in this paper, the accumulative channel-die compression bounding (accb) method is investigated as a new method of severe plastic deformation to produce nano-crystalline bulk metals on the basis of pressing in a channel mold. aluminum as one of the most usable metal in industry is processed using this method. analyzing the processed samples show that after four passes of accb method, the ultimat...

in this paper, hardness and tensile properties of welded zone of aluminum 1100 alloys by friction stir welding process was investigated and the effects of rotational and traverse speeds of tool on these parameters was studied. also the fracture cross-section of welded samples was investigated. according the results of this paper, the hardness of weld material is higher than base material and is...

Cold-spraying of 1100 Al powder particles onto 1100 Al substrate was accomplished using carrier gases 100 vol.% He and a mixture of He–20 vol.% N2. TEM characterization correlates very well the occurrence of dislocations, presence of oxide, and surface instability phenomenon with observed mechanical and corrosion properties of the cold-sprayed coating. 2005 Acta Materialia Inc.

Transformation of Al(NO3)3∙9H2O (upon heating in the range of 20-1200 °C) into blends of amorphous and crystalline boehmite (210-525 °C), amorphous alumina and crystalline γ-Al2O3 (850 °C), and crystalline α-Al2O3 (1100 °C) was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and low-temperature nitro...

Aluminum nanoparticles are being considered as a possible fuel in advanced energetic materials application. Of considerable interest therefore is a knowledge of just how reactive these materials are, and what the effect of size on reactivity is. In this paper we describe results of size resolved oxidation rate using a recently developed quantitative single particle mass spectrometer (SPMS). Alu...

We report quasi-static compression and impact behavior of aluminum syntactic foams (ASF) produced by melt infiltration. Aluminum syntactic foams with relative density of 0.46 were produced using hollow alumina spheres (4.45 mm and 3.05 mm) randomly situated in a mold and two types of aluminum alloy (1100 and 6061). The impact behavior was investigated using an instrumented drop tower. We invest...

in this work, the thermal reaction of aluminum (al) and nickel oxide (nio) was investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. some effective features of reaction such as reaction temperature, the reaction mechanism, and diffusion rate of oxygen into aluminum structure were studied. reaxff force field was performed to study the al/nio thermite reaction behavior at five different temperatures (5...

Thin alumina films have found applications in electronic circuits and cutting tools and have been recently explored as protective coatings against high temperature oxidation, but these studies have been relatively rare. In this study, amorphous alumina films 3.5 pm thick were produced by reactive sputtering on Co-30Cr-6Al-0.5Y coatings, using a pure aluminum target in Ar + 0 2 atmosphere. Isoth...
