[ 1 ] - On the fabrication and characterization of Al5083/Al2O3 surface nanocomposite via friction stir processing

In the present study, Al5083- Al2O3 nanocomposite was successfully prepared by friction stir processing (FSP) with rotational speed of 710 rpm and travel speed of 14 mm/min. In order to improve distribution of Al2O3 particles, a net of holes were designed on the surface of Al5083 sheet. The samples were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microhardness, tensile and ...

[ 2 ] - Crystallization Kinetics Study in Al87Ni10La3 Amorphous Alloy

In this study, the crystallization behavior of melt-spun Al87Ni10La3 amorphous phase was investigated by using X-ray diffraction and non-isothermal differential thermal analysis techniques. The results demonstrated that the amorphous phase exhibited two-stage crystallization on heating, i.e., at first step the amorphous phase transforms into α-Al phase and at second step Al11La3 and Al3Ni inter...

[ 3 ] - FSP pass number and cooling effects on the microstructure and properties of AZ31

In this study, the effects of passes number and cooling during friction stir processing (FSP) on the microstructure and properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy has been investigated. The process was carried out at tool rotational speed, transverse speed and tool tilt angle of 1100 rpm, 52 mm/min, and 3°, respectively. Cooling was performed by water. The microstructure of FSPed samples was explored b...
