In this study, an interfacial hybrid pretreatment of laser cleaning and laser plastic-covered processing was introduced to enhance the strength of carbon fiber reinforced thermosetting composites (CFRTS) and TC4 alloy heterogeneous joint. The laser cleaning effectively removed the epoxy resin on CFRTS surface, while the laser plastic-covered processing produced a thermoplastic layer on TC4 surface. The result showed that mechanical interlocks and chemical bonds were formed at the CFRTS-TC4 interface, leading to an improvement in the CFRTS-TC4 joint strength.
To enhance the carbon fiber reinforced thermosetting composites (CFRTS) and the TC4 alloy heterogeneous joint strength, an interfacial hybrid pretreatment of laser cleaning and laser plastic-covered processing was introduced. The laser cleaning applied to remove the epoxy resin on CFRTS surface and the laser plastic-covered processing was applied to produce a thermoplastic layer on the TC4 surface. The surface morphology of CFRTS after laser cleaning, the CFRTS-TC4 heterogeneous joint enhancement and failure mechanism was investigated. The result showed that the epoxy resin on CFRTS surface could be removed effectively with this laser hybrid pretreatment and the contact area between the CFRTS and TC4 alloy can be improved. Mechanical interlocks and chemical bonds were produced at the CFRTS-TC4 interface, which further enhanced the CFRTS-TC4 heterogeneous joint strength. The CFRTS-TC4 joint fracture occurred between the carbon fibers and polyamide-6 (PA6) resin inside the CFRTS, and the fracture mode is tearing of the CFRTS interlayer.

Investigation on the crystal structure and mechanical properties of the ternary compound Mg11-xZnxSr combined with experimental measurements and first-principles calculations

Jian Wang, Lingzhong Meng, Zhang Zhang, Baisheng Sa, Xiaoxiao Fu, Liyuan Sheng, Daokui Xu, Yufeng Zheng

Summary: A new ternary compound, Mg11-xZnxSr, in the Mg-Zn-Sr system was analyzed using SEM, EDS, XRD, and TEM. The crystallized phase belonged to the tetragonal I41/amd space group and had the Cd11Ba prototype, with Mg atoms doping into the Zn11Sr crystal lattice. The Rietveld refinement and computational results showed a decrease in lattice parameters with decreasing Mg concentration and an increase in elastic constants with higher Zn content in Mg11-xZnxSr compounds.

Investigation of the equilibrium morphology of fcc e - Cu in Fe-Cu alloys using a non-local Allen-Cahn model

Rostyslav Nizinkovskyi, Thorsten Halle, Manja Krueger

Summary: Cu-precipitation in reactor pressure vessel steels is a major concern for the degradation of mechanical properties. This study develops and implements a non-local phase-field model to investigate the equilibrium morphology of precipitates in the over-aged state. The model confirms that the precipitates should have an oblate lath-like shape, which is supported by experimental data. The orientation of the precipitates is consistent with literature. The mechanism of morphology accommodation is explained using the invariant-line method. However, the equilibrium values of elongation significantly deviate from experimental data, likely due to the metastable state of the precipitates during the coarsening process.
