Effect of Zn on the corrosion behaviours Mg-11Li-xZn (x = 0, 1, 3, 6; termed as L11, LZ111, LZ113, LZ116) alloys in 0.1 M NaCl solution has been investigated. The results reveal that resistance four increases following order LZ116 < LZ113 ≈ L11 LZ111. Besides, filiform-like occurs at early stage for alloys, while additional pitting preferentially emerges and with immersion time. small alloying can reduce rate Mg-11Li excess will accelerate due to existence micro-galvanic effect between...
The influence of grain size on the tensile deformation and ductility for Mg–1.02% Zn (wt.%) alloy was investigated. uniform elongation is nearly insensitive to increase size, but post-uniform significantly decreased with increasing size. high in fine-grained samples due lower frequency twins increased dynamic recovery from enhanced activation prismatic 〈a〉 slip.
Reliability of MEM (microelectromechanical) devices can be limited by stiction forces that develop in use. It is desirable to alter the mechanical and interfacial behaviour silicon surfaces application very thin, low surface energy stress coatings. In this publication we report nanomechanical nanotribological characterization a range 5–150 nm thin films deposited on filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering. A method analysing nano-scratch data with...
The body-centered cubic (BCC)-structured magnesium–lithium (Mg-Li) alloy is the lightest metal material, but its mechanical properties are poor, especially strength. In this study, effect of adding rare earth Y on microstructure and as-cast BCC Mg-11Li-6Zn-xY (x = 0, 0.5, 1.2, 2, in wt.%) alloys was investigated. results revealed that massive amounts nano-scale θ (MgLiZn) and/or θ’ (MgLi2Zn) precipitated inside grains, some phases at grain boundaries Mg-11Li-6Zn alloy. With addition Y, W...
The traditionally used low-reduction rolling (LRR) always causes a 'TD-split' texture (TD: transverse direction) in Mg–Zn–RE alloy plates, which results planar anisotropy the mechanical properties and limited formability. Therefore, it is necessary to modify such reduce increase In present work, unidirectional approach, final-pass heavy reduction (FHRR), was applied Mg–1Zn–1Y–0.5Zr ingot have exhibited using LRR. It found that, when ratio of above 50% combined by suitable annealing,...
Constant load, progressive load and multipass nanoscratch (nanowear) tests were carried out on 500 1500 nm TiN coatings M42 steel chosen as model systems. The influences of film thickness, coating roughness, scratch direction relative to the grinding grooves critical in test number cycles failure wear have been determined. Progress towards development a suitable methodology for determining hardness from is discussed.
Very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) tests were carried out under variable amplitude loading for TC21 titanium alloy. The first level of was set as 950 MPa close to yield strength, and the second low determined between 435 500 where cracks initiated at specimen subsurface constant amplitude. results indicate that high/low stress block significantly reduced cumulative life amplitude, crack initiation site changed from surface block. Based on continuum damage mechanics, model two-step established...
