The point of this study was to investigate the mechanical and wear properties of hybrid composites made up of kenaf and carbon fibers mixed into a vinyl ester matrix and different amounts of Al₂O₃ filler added. Laminates were manufactured and assessed for tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, interlaminar shear strength (ILSS), and wear resistance. The results showed that carbon fiber laminates (L2) had the highest tensile strength (523 MPa) because the fibers stuck to the matrix very well. On the other hand, kenaf-based laminates (L1) were better for the environment. The hybrid laminates (L3 and L4) attained a compromise between mechanical performance and environmental sustainability, exhibiting tensile strengths of 456 MPa and 410 MPa, respectively. Adding 5% Al₂O₃ filler to L5 made it 18.5% more resistant to wear, but it also made the ILSS drop by 6.4% and the flexural strength drop by 3.2% compared to hybrid laminates that did not have filler. These results show that kenaf–carbon hybrid composites with Al₂O₃ filler could be used as long-lasting materials for high-tech aerospace and automotive uses, meeting the important need for a balance between performance, durability, and impact on the environment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance","volume":"34 20","pages":"22996 - 23009"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145284314","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 initial CMC sample (ST0) was amorphous SiO₂. The increase of oxidation temperature promotes the crystallization of SiO₂, and after oxidation at 1600 °C, all the SiO₂ was transformed into cristobalite. There was a good bonding between the fibers and the matrix in ST0. As the oxidation temperature increased, the fiber-matrix bonding became stronger and the matrix shrinked more severely, leading to the presence of holes between fiber bundles and a large number of cracks within the fiber bundles. Volume effects due to phase transitions also increase crack generation. After oxidation at 1600 °C, no interface existed. The fibers melted with the matrix, and the fibers failed completely. As the oxidation temperature increased, the density gradually increased, which was attributed to the shrinkage of the matrix. In addition, the phase transition also led to an increase in density. Of course, the porosity gradually decreased. The weight loss rates indicated that the ST0 exhibited high oxidation resistance in different oxidation atmospheres. Initially, the ST0 had ductile fracture and the flexural strength reached 86.4 MPa. As the oxidation temperature increased, the matrix and fibers were damaged, leading to a gradual decrease in the flexural strength of the sample and exhibiting a typical brittle fracture mechanism and microstructure. In order to ensure that the ST0 could be used for a long time in a high-temperature oxidation atmosphere, it was necessary to ensure that no damage occurs to the fibers and the matrix, including the stability of the crystal phase.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance","volume":"34 19","pages":"21920 - 21930"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145236910","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 weld metal solidifies in a single-phase austenitic solidification, with solidification grain boundary and solidification sub-grain boundary observed in fusion zone. The transition zone from 2507 SDSS contains δ-Fe, grain boundary austenite, Widmänstten-type austenite (WA), and intragranular austenite. Mechanical test reveals that the 254SMO-2507 dissimilar joints exhibit higher average tensile strength and hardness compared to 254SMO base metal, though lower than 2507 base metal due to its ferrite content. The joints fracture at the weld zone in the ductile mode with decreased elongation due to the existing WA, but remains suitable for engineering application. In terms of corrosion resistance, the 254SMO-2507 joint shows a slight reduction compared to the base metals but achieves pitting corrosion resistance comparable to the 254SMO SASS base metal. After polarization curves test, pitting corrosion mainly occurred in the 2507 base metal area.

Our approach involved chemically synthesizing TiO₂ particles (4-20 nm) and incorporating them into PVA and PVA/chitosan matrices at varying weight percentages, which affect the amino group. We employed x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for comprehensive characterization, confirming the successful synthesis of TiO₂ particles and the formation of composite coatings. The XRD analysis revealed the rutile phase of TiO₂ particles with an average crystal size conducive to effective reinforcement, while SEM imaging showcased the spherical morphology of TiO₂ particles.

The results demonstrated that inter-laminar shear strength varied significantly depending on the bonding parameters. Notably, the highest inter-laminar shear strength was achieved at 750 °C with a hold time of 2 h. At this temperature, the bond strengths of samples containing Cu and Be-Cu as interlayers were substantially higher than those of High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) steel samples bonded without any interlayer. This finding highlights the potential for bonding HSLA steel at much lower temperatures. Furthermore, HSLA steel bonded at 750 °C with a Be-Cu interlayer exhibited significantly greater shear strength compared to those bonded with a Cu interlayer, thereby establishing the superiority of Be-Cu as an interlayer material over Cu. The use of Be-Cu alloy, with its exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity, high strength, and corrosion resistance, greatly enhanced the effectiveness of diffusion bonding in HSLA steel joints.
