Summary: This study successfully prepared laminated particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (LPRAMCs) using a combination of cold spraying and accumulative roll bonding techniques. The research investigated the effects of Al2O3 particle content on the microstructure, tensile properties, and fracture morphology of the composites. The findings showed that composites with lower Al2O3 particle content exhibited higher elongation but lower ultimate tensile strength during the accumulative roll bonding process.

Summary: Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) was used to fabricate aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) with 2 vol% Al2O3 particles. The evolution of matrix microstructure and particle spatial distribution was studied by measuring different variables. It was found that the composites had significantly refined grains and improved particle spatial uniformity after ARB cycles. The final composites showed higher strength but lower elongation compared to the monolithic sheets.

Summary: The effects of repeated accumulative roll bonding (ARB) cycles on the reinforcement phase features, matrix microstructure, and composite tensile behavior evolution were investigated. The results showed that with increasing ARB cycles, the reinforcement particles decohered and their distribution uniformity improved. Meanwhile, the matrix microstructure evolved, leading to improved mechanical properties of the composite. However, all parameters saturated at higher ARB cycles, suggesting the limitation of further cycles in strengthening composites.

Summary: In this study, an Al/Cu/Sn/Ni multi-layer composite was produced using a two-step process and its macro/microstructure was investigated. The two-step process resulted in a uniform distribution of Ni, Cu, and Sn reinforcement layers in the Al matrix after six cycles. Intermetallic compounds were also formed at the interfaces, and recrystallization and grain growth occurred during certain cycles.

Summary: In this study, the fatigue and cyclic deformation behavior of ultrafine-grained pure aluminum AA1100 product by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process under stress-controlled in the presence of mean stress were investigated. The tensile properties of the material were improved due to grain refinement caused by severe strain imposed during seven cycles of the ARB process. The fatigue life was found to depend greatly on the ARB cycle, showing an increase with the increasing cycle. TEM observations revealed the microstructural evolution induced by fatigue, with dense dislocation patterns recovering and transforming during cyclic deformation.

Summary: The effect of unidirectional accumulative roll bonding (UARB) and rotational ARB (RARB) on the microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties of AA1050 sheets was investigated. It was found that RARB processing can significantly reduce the grain size and suppress the evolution of low-angle grain boundaries to high-angle ones. Additionally, RARB processing introduced additional texture components.

Summary: Black phosphorus (BP) with a layered structure has been used as a lubrication additive, with BP nanosheets showing excellent lubrication performance in water-based lubrication additives. However, the tribological properties of BP-WL reduce gradually with increasing load due to nanosheet agglomeration. The friction reduction is primarily attributed to low interlaminar shear and adsorption of BP nanosheets, with a tribochemical reaction film effectively protecting the surface of titanium alloy/steel from wear.

Summary: Friction stir processing was used to improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of an Mg-Al-Ca alloy. The decrease in grain size, increase in strength, and decrease in corrosion rates were attributed to the modification. However, the stress corrosion cracking resistance decreased due to filiform corrosion induced by the Al8Mn5 phase.

Summary: Through room-temperature compression tests, the microstructure evolution and room-temperature plastic deformation mechanism of a beta-type Ti-10Mo-1Fe alloy solution treated at 780 degrees C were studied. The results showed that the presence of primary alpha phase unevenly distributed twins between grains and inhibited the growth of twin laths to a certain extent. Additionally, the alloy exhibited an ultimate tensile strength of 934.5 MPa and an elongation of 21.7%, with the room-temperature plastic deformation mechanism dominated by {332} <113> twins.

Summary: The hot deformation behavior of multilayered Ti/Ni composites was studied using isothermal compression tests, with the Arrhenius-type constitutive model providing accurate predictions under different conditions. Higher energy dissipation efficiency was observed at medium & high temperature/low strain rate, with a large unstable region due to the presence of interfaces. Optimum processing parameters for the composites were identified at 630-700 degrees C/0.001-0.003 s(-1), with different deformation mechanisms for Ni and Ti layers at various temperatures and strain rates.

Summary: In this study, a high-entropy alloy particle reinforced 6061Al composite was prepared by cold spray and modified by friction stir processing. The microstructure evolution, corrosion, and wear behaviors of the composites were investigated. The results showed that friction stir processing can eliminate micro-pores and cracks and disperse the high-entropy alloy particles more uniformly in the aluminum matrix. In terms of corrosion and wear, the friction stir processed samples exhibited lower corrosion tendency and better wear resistance.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of microstructure on the corrosion behavior of dissimilar friction stir welded joints between stainless steel and low-carbon steel. The results suggest that the presence of low-angle grain boundaries and twin boundaries reduces the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel side. The corrosion mechanism in the stir zone involves galvanic corrosion between proeutectoid ferrite and pearlite on the low-carbon steel side.
