Surface energy contributions to the work of infiltration in metal matrix composite processing

Andreas Mortensen, Gionata Schneider

The work needed to mechanically drive molten metal into a porous solid preform when producing a composite material by infiltration can significantly exceed the energy change required for thermodynamically reversible infiltration. We measure, by quantitativ ...

Infiltration of tin bronze into alumina particle beds: influence of alloy chemistry on drainage curves

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Alain Léger

The wetting of angular alumina particle preforms by Cu-Sn alloys is investigated by means of pressure infiltration experiments conducted at 1150 A degrees C, using a system enabling dynamic and precise measurements of the metal volume injected into the pre ...

Interaction between liquid aluminium and solid iron Al-rich intermetallics formation

Guillaume Pasche

Intermetallic phases formation is one of the phenomena, which when coupled to thermal and mechanical strains leads to the premature wear of aluminium die casting tools made out of steel. This work focuses on two aspects of this wear problem. The first and ...

Material and velocity effects on cavitation erosion pitting

Ayat Karimi

Cavitation erosion during the incubation period was investigated via pitting tests conducted on three different materials: an Aluminum alloy, a Nickel Aluminum Bronze alloy and a Duplex Stainless Steel. Pitting tests were conducted in a cavitation tunnel i ...

Application of spherical nanoindentation to determine the pressure of cavitation impacts from pitting tests

Ayat Karimi, Davide Carnelli

This article focuses on the use of spherical nanoindentation measurements to estimate the pressure of cavitation impacts and its statistical distribution. Indeed, nanoindentation techniques are supposed to represent an effective tool in this field due to t ...

Scaling study of cavitation pitting from cavitating jets and ultrasonic horns

Ayat Karimi

Cavitation erosion prediction and characterization of cavitation field strength are of interest to industries suffering from cavitation erosion detrimental effects. One means to evaluate cavitation fields and materials is to examine pitting rates during th ...

Activation volume in microcellular aluminium: Size effects in thermally activated plastic flow

Andreas Mortensen, Frédéric Diologent

Open-pore 99.99% pure Al and Al-5 wt.% Mg foam produced by replication, with pores either 400 or 75 gm in average diameter, are tested in compression with repeated relaxation cycles, at room temperature. Similar data are collected on pure aluminium. Estima ...

Peritectic solidification of Cu-Sn alloys : microstructure competition at low speed

Frédéric Kohler

Many commercially important alloys such as Fe-C, Fe-Ni, Cu-Zn, Cu-Sn and Ti-Al exhibit peritectic transitions on solidification. In the two-solid phase region of peritectic metallic systems, a wide spectrum of microstructures has been revealed during direc ...

Influence of Ta and Ti Doping on the High Field Performance of (Nb,Ta,Ti)(3)Sn Multifilamentary Wires based on Osprey Bronze with High Tin Content

Davide Uglietti

Ta and Ti are the most widely used additions for technical Nb3Sn multifilamentary superconductors. These elements are known to influence grain growth, grain morphology and chemical composition in the A15 layer, hence the current carrying properties of the ...
