Comparison of dynamic mechanical properties of non-superheated and superheated A357 alloys

The influence of superheat treatment on the microstructure and dynamic mechanical properties of A357 alloys has been investigated. The study of microstructure was performed by the optical microscope. Dynamic mechanical properties (storage modulus, loss modulus, and damping capacity) were measured by the dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). Microstructure showed coarser and angular eutectic Si particles with larger α-Al dendrites in the non-superheated A357 alloy. In contrast, finer and rounded eutectic Si particles together with smaller and preferred oriented α-Al dendrites have been observed in the superheated A357 alloy. Dynamic mechanical properties showed an increasing trend of loss modulus and damping capacity meanwhile a decreasing trend of storage modulus at elevated temperatures for superheated and non-superheated A357 alloys. The high damping capacity of superheated A357 has been ascribed to the grain boundary damping at elevated temperatures.

Development and properties of composite cement reinforced coconut fiber with the addition of fly ash

In this paper, the effectiveness utilization of agriculture wastes and industrial wastes in the composites cement has been studied in terms of physical and mechanical properties. Twenty weight percent of fly ash and eighty weight percent of sand were added to the composite cement. The different weight percent of coconut fiber (3 wt. %, 6 wt. %, 9 wt. %, 12 wt. % and 15 wt. %) was added in the composition as reinforcement for cement composites. Water to cement ratio ranging from 0.55 to 0.70 was added into the cement composites accordingly to maintain its workability. Then the cement composites were cured in water for 7, 14 and 28 days respectively. Results for physical properties (density, moisture content, water absorption) and mechanical properties (compressive strength, modulus of rupture) are presented.

The Effects of Rolling Deformation and Annealing Treatment on Damping Capacity of 1200 Aluminium Alloy

Annealing treatment is an important step of rolling deformation that contributes to microstructural evolution and leads to the significant changes in damping capacity. Damping capacities were analyzed in the parallel to rolling direction at 1 and 10 Hz respectively. It was found that severe plastic deformation at 40 percent reduction has lower damping capacity compared to that of 30 percent and 20 percent reductions respectively. The microstructural results show that the grains of as rolled alloys were changed to almost equiaxed structures after a rolling reduction at 40 percent reduction.
