sample, resulting in high strength 5083 Al alloy. Also, in the case of the AZ31 Mg sample, tensile strength indicated different values to the rolling directions. The thickness of interface layers between magnesium and aluminum materials increased with increasing rolling temperature. The thickness of interface layer was about 1.2 μm and 1.6 μm, respectively. The difference of thickness on the interface layer with variation of rolling temperature was attributed to promote the diffusion between magnesium and aluminum materials. The Vickers hardness of Mg-Al interface layer was around 125 Hv. The interface layer composed of hard inter-metallic phases which may act a increment of Vickers hardness depending upon its thickness.

A final thermomechanical treatment (FTMT) including peak aging and subsequent dynamic aging was proposed to prepare 7055 Al alloy sheets. The optimization was based on nine well-planned orthogonal experiments. Three main processing conditions in the thermomechanical treatment for obtaining the optimum synthetic properties of 7055 (i.e. preheating temperature, final rolling temperature and deformation degree) were investigated. It was shown that the final rolling temperature is the most important factor among the three parameters, and the optimum properties (yield strength: 651 MPa, ultimate tensile strength: 660 MPa) of 7055 Al alloy sheet can be gained with preheating at 140oC and 40% deformation at 170oC. With dynamic aging, grain boundary precipitates became discontinuous without much coarsening of matrix precipitates, while they were continuously distributed after T6 aging. The present optimal FTMT process can improve the intergranular / exfoliation corrosion resistance without sacrificing the strength compared to T6 tempering. The present FTMT process as a good alternative can produce high-strength Al alloy sheets with high strength and good corrosion resistance efficiently and economically.
