A Study on the Effect of Ultrasonic Treatment on the Microstructure of Sn-30 wt.% Bi Alloy.

ABSTRACT: The effect of ultrasonic treatment on the microstructure of Sn-30 wt.% Bi alloy was studied at different temperatures. Results showed that the ultrasonic treatment could effectively refine the microstructure of Sn-30 wt.% Bi alloy at a temperature range between the liquidus and solidus. Application of the ultrasound could fragment the primary Sn dendrites during solidification due to a mixed effect of ultrasonic cavitation and acoustic streaming. The divorced eutectic formed when the ultrasonic treatment was applied for the whole duration of the solidification. The eutectic phase grew and surrounded the primary Sn dendrite, and pure Bi phase grew in between the Sn dendritic fragments. The mechanism of the fragmentation of dendrites and the divorced eutectic structure by ultrasonic treatment was discussed.

Effect of Sn Content on the Microstructure, Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Behavior of Biodegradable Mg⁻x (1, 3 and 5 wt.%) Sn⁻1Zn⁻0.5Ca Alloys.

Project description:The microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of hot⁻rolled Mg⁻xSn⁻1Zn⁻0.5Ca (x = 1, 3 and 5 wt.%) alloys were investigated for possible application as biodegradable implants. The hot⁻rolled Mg⁻xSn⁻1Zn⁻0.5Ca alloys consisted of α-Mg matrix and Mg₂Sn phase. The number of the Mg₂Sn particles significantly increased and the grains were gradually refined (14.2 ± 1.5, ~10.7 ± 0.7 and ~6.6 ± 1.1 μm), while the recrystallized fraction significantly decreased with the increase in the Sn content, the Mg⁻1Sn⁻1Zn⁻0.5Ca alloy was almost completely recrystallized. Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and tensile yield strength (TYS) increased slightly, reaching maximum values of 247 MPa and 116 MPa, respectively, for the Mg⁻5Sn⁻1Zn⁻0.5Ca alloy, and the elongation decreased with the increase in the Sn content; the Mg⁻1Sn⁻1Zn⁻0.5Ca alloy showed the highest elongation (15.3%). In addition, immersion tests and electrochemical measurements in Hank's solution revealed that the corrosion rates of Mg⁻xSn⁻1Zn⁻0.5Ca alloys increased with the increase in the Sn content. A model of the corrosion behavior was discussed for hot⁻rolled Mg⁻xSn⁻1Zn⁻0.5Ca alloys in Hank's solution. Among the Mg⁻xSn⁻1Zn⁻0.5Ca (x = 1, 3 and 5 wt.%) alloys, Mg⁻1Sn⁻1Zn⁻0.5Ca alloy exhibits optimal corrosion resistance and appropriate mechanical properties.

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of an Ultrasonic Spot Welded Aluminum Alloy: The Effect of Welding Energy.

Project description:The aim of this study is to evaluate the microstructures, tensile lap shear strength, and fatigue resistance of 6022-T43 aluminum alloy joints welded via a solid-state welding technique-ultrasonic spot welding (USW)-at different energy levels. An ultra-fine necklace-like equiaxed grain structure is observed along the weld line due to the occurrence of dynamic crystallization, with smaller grain sizes at lower levels of welding energy. The tensile lap shear strength, failure energy, and critical stress intensity of the welded joints first increase, reach their maximum values, and then decrease with increasing welding energy. The tensile lap shear failure mode changes from interfacial fracture at lower energy levels, to nugget pull-out at intermediate optimal energy levels, and to transverse through-thickness (TTT) crack growth at higher energy levels. The fatigue life is longer for the joints welded at an energy of 1400 J than 2000 J at higher cyclic loading levels. The fatigue failure mode changes from nugget pull-out to TTT crack growth with decreasing cyclic loading for the joints welded at 1400 J, while TTT crack growth mode remains at all cyclic loading levels for the joints welded at 2000 J. Fatigue crack basically initiates from the nugget edge, and propagates with "river-flow" patterns and characteristic fatigue striations.

Effect of Samarium on the Microstructure and Corrosion Resistance of AZ91 Magnesium Alloy Treated by Ultrasonic Vibration.

