An Assessment of Interfacial Chemistry and Character of Fiber/Polymer Microcomposites
Abstract: AbstractThe interfacial chemistry and character of hygrothermally treated E-glass/epoxy microcomposite have been investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR-imaging), temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimeter (TMDSC) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. The physico-chemical interactions occurring between absorbed water molecules and the network of a tetrafunctional epoxy resin were studied by FTIR-imaging. This is used to study the mechanistic details of epoxy curing on the molecular level. Absorbance peaks of OH stretching …

Effects of Composition on Structure & Mechanical Property of TiAl Based Intermetallic Compounds
Abstract: The effects of Al content and ternary additions such as Mo, V and Si in as cast g based alloys made by plasma arc melting on solidification structures and mechanical properties were studied. The Columnar g /a2 lamellar structures in Al-lean alloys due to primary a solidification had higher room temperature fracture strength and strain than g phase structures through the reaction of L + a = g in Al-rich …

Study on High Strength Ti-Al-V Alloy at Cryogenic Temperature
Abstract: The α+β type high strength titanium alloy is usually used as a structural biomaterial for the manufacturing of orthopaedic prostheses as well as surgical and dental implants. The Ti-Al-V alloy had been deliberately solution treated at 860°C for 1 h (subsequently quenched in variable mediums) just below the β transus but within the α+β region to avoid grain coarsening for single β region as well as accomplish optimum balance properties …

Experimental Investigation of Hardness of FSW Al 5083 Alloy for Naval and Marine Application
Abstract: Friction stir welding (FSW) is a relatively novel method of solid-state joining. This connecting method is adaptable, environmentally benign, and low-energy. The present study focuses on hardness testing on welded butt joints, introducing the Friction Stir Welding procedure on aluminium alloys Al 5083, which are known for their remarkable performance in severe conditions. It is widely used in naval and marine applications due to its excellent resistance to seawater damage. …
