The results showed that Cu addition decreased the average size of primary Mg2Si (Mg2SiP) particles, changed the hopper-like Mg2SiP particles to polyhedrals, and caused the formation of θ-Al2Cu and Q-Al5Mg8Si6Cu2 compounds in the composite matrix. According to the image analysis results, increasing the Cu content from 0.01 to 5 wt% halved the average size of Mg2SiP particles, increased their fraction by about 40 %, and increased the composite porosity content. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that adding 5 wt% of Cu resulted in an increase of about 3.7 times in the corrosion resistance as compared to Al–15Mg2Si composite. The beneficial effects of Cu were also confirmed by the potentiodynamic polarization experiments. Cu addition seems to promote less intense general corrosion than the base alloy’s localized attack.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82248356","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 microstructure and phases of the coatings were analyzed by OM, SEM, EDS and XRD. The hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coatings were tested by microhardness tester, friction and wear tester and electrochemical workstation. The results show that the highest hardness is obtained in the CoFeMoNiAlCr x=0 high entropy alloy coatings, about 500 HV, which is about 3 times than the hardness of Q235 steel (the substrate). With the chromium content of the CoFeMoNiAlCr x coatings increasing, the wear resistance increases first, and then decreases. When the chromium content is 0.9, the wear resistance of the coating is the highest with the wear loss about 2.6 mg and the friction coefficient about 0.52. The corrosion resistance of the coatings decreases with a small amount of chromium addition. When the Cr content in the coating is close to the atomic ratio, the content of the body-centered cubic phase structure increases, and the face-centered cubic phase structure appears in the coating.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86670075","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}

Small size square mosaic ceramic as the basic raw material for the creation of large exterior mosaic art, it directly affects the quality of the work created by the artist, so these ceramic mosaic ceramic materials need to undergo rigorous inspection to meet the needs of the artist’s high-quality art creation. However, small size multi-color square mosaic ceramics are different from ordinary large target ceramics, they have the characteristics of small size and easy reflection, currently mainly using manual inspection, the existing automatic inspection methods have the problem of low efficiency and accuracy, cannot meet the needs of artists for the quantity and quality of mosaic ceramics. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a new convolutional network-based fast nondestructive testing method for detecting square mosaic tiles. The detection method is based on the convolutional neural network YOLOv5s model, and by introducing the AF-FPN module and the data enhancement module, the method further improves the recognition performance of the model relative to the original YOLOv5s model and achieves the fast detection of surface defects on square mosaic ceramics. The experimental results show that the detection method for small size multicolor square mosaic ceramic tile surface minor defects detection rate of up to 94 % or more, a single square mosaic ceramic detection time of 0.41 s. The method takes into account the detection accuracy and speed, can be fast and accurate screening of high-quality, defect-free small size multicolor square mosaic ceramic, to meet the artist’s requirements for high-quality mosaic ceramic raw materials Quality and quantity requirements, to ensure the quality of the creation of mosaic art patterns, to better show the charm of the mosaic art patterns role. At the same time, the method can not only be applied to the detection of mosaic ceramics, the method can also be applied to have a similar small volume, easy to reflect the characteristics of small target object defect detection.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"240 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80455149","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}

Low-velocity impact tests were run on sandwich structures with these three different cell geometries and the effect of cell shape on impact strength was determined. Although the maximum contact force of the square structure under impact load was smaller than the maximum contact force of the triangular and rectangular specimens, the specific contact force was 15.52 % greater than the triangular specimen and 16.29 % greater than the rectangular specimen. Then, the specimens with square, egg box and lattice core types were manufactured and compression tests were performed. The specific peak load value for square specimens was 33.2 % greater than that of egg box specimens and 78.1 % greater than that of lattice specimens.

Due to the multiple production processes, failure of the honeycomb sandwich composite usually occurs. This would affect the working stability of mechanical components made mainly of the honeycomb structural materials. In the present work, collapse failure of the honeycomb sandwich composite in an aircraft radome was investigated. The observation and analysis results show that the failure mode of the honeycomb structure is compression instability failure. There are a lot of pore defects in some local bonding areas of the honeycomb structure, forming a weak bonding area. In the process of curing and pressurization, debonding occurs at the adjacent honeycomb cells near the weak bonding area, forming a cracking band and resulting in the decrease of the stiffness and the instability failure under pressure. The work would provide reference information for the application of honeycomb sandwich composites in mechanical equipment.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87116152","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 obtained surface layers have been characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to examine the growth front with a typical saw-toothed morphology. The crystalline nature of boride phase has been verified by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The calculation results arising from the two models led to the similar boron activation energy in Fe2B equal to 196.19 kJ mol−1. Additionally, both models were checked out empirically by selecting three extra boronizing conditions obtained at 1273 K for increasing times (2.5, 4.5 and 8.5 h).

The workpiece used in this study, Vanadis 10 SuperClean, is a high vanadium alloyed powder metallurgy tool steel offering a unique combination of excellent abrasive wear resistance in combination with a good chipping resistance. The present study investigated the effects of dry, cryo, and CryoMQL cutting conditions on cutting tool vibration amplitude, cutting temperature, surface roughness, tool wear, and tool life in turning of Vanadis 10 tool steel used in the automotive industry. The experiments were performed using TiCN/Al2O3/TiN coated cemented carbide tools and cutting parameters as the constant depth of cut (1 mm), feed rates (0.08, 0.1, 0.12 mm rev−1), and cutting speeds (80, 100, 120 m min−1). The results obtained from experiments showed that spraying liquid nitrogen into the cutting zone provided significant improvements on cutting temperature, tool wear, cutting tool vibration amplitude, and surface roughness. The best results in terms of all output were achieved in the CryoMQL cutting environment. CryoMQL environment has reduced surface roughness up to 65.03 %, flank wear 56.99 %, cutting temperature 32.77 %, and cutting tool vibration amplitude up to 42.76 % compared to dry machining.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79141330","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}

As a result, increasing applied potentials provide a reduction of fracture strains together with an initial increase in volume of released hydrogen gas. The fracture surfaces exhibit increasing brittle appearance, as found in hydrogen cracking failures. The results confirm that during local anodic corrosion, hydrogen is produced that provokes hydrogen induced cracking following anodic dissolution. Respective local pH measurements under varying applied electric potentials, show the acidification of the pit-electrolyte. Additional model calculations elucidate the stepwise local anodic corrosion and its acidification process together with the hydrogen supported cracking. The model shows that the relative amount of hydrogen cracking will depend on the provided material data as well as on solution properties such as pH, chloride level, temperature and oxygen content. As an all over result, together with the model calculations, the experimental evidence of hydrogen evolution during anodic local corrosion confirms the contribution of hydrogen cracking to anodic stress corrosion cracking.","PeriodicalId":18231,"journal":{"name":"Materials Testing","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82090291","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}

In this work, a new calibration method is proposed to avoid the above-mentioned metrological limitations: The generalized least squares by Lagrange multipliers method. This methodology accepts correlated input quantities or with different accuracy through the input covariance matrix, and it provides, through a least-squares adjustment, the estimates of the quantities to be measured and their associated standard uncertainties. The application of the method shows coherent results and it also provides a chi-square value that can be used to test the consistency of the measurement model, and the normalized deviations between the input estimates and their fitted values, which are a tool to identify potential outliers.