Project description:The effects of samarium (Sm) on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of AZ91 magnesium alloy treated by ultrasonic vibration were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and electrochemical measurements. The results showed that the addition of Sm resulted in the formation of Al?Sm, which reduced the volume fraction of the ?-Mg17Al12 phase and changed its morphology to fine granular. The AZ91?Sm alloys treated by ultrasonic vibration revealed relatively lower weight loss, hydrogen evolution, and corrosion current density values compared to the ultrasonic-treated AZ91 alloy prepared without Sm. Locally, a coarse ? phase in the ultrasonic-treated AZ91 alloy accelerated the possibility of micro-galvanic corrosion growing into the matrix. In the prepared AZ91?Sm alloys treated by ultrasonic vibration, the fine ? and Al?Sm phases reduced the probability of micro-galvanic corrosion growth and, therefore, formed a uniform corrosion layer on the surface of the alloys.

Diffusionless (chemically partitionless) crystallization and subsequent decomposition of supersaturated solid solutions in Sn-Bi eutectic alloy.

Project description:Results of a study on microstructural evolution of eutectic Sn-57 wt.% Bi processed with cooling rates of 10-2, 1 K s-1 and approximately 105 K s-1 are presented. In order to distinguish different mechanisms of microstructure formation, a comparison with microstructures of different hypoeutectic alloys with compositions down to below the maximum solubility of Bi in Sn-Bi is undertaken. It is found that at the cooling rates of 10-2 and 1 K s-1, coupled eutectic growth occurs, leading to lamellar structures with different length scales. At the rapid quenching rates of approximately 105 K s-1, structure formation in the eutectic alloy is qualitatively different. Partitionless solidification resulting in a supersaturated solid solution with the initial composition is observed in both eutectic and hypoeutectic alloys. It is shown that the observed microstructure of the rapidly solidified alloys forms by the decomposition of the supersaturated solid solution. This article is part of the theme issue 'Heterogeneous materials: metastable and non-ergodic internal structures'.

Impact of Bi and Sn on Microstructure and Corrosion Resistance of Zinc Coatings Obtained in Zn-AlNi Bath.

Project description:The paper presents results of studies on the impact of bismuth and tin additions to the Zn-AlNi bath on microstructure and corrosion resistance of hot dip galvanizig coatings. The structure at high magnifications on the top surface and cross-section of coatings received in the Zn-AlNiBiSn bath was revealed and the microanalysis EDS (energy dispersion spectroscopy) of chemical composition was determined. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was tested relatively in a neutral salt spray test (NSS), and tests in a humid atmosphere containing SO2. Electrochemical parameters of coatings corrosion were determined. It was found that Zn-AlNiBiSn coatings show lower corrosion resistance in comparison with the coatings received in the Zn-AlNi bath without Sn and Bi alloying additions. Structural research has shown the existence of precipitations of Sn-Bi alloy in the coating. It was found that Sn-Bi precipitations have more electropositive potential in relation to zinc, which promotes the formation of additional corrosion cells.

Effect of FeCoNiCrCu<sub>0.5</sub> High-entropy-alloy Substrate on Sn Grain Size in Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu Solder.

Project description:High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are well known for their excellent high-temperature stability, mechanical properties, and promising resistance against oxidation and corrosion. However, their low-temperature applications are rarely studied, particularly in electronic packaging. In this study, the interfacial reaction between a Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder and FeCoNiCrCu0.5 HEA substrate was investigated. (Cu0.76, Ni0.24)6Sn5 intermetallic compound was formed the substrate at the interface between the solder and the FeCoNiCrCu0.5 HEA substrate. The average Sn grain size on the HEA substrate was 246 ?m, which was considerably larger than that on a pure Cu substrate. The effect of the substrate on Sn grain size is due to the free energy required for the heterogeneous nucleation of Sn on the FeCoNiCrCu0.5 substrate.

Effect of Microstructure on the Corrosion Resistance of TIG Welded 1579 Alloy.

