Magnesium (Mg) and magnesium nickel (Mg-23.5 wt%Ni) reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were processed by powder metallurgy and then charged with hydrogen by annealing at 620 K under a pressure of 0.4 MPa of hydrogen. Mechanical spectroscop ...
Tempering effects have been studied in three martensitic carbon steels by mechanical spectroscopy. The mechanical-loss spectra present a relaxation peak similar to the Snoek-Koster peak in ferrite. The peak amplitude decreases upon tempering, indicating a ...
Mechanical spectroscopy measurements were performed on decagonal quasicrystalline Al-Cu-Fe-Cr coatings of three different thicknesses deposited on a mild steel substrate. The mechanical loss spectra indicate that the internal friction is mostly caused by t ...
Dislocation dynamics in a Ni-3(Al, Ta) single-crystal alloy have been studied by means of mechanical spectroscopy at intermediate temperatures, that is in the temperature range of the flow stress anomaly. The mechanical loss of specimens predeformed at 300 ...
Thermal stress relaxtion at the interfaces in magnesium matrix composite has been studied by mechanical spectroscopy. Two specimens were processed by a gas pressure infiltration method. In one sample, the metallic matrix was unidirectionally oriented with ...
Isothermal mechanical spectroscopy by means of a forced torsion pendulum (measuring internal friction/mechanical loss) was used to study the interplay of long-range atomic order and stress-induced diffusion (Zener relaxation) in Au57%Cu43%. Our results sho ...
Since the bulk Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals are extremely brittle below 700 K, a quasicrystalline coating deposited on a steel substrate by thermal spraying was used for mechanical spectroscopy measurements at temperatures in the range of 300-800 K. The internal ...
High temperature plasticity of fine-grained ceramics (ZrO2, Al2O3, etc) is usually associated with a grain boundary sliding process. The aim of the present research is then to improve the high-temperature mechanical strength of polycrystalline zirconia (3Y ...
