The treatment was conducted at two different current densities, 20 and 30 mA.cm -2 for 10 minutes. The anodized layers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The corrosion resistance was assessed by potentiodynamic polarization tests. The SCC behavior was studied using slow strain rate tests in 0.1 M NaCl solution at room temperature. Conventional tensile tests were also conducted in air. The susceptibility to SCC was dependent on the morphology of the anodized film. The composition of the electrolyte and the current density of the anodization treatment affected the SCC susceptibility of the AZ61 alloy. The best corrosion resistance and the lowest susceptibility to SCC were obtained for samples anodized in the borate-containing electrolyte at 30 mA.cm -2 . The smooth and compact surface morphology of the anodized film obtained in this condition was the main reason for the improved SCC behavior of the AZ61 alloy.","PeriodicalId":18331,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67302142","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}

Therefore, it is essential to predict heterogeneous materials’ mechanical properties by simulating microstructural finite element models. The present article aims to analyze particle reinforced composites composed of spherical alumina inclusions surrounded by a glass matrix using a tridimensional representative volume element. Herein, microstructures are artificially created considering a regular or random arrangement of the inclusions. Two materials systems previously studied in the literature were analyzed. The discretization of the models was performed to have periodic mesh, thus enabling the use of periodic boundary conditions. A finite element model is created using Abaqus software. Numerical results show that the macroscopic properties can be estimated with high accuracy for the temperature where linear matrix behavior stands. The predictions were compared to experimental data from the literature. The models with a regular arrangement of inclusions show a difference inferior to 10%, while random arrangements show a difference inferior to 3.9%. The developed numerical algorithms can be modified to include new features, such as other dispersed phase arrangements or nonlinear material behavior.","PeriodicalId":18331,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67303116","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 present work were evaluated, the tensile mechanical properties of polyester matrix composites loaded with an industrial residue of red mud, with a mass fraction of 20%. The properties were surveyed using the conventional technique of strain gauge and compared with the data obtained through DIC.

Two groups of specimens, one as-built and the other post-cured, were subjected to dimensional inspections, surface characterization, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), hardness measurements, tensile tests, bending tests, Charpy impact tests and the obtained values were reported and benchmarked. It has been observed that the change in the build direction significantly affects the surface roughness and the average surface roughness of the samples produced in the vertical plane is much higher than those produced in the horizontal plane. It was demonstrated that post-curing has a negligible effect on part dimensions and density. It increases hardness, tensile modulus and flexural modulus while reducing elongation and impact resistance. The effects of post-curing on chemical and thermal properties were also compared and it was determined that it improves the thermal stability. In the absence of post-curing, vertical as-built specimens were observed to have higher strength than their horizontal counterparts.","PeriodicalId":18331,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67302211","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 biocomposites were evaluated regarding their thermal and morphological characteristics and molecular dynamic behavior. It was seen that cellulose addition did not promote significant changes in the Tm, Tc and Tcc in the matrix. On the other hand, XRD and TGA revealed that the addition of the highest content (7 wt%) of cellulose fillers resulted in a more significant decrease in crystallinity and thermal stability of the PLA/PHB matrix, suggesting a formation of filler aggregates. This indication was confirmed by TD-NMR, whose results pointed to a greater heterogeneity molecular in the samples containing higher cellulose contents.