Project description:The paper studies microstructure, chemical composition and corrosion activity of the tungsten inert gas welded joint of the Al-Mg-Sc alloy. An intensive corrosion attack of the heat affected zone (HAZ) was found due to precipitation of secondary phases at recrystallized grain boundaries. The ccorrosion process initiated along the boundary of α-Al grains, where a high concentration of anodic (Mg2Si and Mg2Al3) and cathodic phases ((MnFe)Al6) was observed. Increased temperatures during welding led to coalescence of the anodic phases in HAZ. Additionally, HAZ was found to be enriched with hard intermetallic compounds (Mg2Si and (MnFe)Al6). This area had a higher microhardness (930 MPa) compared to base metal (BM, 895 MPa) and fusion zone (FZ, 810 MPa). The volume fraction of secondary phases was 26% in BM, 28% in FZ and 38% in HAZ. The average grain size increased in the following order: (9 ± 3) µm (BM) < (16 ± 3) µm (HAZ) < (21 ± 5) µm (FZ). A plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coating of aluminum-based material was applied to protect the weld from oxidation. The PEO-coating provided a high corrosion protection in the aggressive Cl--containing environment.

On oscillatory microstructure during cellular growth of directionally solidified Sn-36at.%Ni peritectic alloy.

Project description:An oscillatory microstructure has been observed during deep-cellular growth of directionally solidified Sn-36at.%Ni hyperperitectic alloy containing intermetallic compounds with narrow solubility range. This oscillatory microstructure with a dimension of tens of micrometers has been observed for the first time. The morphology of this wave-like oscillatory structure is similar to secondary dendrite arms, and can be observed only in some local positions of the sample. Through analysis such as successive sectioning of the sample, it can be concluded that this oscillatory microstructure is caused by oscillatory convection of the mushy zone during solidification. And the influence of convection on this oscillatory microstructure was characterized through comparison between experimental and calculations results on the wavelength. Besides, the change in morphology of this oscillatory microstructure has been proved to be caused by peritectic transformation during solidification. Furthermore, the melt concentration increases continuously during solidification of intermetallic compounds with narrow solubility range, which helps formation of this oscillatory microstructure.

Experimental Study on Ultrasonic-Assisted End Milling Forces in 2195 Aluminum-Lithium Alloy.

Project description:To achieve high-quality machining of the 2195 aluminum-lithium alloy, this paper presents an experimental study on the effect of milling processing parameters on milling forces and surface topography, during which conventional milling and longitudinal-torsional ultrasonic vibration milling of the 2195 Al-Li alloy were performed. The characterization of the tool tip trajectory illustrates some of the advantages of ultrasonic machining, which include variable depth of cut and tool chip pulling. The differences in milling forces between conventional milling and longitudinal-torsional ultrasonic vibration machining were compared using orthogonal tests, and the effect of ultrasonic vibration on milling forces was investigated in detail. The maximum reduction of milling force Fy in the feed direction under the influence of torsional vibration is 62% and 54% for larger feed per tooth and cutting depth, respectively. The high-frequency impact generated by the longitudinal vibration not only reduces the chip accumulation on the surface, but also smooths out the tool-tooth scratches and creates a regular surface profile. In addition, the characteristics of the milling force signals of the two machining methods were analyzed, and the analysis of the spectrum of the collected milling forces revealed that the ultrasonic vibration caused the high-frequency components of the milling forces Fy and Fz. The orthogonal result analysis and single-factor result analysis verified the superiority of ultrasonic machining, provided parameter selection for subsequent aluminum-lithium alloy machining, and bridged the gap of longitudinal torsional ultrasonic vibration machining of 2195 aluminum-lithium alloy in the study of milling force.

Atmospheric Pressure Catalytic Vapor Deposition of Graphene on Liquid Sn and Cu-Sn Alloy Substrates.

Project description:The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of graphene on liquid substrates produces high quality graphene films due to the defect-free and atomically flat surfaces of the liquids. Through the detailed study of graphene growth on liquid Sn using atmospheric pressure CVD (APCVD), the quality of graphene has been found to have a close relationship with hydrogen flow rate that reflects on hydrogen partial pressure inside the reactor (PH2) and hydrogen solubility of the growth substrates. The role of PH2 was found to be crucial, with a low defect density monolayer graphene being obtained in low PH2 (90.4 mbar), while partial graphene coverage occurred at high PH2 (137.3 mbar). To further understand the role of substrate's composition, binary alloy with compositions of 20, 30, 50, 60 and 80 wt.% tin in copper were made by arc-melting. Graphene quality was found to decrease with increasing the content of copper in the Cu-Sn alloys when grown using the conditions optimised for Sn substrates and this was related to the change in hydrogen solubility and the high catalytic activity of Cu compared to Sn. This shall provide a tool to help optimising CVD conditions for graphene growth based on the properties of the used catalytic substrate.
