The produced particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Then, alumina matrix composites containing 15 wt.% of ceria were densified under 80 MPa pressure at different temperatures by spark plasma sintering process. X-ray diffraction results showed that the powder produced before heat treatment has an amorphous structure, while alumina and ceria phases are formed after calcination at 800 °C. The produced particles have an average particle size of 250 nm. The effect of sintering temperature on the density of samples, grain size, and hardness of composites was investigated. The samples were densified at about 1400 °C, reaching a density of about 97% of the theoretical density. The microstructure analysis revealed that the composite grains have grown with increasing sintering temperature. The results declared that increasing the temperature and pressure in the sintering process enhances the density of the samples. The Vickers hardness of the composites increased with increasing sintering temperature, as the composite samples sintered at 1400 °C for 20 minutes at a pressure of 80 MPa had the highest Vickers hardness of about 15.3 GPa.","PeriodicalId":30992,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Materials in Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135533227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used. The results showed a distribution of different carbide deposits in the microstructure of the coating metals. The deposits were complexs of the carbides of chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium. The results of the XRD demostrated the presence of martensite, austenite, chromium carbide, and molybdenum carbide phases in all three coating metals. Tungsten carbide (W2C) was observed only in the AMA1623v sample. The results of the Tafel polarization test showed that the bare and the 1622v samples had the highest corrosion current density (15.23 µA/cm2 and 7.06 µA/cm2, rspectively) among the under-studied samples, and therefore had the highest corrosion rate and the lowest corrosion resistance. Also, the results of the test showed that the corrosion current density of the 1600v sample (6.29 µA/cm2) was higher than that obtained for the 1623v sample (4.80 µA/cm2), which revealed the lower corrosion resistance of the 1600v sample. In addition, according to the results of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis, the highest charge transfer resistance and coating resistance with the values of 6.3 kOhm.cm2 and 68.5 Ohm.cm2, respectively, belonged to the 1623v sample, which was also proven by the polarization test.

The weight ratio of ball to powder and the rotation speed was adjusted at 1:10 and 250 rpm, respectively. After the milling process, a hot press was used to produce the samples.

Camouflage has long been used to reduce the possibility of detection of military structures and equipment. Development of knowledge in the field of tracking and discovering military structures and equipment followed by the necessity of using the concealment in order to reduce vulnerability in war, has enhanced the importance of using new camouflage and radar evasion methods. The use of nanotechnology in the field of radar evasion of military facilities was developed by introducing graphene as a very strong absorber of electromagnetic waves. Graphene coating on the military installations causes the absorption of electromagnetic waves and as a result, these installations are not detected by the enemy's radar. Referring to the fact that there is a functional relationship between the diameter of the graphene oxide used and the radar evasion of the equipment, an attempt has been made in this article for the first time to find a solution to control and monitor the radar evasion quality using graphene oxide (with the scientific name of RGO/NiFe2O4) in the microwave spectrum of 7GHZ by the profile approach and presentation of a regression relationship. This model can be used to monitor the quality of radar evasion products (cheaper and faster than existing methods). Finally, sensitivity analysis of the model showed that the ability to detect non-conformity in the manufactured products can be detected quickly (between 1 and 20 samples) with the change in the parameters of the regression model.","PeriodicalId":30992,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Materials in Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135533222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the obtained results, nickel coating with a higher contact angle of 172.3° delays the freezing of the droplet on the surface by 6 min more than the cobalt coating with a lower contact angle of 155.6°. The surface energies of both coatings were low enough to benefit from oleophobicity and for glycerol and ethylene glycol, both coatings had water contact angles higher than 120°. When the open circuit potentials were atablized in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, very high charge transfer resistances of 2370 and 756.3 kΩ.cm 2 were recorded for nickel and cobalt coatings, respectively. After 16 days of immersion in saline solution, the contact angles were still in the hydrophobic range (128.7° and 98.6° for nickel and cobalt coatings, respectively).
