Stir casting is an economical method to produce aluminum matrix composites. In the present work, composites of aluminum alloy AA6061 reinforced with various amounts (0, 5, 10 and 15 wt.%) of TiC particles were prepared by stir casting technique. X-ray diffraction patterns of the prepared composites clearly revealed the incorporation of TiC particles without the presence of any other compounds. The microstructures of the composites were studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy. It was observed that the TiC particles distributed all over the composite and properly bonded to the matrix alloy. Local clusters of TiC particles were also seen in a few places. The result shows that the reinforcement of TiC particles enhances the microhardness, ultimate tensile strength and wear resistance of the composite. The details of fracture morphology, worn surface, and wear debris are also presented in this paper. K e y w o r d s: metal matrix composites, stir casting, microstructure, mechanical properties

In this paper thermal oxidation and electrochemical anodizing processes were used to produce titanium oxide films on titanium alloy and to examine the effects of oxidation on mechanical and corrosion properties. The surface morphology oxide films, thickness and chemical composition of the surfaces were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The microhardness of titanium oxide films prepared at different experimental conditions is maintained between 8, 2 GPa and 9, 6 GPa, measured by ultra micro hardness tester. The microhardness increased with temperature and voltage. The values of roughness parameters Rz, Rt and Ra indicate a somewhat less roughness of the anodized samples. The values of the roughness parameter Rk are nearly identical for both groups of samples. The cyclic polarization tests showed that none of the tested samples were susceptible to localized corrosion. The oxide films produced by anodic oxidation on titanium alloy showed a higher corrosion resistance than the ones produced by thermal oxidation.

This paper aims to investigate the abrasive wear behavior of the sol-gel coated B4C particulate reinforced aluminum metal matrix composite. Sliding wear is related to asperity-to-asperity contact of two counter surfaces, which are in relative motion against each other. The effective wear from the specimen surface is due to the combined effect of a number of factors. An increase in the applied load leads to increase in penetration of hard asperities of the counter surface to the softer pin surface, increase in micro cracking tendency of the subsurface and also increase in the deformation and fracture of asperities of the softer surface. In general, composites offer superior wear resistance as compared to the alloy irrespective of applied load and B4C particles volume fraction. This is primarily due to the presence of the hard dispersoid which protects the matrix from severe contact with the counter surfaces, and thus results in less wear, lower coefficient friction and temperature rise in composite as compared to that in the alloy. The worn surfaces of all specimens were covered with grooves parallel to the sliding direction and some plastic deformations. These grooves are typical features associated with abrasive wear, in which hard asperities on the steel counter face or hard particles between the pin and disc, plough or cut into the pin cause wear by the removal of the material. Plastic deformation, material smearing, cavities and craters imply adhesive wear. K e y w o r d s: dry sliding, adhesive, mechanically mixed layer

1-(2,4-Dimethylphenyl)-5-amino-1H-tetrazole (DAT) nanoparticles were synthesized, and its inhibiting action on the corrosion of Aluminum AA1005 alloy (Al) in sulfuric acid was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Inhibition efficiency increases as inhibitor concentration increases. A good correlation was observed between the potentiodynamic studies and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with electrochemical noise measurements. Hence, it seems that the electrochemical noise (EN) method can be applied as a complementary quantitative technique to study the corrosion behavior of inhibitors. The effect of inhibitor concentration on the interpretation of noise resistance and spectral noise impedance was evaluated. Furthermore, quantum chemical calculations were employed to provide further insight into the mechanism of inhibition by DAT. It was shown that the adsorption of inhibitors on the AA1005 surface takes place through both physical and chemical adsorption. The best fit to the experimental data was obtained using Langmuir adsorption isotherm. K e y w o r d s: aluminum, polarization, impedance, electrochemical noise, adsorption, nanostructure

In this study, AISI 430/AISI 1040 steel couple 10 mm thick were welded in the butt position without any pre-treatment using keyhole plasma transferred arc (KPTA) process. Welded joints were manufactured selecting constant welding speed (0.01 mmin−1) and two different nozzle orifice diameters (2.4 and 3.2 mm), three different welding currents (130, 135 and 140 A), at a constant plasma gas flow (1.2 l min−1), a shielding gas flow (25 l min−1). The microstructural changes that occurred in the interface regions of the welded samples were examined by microhardness, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). In order to determine mechanical properties of samples, the V-notch Charpy tests were performed. In addition, fracture types in the notch impact strength tests of samples were determined from the fractographic examinations using SEM.
