ABSTRACTIn this paper an experimental study of YBa2Cu3O7−x/silver composites is presented and the relationship between microstructure, superconducting and mechanical properties is discussed. Silver contents ranging from 0 to 17 vol% fell all below the percolation treshold. X-ray and Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometry analyses indicate that Ag remains in a free state, and is located mainly at the grain boundaries. A tenfold increase in Jc. and a more than twofold increase in strength are the benefits of the improved microstructure of silver composites. The Tc remains unaffected.

In this paper, a method of using the second phase to control the grain growth in Fe–Al–Cr alloys was proposed, in order to obtain better mechanical properties. In Fe–Al–Cr alloys, austenitic transformation occurs by adding austenitizing elements, leading to the formation of the second phase and segregation at the grain boundaries, which hinders grain growth. FeCr(σ) phase was obtained in the Fe–Al–Cr alloys, which had grains of several microns and was coherent and coplanar with the matrix (Fe2AlCr). The nucleation of σ phase in Fe–Al–Cr alloy was controlled by the ratio of nickel to chromium. When the Ni/Cr (eq) ratio of alloys was more than 0.19, σ phase could nucleate in Fe–Al–Cr alloy. The relationship between austenitizing and nucleation of FeCr(σ) phase was given by thermodynamic calculation.

Geopolymer is an inorganic polymer performed in synthesis process of an aluminosilicate material which activated by alkaline activator solution. Marine clay, considered to be a waste substance which have an important aluminosilicate sources in developing geopolymer synthesis since it contains sufficient amounts of alumina and silica. In this experimental study, local marine clay composition was been identified to determine the amount of alumina and silica. The raw sample compositions were identified by using X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Incorporated with it composition, compressive strength of brick were been tested in aged of 1, 2 and 3 day and compared with local production of cement brick (CB). This research is aimed at determining the properties of Kuala Perlis marine clay in order to verify its suitability as a pozzolana materials as well as the sufficient amount of Al and Si to enhance the properties of geopolymer brick.

The effect of strontium (Sr) addition (0.2 at.%) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Nb-12Si-22Ti alloys were studied. Microstructure of the alloys was observed by scanning electron microscope, and their phase compositions were analyzed with X-ray diffraction and Electro-Probe Microanalyzer. The room temperature fracture toughness was measured. The results indicated that the phases of Nbss and Nb3Si were presented in Nb-12Si-22Ti alloys. However, with the Al and Sr addition, the alloys were composed of Nbss and β-Nb5Si3. Compared with the Nb-12Si-22Ti alloys, the value of room temperature fracture toughness increased about 46% and 73% with the addition of Al and Sr alloy, respectively. The relationship between the microstructure and the mechanical properties was discussed.

Abstract This work focused on the mechanical properties of 30SiMn2MoVA high strength steel gun barrel processed by cold radial forging. Three states of the tube made of this material (the state without forging, the as-forged state without annealing, and the as-forged state with annealing) were chosen to compare the axial and circumferential mechanical properties. As a result, anisotropy was found at as-forged state. The circumferential mechanical properties were inferior to the axial. The circumferential yield and tensile strength were about 150 MPa lower than the axial after forging, and the axial elongation was 155% higher than the circumferential. Even after annealing, the circumferential elongation cannot be restored to the same level as the state without forging. The reasons for anisotropy were investigated by the microstructure. The banded structure along the axial direction was observed in the forged barrel. Meanwhile, the crystalline grains of the forged gun barrel had the highest intensity of {111}〈110〉 texture which meant the grains had obvious preferential orientation. The relationship between crystallographic texture and yield strength was analyzed based on the Schmid factor. Additionally, the elastic limit internal pressure of anisotropic gun barrel was calculated, and it was lower than that under isotropic condition.

The aggregation structure of raw silk which influences the mechanical properties of raw silk directly is not only determined by the properties of cocoon but also affected by silk reeling velocity. In this study, the relationship between aggregation structure of raw silk and silk reeling velocity was studied by means of sonic velocity method, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The study showed that orientation degree, crystallinity and mechanical properties of raw silk were remarkably influenced by silk reeling velocity, and the mechanical properties of raw silk would be improved through the reasonable silk reeling velocity.

Purpose In this paper, the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of CoCr alloy fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) were studied, and the changes of performance after porcelain sintering process were also analysed. This study is to point out the relationship between the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of CoCr alloys prepared by SLM after porcelain sintering process. In addition, the biosafety of the sintered CoCr alloy was evaluated. Design/methodology/approach The microscopic feature changes of CoCr alloy samples after porcelain sintering process were observed by DMI 5000 M inverted metallographic microscope and Nova Nano430 FE-SEM. Moreover, phase identification and determination were conducted by X-ray diffraction (XRD) using Smartlab X-ray diffractometer. The Vickers microhardness was measured on the HVS-30 microhardness tester, and tensile tests were carried out on a CM3505 electronic universal testing machine. The corrosion resistance was tested by a classical three-point electrode system electrochemical method, then the ion precipitation was measured by using an atomic absorption spectrometer of Z2000 7JQ8024. Findings The XRD results indicate that the transition of γ phase (FCC) to e phase (HCP) occurs during the porcelain sintering processing of CoCr alloy. Moreover, the Vickers microhardness of the upper surface and the side surface of the CoCr alloy sample was improved by more than 36%. In addition, the ultimate strength of CoCr alloy via porcelain sintering treatment was increase to 1,395.3 ± 53.0 MPa compared to 1,282.7 ± 10.1 MPa of unprocessed CoCr alloy. However, the corrosion resistance of CoCr alloy samples decreases after porcelain sintering process. Originality/value There are few studies on the relationship of microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of CoCr alloys prepared by SLM after porcelain sintering process. In this study, the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of CoCr alloy after porcelain sintering process were studied, and the biosafety of the alloy was evaluated. The research found that it is feasible to apply CoCr alloy fabricated by SLM to dental medicine after porcelain sintering process.
