Despite the occurrence of heat introduction and heat-affected zones (HAZ), there are advantages regarding processing speed and maneuverability. Within this work, the influence of two cutting parameters (low (A) and high heat introduction (B)) on the fatigue properties of carbon fiber–reinforced epoxy and polyamide 6 were investigated. At the same time, micro waterjet cut specimens were added as a reference. In doing so, laminates were cut to different specimen widths and orientations. Multiple amplitude tests were performed with strain and temperature measurements. The results show an influence of specimen width on fatigue lifetime for the epoxy system, but not in polyamide 6. The 45° specimens for both CFR-EP and CFR-PA6 showed a decreased lifetime when cut with parameters B. However, these findings do not apply to 0° specimens, since parameters A lead to a smaller lifetime for CFR-EP, and no influence was found for CFR-PA6. Furthermore, no clear HAZ could be identified for A. Since there is a decrease in lifetime for CFR-EP, the necessity of applying further methods for HAZ detection is described.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85365810","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}

It was found that the layering sequences significantly affect the tensile, bending strength, and impact energy. As a result of the tensile tests, the highest tensile strength was obtained in the 3C + 3G combination. The highest load-carrying capacity in three-point bending tests was obtained in the 2G + 2A + 2C combination. The combination with the highest impact energy was 2C + 2G + 2A, and the lowest was 3C + 3G. It has been observed that hybrid composites containing aramid fiber absorb higher impact energy than others.

The relative density, microhardness, and compressive strength of TiZrVMnCu–Er–CNTs composites were in direct proportional to CNTs content from 0 to 0.5 wt%. The composite with 0.5 wt% CNTs has the highest hardness (634.4 HV) and strength (1720.7 MPa), and the strain variable is 14.3 %. The fracture toughness of the composites was improved by the crack bridging mechanism and crack deflection mechanism induced by adding CNTs. The fine grain, second phase strengthening mechanism, and the load transfer mechanism induced by CNTs improved the strength and hardness of the composites.

The strength ratios of the various materials have been found to fluctuate when the raster angles change. The PLA parts created at a picture raster angle of 45° had the maximum tensile strength. ABS material created with a picture raster angle of 45° has been shown to have the best energy absorption, and PLA material made with a raster angle of 45° has the best performance compressive strength. When bending strength was evaluated, it was found that samples of ABS made with a raster angle of 0–90° had the greatest value.

The objective was to assess the potential suitability of AZ91 for permanent prosthesis applications. The coatings were applied in layered and hybrid configurations and characterized using various techniques including X-ray diffractometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectrometry, and drop analyses. The antibacterial properties were evaluated through interactions with Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli strains. Mechanical properties and adhesion were determined via linear scratch tests, and electrochemical corrosion tests were conducted in different media. The release of aluminum ions from the samples in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium was monitored over 28 days. The findings revealed that the amorphous tantalum oxide coating, particularly in combination with hydroxyapatite, improved antibacterial properties and positively influenced corrosion and scratch resistance. The layered and hybrid coatings demonstrated the highest corrosion resistance. The release of aluminum ions remained within acceptable levels in the tested medium. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the potential of sol–gel coatings on AZ91 for prosthetic applications, considering antibacterial behavior, corrosion resistance, and aluminum release.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78924854","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}

Bulge test coupled with a continuous full-field strain measurement was undertaken in order to characterize polymeric film in a biaxial stress state. As far as this study is concerned, a laboratory-made pneumatic bulge test machine was used for the determination of the biaxial behavior of a 50 μm thickness PLSF (modified PLA) film. 3D-digital image correlation (3D-DIC) technique was used in order to compute the strain field continuously during the test. Tensile test was equally performed on the film along its machine direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD). Strain field distribution in the film sample was analyzed and compared in both tests. The tensile test results displayed an isotropic behavior of the film in both directions. However, a difference in the strain at break was noticed because of the thickness instability along the TD. The comparison between uniaxial and biaxial properties resulted in almost the same properties with respect to the Young Modulus as well as the tensile strength.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74933249","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}
