The plasma-electrolytic oxidation (PEO), which allows the formation of ceramic coatings on the surface of magnesium alloys, is the most advanced and effective method for their protection. But firstly, PEO process of magnesium alloys has some difficulties, and secondly, PEO coatings affect the thermophysical characteristics of the modified materials, in particular they reduce thermal diffusivity. The presented work is devoted to the development of the technological parameters for formation of protective coating on the ultra-light alloy Mg-8Li-1Al-0.6Ce-0.3Y by the PEO method. The results analyses of electrolytes acidity and specific electrical conductivity before and after PEO process and also investigation data of the coatings structure and surface morphology are presented. An integral assessment of the ability of thermal diffusivity and corrosion resistance of the modified alloy was made. Studying of protective and thermophysical characteristics of the obtained coating showed that it provides a sufficiently high corrosion protection, despite the relatively small thickness, and the presence of pores and slightly (not more than 5%) reduces the thermal diffusivity of the magnesium ultra-light alloy.","PeriodicalId":15700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42353360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Defects are first classified from through thickness infrared photoelastic images using a support vector machine learning algorithm. Characteristic wafer strength is shown to vary with the angle of applied uniaxial tensile load, showing greater strength when loaded perpendicular to the direction of wire motion than when loaded along the direction of wire motion. Observed variations in characteristic strength and Weibull shape modulus with applied tensile loading direction stem from the distribution of crack orientations and the bulk stress field acting on the microcracks. Using this method it is possible to improve manufacturing processes for silicon wafers by rapidly, accurately, and nondestructively characterizing large batches in an automated way.","PeriodicalId":15700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49573524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The graphene nanoplatelets are modeled as elliptical fillers to enable planar aspect ratio variations. We find that decreasing the graphite’s thickness results in an exponential performance improvement of the nanocomposites, in contrast to a linear improvement obtained when the planar aspect ratio is increased, for the same filler volume. Furthermore, we show that hybrid nanocomposites fabricated with partial replacement of GNP by carbon nanotube (CNT) may improve the electrical performance of the GNP monofiller composites. Improvement or deterioration of the electrical properties is mainly based on the morphology and content of the fillers mixed in the hybrids. Nonetheless, using a minimal amount of CNT for substitution always leads to the highest improvement in conductivity in the hybrids, while additional CNTs only lead to smaller improvement at best or even deterioration. The results are validated against experimental works and offer useful insights for the fabrication of highly conductive nanocomposites.","PeriodicalId":15700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91218929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new method is proposed that incorporates lost-foam and melt infiltration with semicentrifugal casting to produce FGMMC.

Results reveal the optimum procedure and process settings based on desired properties/gradient required. Mathematical model formulated captures the effect of these process parameters on process cost, and cost of poor quality. Improper selection of those parameters may lead to extensive losses due cost of poor quality which is 12 times higher than the material cost.

Among the printable metals, the Inconel 625 has found a wide variety of cutting-edge applications in the aerospace, defense, and space sectors. Thus, knowledge of mechanical properties under quasi-static and dynamic conditions is fundamental. In this work, the quasi-static and dynamic compression behavior of Inconel 625 obtained by LMD is presented. The curves of printed Inconel 625 showed a change in slope in the work hardening phase, which is due to the mechanics of the dislocation motion. Therefore, a modified two-stage (TS) Hollomon power-law is proposed to model this specific mechanical behavior, which identifies a threshold strain that delimit two different hardening behaviors. Furthermore, Johnson–Cook and Cowper–Symonds models were used to represent the effect of strain rate and temperature on the material properties. A variable strain rate sensitivity along the compression strain was found. Hence, double sensitivity terms were introduced into the TS Hollomon power-law, allowing to reproduce the dynamic behavior of Inconel 625.","PeriodicalId":15700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88670240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study provides practical guidance for determining interfacial fracture toughness of dental ceramic systems. We address interfacial fracture of a composite resin cement sandwiched between two dental ceramic materials. Emphasis is placed on sandwich disc specimens with cracks originating from elliptical-shaped flaws near the center, for which analytical fracture mechanics methods fail to predict. The interaction integral method is used to provide accurate finite element solutions for cracks with elliptical-shaped flaws in a Brazil-nut-sandwich specimen. The developed model was first validated with existing experimental data and then used to evaluate the three most widely used dental ceramic systems: polycrystalline ceramics (zirconia), glass-ceramics (lithium disilicate), and feldspathic ceramics (porcelain). Contrary to disc specimens with ideal cracks, those with cracks emanating from elliptical-shaped flaws do not exhibit a monotonic increase in interfacial toughness. Also, interfacial fracture toughness is seen to have a direct relationship with the aspect ratio of elliptical-shaped flaws and an inverse relationship with the modulus ratio of the constituents. The presence of an elliptical-shaped flaw significantly changes the interfacial fracture behavior of sandwich structures. Semi-empirical design equations are provided for fracture toughness and stress intensity factors for interfacial cracks. The developed design equations provide practical guidance for determining interfacial fracture toughness of selected dental ceramic material systems. Those equations take into account four critical factors: size of the elliptical flaw, modulus ratio of constituent materials, loading angle, and applied load.</p>","PeriodicalId":15700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8598202/pdf/mats_143_4_041006.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10537889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
