machined and extruded. 1.2 Alloy: An alloy is a material formed by two or more chemical elements that has metallic properties, in which at least one is a metal. Alloys are designed and produced to have some desirable characteristics like formability, strength and corrosion resistance. Chemical composition of metallic atoms dominate and metallic bond in its crystal structure. Elements commonly alloyed aluminium are copper manganese,
LITERATURE REVIEW 3.1 Introduction The Al-Zn-Mg series aluminium alloys (7xxx) are the heat treatable alloys and widely applied as large structural components in navigation and transportation facilities, due to good combination of hardness, high strength and fracture toughness [1-6]. The use of Sc (scandium) to achieve grain refinement has recently received great attention. The microstructures and properties of aluminium alloys are strongly affected by adding small quantities of scandium. Scandium
addition on grain refinement in cast magnesium alloys. 1. Introduction: Magnesium is 30% lighter than aluminum and possesses excellent mechanical properties. It has higher weight to strength ratio, damping capacity, dimensional stability, impact and dent resistance when compared to aluminum alloys or steel alloys. These properties have increased the usage of magnesium alloys in the automotive and aerospace industry for weight reduction. But magnesium alloys are often associated with some limitations
There are various materials which can be used on aircrafts. Composite and alloy materials are the primary component used due to the ability to combine certain materials with different strengths together to create a composite or alloy. These have ultimate properties that are needed to create an aircraft to be used safely in application. Composites are used due to the extreme high strength to weight ratio, although using large amounts of metals can be strong, unlike composites this would be too heavy

Maraging steels of different compositions have been prepared by means of induction furnace electro slag remelting technique using titanium and chromium instead of cobalt which is a high expensive strategic element, also nickel content was reduced to 10-13%. Mass attenuation coefficients, half value layers and effective atomic numbers have been determined for the prepared samples at photon energies 238, 583, 661, 911, 1173, 1332 and 2614keV. The results are compared with the corresponding theoretical
before? If you have, I’m sure you have seen those fancy gold-colored instruments or fancy door knobs or faucets from the home improvement store. Have you ever wondered what they are made up of? They are made up with the binary alloy called brass. Brass is a binary alloy made up of copper and zinc with an additional amount of lead and tin(Brass in Focus, Angela Vessey,2004). Its density is known as 8.3 to 8.7 g/cm3, and melting point is 1652 to 1724 °F(Bell,2017). The characteristics of the brass
Context This Extended Response Task (ERT) will explore the chemistry involved in alloys, where comparisons on composition and melting points will be explored. Furthermore, principles of metallic bonding and electrostatic forces will be investigated to draw conclusion about changes in melting point over various compositions. Along with this, the structure of interstitial and substitutional alloys will be considered, providing insight into the main component of many industrial products. Also, the chemistry
characteristics along with mediocre mechanical strengths, therefore usually is not a choice of soldering materials with gold. However, above mentioned characteristics could be ameliorated by the incorporation of alloying elements like: Sn, Pb, Ag, or Bi. Alloy addition effectuates formation of eutectic phase(s) rendering certain practical benefits. Primarily, the alloying causes formation of multiphase microstructure, which improves
towards the Ti64 layer, as seen in Figure 1. FeTi intermetallics are commonly form during traditional fusion welding, as well as diffusion bonding of Ti based and Fe based alloy [1-5]. Microstructure along the interface seen in the current study was similar to that obtained by diffusion bonding of micro duplex steel to Ti64 alloy by Orhan et al. [30]. A crack is visible in the figure, which is representative of the entire bonded region. We hypothesize that cracking occurred due to residual stresses
