Effect of Ce addition on microstructure, thermal and mechanical properties of Al-Si alloys

Sezgin Cengiz et al.

Summary: The effect of cerium (Ce) content on the microstructure and properties of commercial Al-12Si and Al-12Si-xCe alloys was investigated. Adding Ce resulted in a decrease in the coefficient of thermal expansion and the formation of additional phases. The ultimate tensile strength of the alloy increased with the addition of 2 wt% Ce, but decreased with further addition of Ce.

Novel non-destructive technique for detecting the weld fusion zone using a filler wire of high x-ray contrast

J. Galos et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates a novel method that provides contrast between the Al substrate and weld fusion zone in x-ray images by incorporating a dopant element in the filler wire with a higher x-ray attenuation coefficient. This technique enables the detection of penetration depth and weld throat more accurately than conventional methods.

Thermal stability of aluminum-cerium binary alloys containing the Al-Al11Ce3 eutectic

Frank Czerwinski

Summary: The strength retention of Al-Ce binary alloys at high temperatures was assessed compared to A380 alloy and pure Al. The Al11Ce3 eutectic and proeutectic phases were found to have limited effectiveness in strengthening Al-Ce alloys at room temperature and retaining their strength at increased temperatures. Despite the high hardness retention ratio of Al-Ce alloys, the yield stress decreased with testing temperatures.

Study of Solidification Thermal Analysis, Microstructure and Mechanical Characteristics of A384 Cast Alloy Treated with Rare Earth (Sm, Tb, Ce and La) Elements

Mahmoud Tash et al.

Summary: This article investigates the refining and modification response of cast A384 aluminium alloy induced by the addition of rare earth elements and the impact on microstructural and mechanical performance. It is observed that the added rare earth metals Sm plus Tb to A384 alloy improved the alloy strength and hardness due to their refining and modification effect. Furthermore, enhancement of both wear and corrosion resistance is achieved through the addition of 1.0 wt.% Samarium (Sm) to A384 samples.

Profilometry-Based Inverse Finite Element Method Indentation Plastometry

Trevor William Clyne et al.

Summary: This review examines the current state-of-the-art in extracting the stress-strain relationship of a metallic sample from indentation experiments, utilizing a high load and large spherical indenter. The process involves measuring the indent profile and using it for inverse FEM modeling to obtain the best fit parameter values for a constitutive plasticity law. Commercial products now offer automated operations, but implementing and optimizing these procedures still involve various practical challenges.
