Friction Stir Knead Welding of steel aluminium butt joints
2008
To develop steel aluminium-tailored hybrids in a butt joint for sheets in a thickness of about 1 mm conventional Friction Stir Welding is not feasible due to a high distortion of the welded specimen. Contrary to Friction Stir Welding the tool used for Friction Stir Knead Welding has no pin wherefore higher welding speeds can be realised. Due to the fact that this is a newer process, applied for patent in 2005, the cut contours of the edges and their variations have to be optimised by numerical analysis to transfer a maximum of load in order to improve the formability. The examined materials in this paper are steel DC04, as well as the aluminium alloys AA5182 and AA6016 in sheet thicknesses …
On the linear friction welding process of aluminum alloys: Experimental insights through process monitoring
2013
Abstract Linear friction welding is a solid-state joining process for non-axisymmetric components in which joining of materials is obtained through the relative motion of two components under pressure. In the process the heat source is given by the frictional forces work decaying into heat determining a local softening of the material and eventually bonding conditions. A dedicated fixture was equipped with sensors for the in-process acquisition of variables regarding kinematics, dynamics and temperature levels. The results of an experimental campaign aimed to weld AA6082-T6 aluminum alloy parts are presented and a process window is identified for the used alloy.
Enhanced Heterogeneously Catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura Reaction over SiliaCat Pd(0)
2013
Abstract The SiliaCat Pd(0) solid catalyst can be efficiently employed in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of an ample variety of haloarenes, including economically viable chloroarenes. The catalyst can be extensively recycled without loss of activity and with low leaching of valued palladium, opening the route to widespread utilization of the method to afford high yields of biaryls devoid of contaminating by-products.
Investigation of the effect of intensive milling in a planetary ball mill on the thermal decomposition of basic nickel carbonate
2011
The kinetics of thermal decomposition of basic nickel carbonate NiCO3Ni?(OH)2?nH2O and the effect of intensive milling in a planetary ball mill on its parameters, have been investigated. The values of the reaction heat and of the activation energy of thermal decomposition have been determined. Investigations of the thermal decomposition of the products of ball milling of investigated compound revealed a distinct effect of milling on the reaction temperature and heat consumed during the thermal decomposition of investigated compound.
Experimental investigation and multi-scale modelling of the behavior of mechanically activated metallic powders : from binary systems to High Entropy…
2021
Generally, metal alloys consist of a main element associated with other elements present in smaller quantities such as iron, nickel, aluminum or copper alloys. The precise composition of an alloy is adjusted according to the required performance: high temperature behavior, corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, durability ... In 2004, a Taiwanese scientist, JW Yeh, had the idea of making an alloy base of several elements, at least 5, whose composition in the alloy varies between 5% and 30% at. Yeh invented the high entropy alloy (HEA). Mixed on a microscopic scale, the metals form a remarkably stable solid solution. The explanation is thermodynamic. An alloy is all the more stable as …
In-situ annealing characterization of atomic-layer-deposited Al2O3 in N2, H2 and vacuum atmospheres
2019
Tarkista embargo, kun artikkeli julkaistu. Atomic-layer-deposited Al 2 O 3 films can be used for passivation, protective, and functional purposes in electronic devices. However, as-deposited, amorphous alumina is susceptible to chemical attack and corrosion during manufacturing and field-use. On the contrary, crystalline Al 2 O 3 is resistant against aggressive chemical treatments and corrosion. Here, high-temperature treatments in N 2 , H 2 , and vacuum were used to crystallize alumina which exhibited different crystalline phases. The annealing process was monitored continuously in situ by measuring the film temperature and surface reflectance to understand the crystallization kinetics. Ex…
Obtaining of nanostructured ZnO coatings using mechanoactivated oxidation
2007
The concept to use nanostructured state of metal at the instant of destruction in air environment was used to obtain nanostructured Zn-ZnO coatings on glass and quartz by mechanical method. Subsequent annealing in the ambient atmosphere, annealing in vacuum and irradiation with 532-nm YAG:Nd laser were used to obtain completely oxidized, transparent ZnO coatings. The saturated with oxygen nanostructured coatings were transformed into nanostructured ZnO coatings after annealing above 773K or irradiation with laser (allowing to reach 673K) in ambient atmosphere. AFM and SEM images show that after annealing ZnO coatings have multi-shaped structure. The formation of ZnO need-like whiskers (d = …
Effect of the milling conditions on the degree of amorphization of selenium by milling in a planetary ball mill
2007
The effect of the milling parameters (rotation speed of the milling device and duration of milling) on the phase composition of the products of milling of fully crystalline selenium has been investigated. The milling was conducted using a planetary micromill and the phase composition of the milling products was determined by differential thermal analysis. It has been found that ball milling leads to the partial amorphization of the starting crystalline material. The content of amorphous phase in the milling products depends, in a rather complicated way, on the milling parameters. At the milling parameters adopted in the present study, the milling product was never fully amorphous. The compl…
Investigation of the effect of intensive ball milling in a planetary ball mill on the thermal decomposition of cadmium carbonate and basic zinc carbo…
2007
The kinetics of thermal decomposition of cadmium carbonate CdCO3 and basic zinc carbonate ZnCO3?nZn(OH)2 and the effect of intensive milling in a planetary ball mill on its parameters, have been investigated. The values of the reaction heat and of the activation energies of thermal decomposition have been determined for both the compounds. Investigations of the thermal decomposition of the products of ball milling of investigated compounds revealed a slight effect of milling conditions on the reaction temperature and heat consumed during the thermal decomposition of ZnCO3?nZn(OH)2. No effect of ball milling on the thermal decomposition of CdCO3 has been found.
Presentation of the DSIP method for study of recrystallization process in subsurface zone induced by sandblasting
2011
In the paper we demonstrate the application of the positron annihilation experimental technique based on the scan of the positron implantation profile for observation of the recrystallization process in the subsurface zone (SZ). The SZ was created in the copper sample whose surface was exposed to a sandblasting treatment and then annealed at different temperatures. Application of 68Ge/68Ga positron source allows us to scan the depth of c.a. 150 μm. It was found that recrystallization goes faster close to the surface than in deeper regions. The complete rebuilding of the microstructure takes place at temperature of 600 °C. Some changes in the defect structure begin at temperature of 300 °C.
