Therefore, the main novelty of the article is to prepare green epoxy resin coatings modified with recycled fine aggregate in a replacement ratio of natural fine aggregate ranged from 20 to 100%. The microstructural properties of the aggregates and epoxy resin were analyzed using micro-computed tomography, scanning electron microscopy and nanoindentation. The macroscopic mechanical properties were examined using pull-off strength tests. The highest improvement of the mechanical properties was observed for epoxy resin coatings modified with 20% of natural fine aggregate and 80% of recycled fine aggregate. It has been found that even 100% of natural fine aggregate can be successfully replaced using the recycled fine aggregate with consequent improvement of the pull-off strength of analyzed epoxy resin coatings. In order to confirm the assumptions resulting from the conducted research, an original analytical and numerical failure model proved the superior behavior of modified coating was developed.

The ultrasonic signal travels within the wedge and gets reflected from its boundaries, causing interference signals called “ghost echoes”. The current work presents an investigation of the additional damping effect provided by porous sintered metal plates applied onto the surface of the wedge. In particular, the study evaluates the effect of damping plate thickness on the interference signal level at different transmission frequencies. Damping plates made of sintered metal SIKA-R 15 AX were attached to a wedge prototype made of steel 1.4301. The study revealed, that the most effective thickness of damping plates in the selected frequency interval of 1 to 4 MHz is equal to 4 mm. The evaluation of the interference signal has shown that the application of such damping plates to the wedge surface contributes to an additional attenuation of an interference signal of 10 to 30 dB after 500 µs of signal propagation.

The increase in hardness within the stir zone (SZ) originated from the partial re-precipitation of the initial Guinier-Preston-Bagaryatsky zones (GPB) and metastable S needles, previously dissolved.) Formation and growth of stable S precipitates via coalescence accounted for the softening through the thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ). The peak strengthening within the HAZ of the IFSW joints was mainly caused by the dense needle-shaped S particles, which can be explained by a mutual influence of the process specific temperature and strain cycles. Dislocations and subgrain boundaries introduced to the material due to plastic deformation facilitated the nucleation of strengthening S precipitates in the HAZ. It demonstrates that the impact of deformation should be considered by the characterization of the precipitation development in the HAZ.

Mixtures of microstructural titanium powders and nc-Ti0.9Mo0.1C/C carbide powders protected from oxidation by a carbon shell were subjected to sintering. The powders with nc-Ti0.9Mo0.1C/C contents of 10 and 20 wt% were used. The content of carbon forming the carbon shell was approximately 3 or 40 wt%. Composites with near full density were reinforced with titanium carbides in a Ti-Mo matrix. The composites with the highest content of reinforcing phase are characterized by the highest values of hardness, Young's modulus and wear resistance. Although the hardness of these composites is similar to that of ceramics, their nature is not brittle. Despite the high value of the Young's modulus, the addition of hard particles of the reinforcing phase to the titanium matrix significantly increases the values of the H/E ratio of the composites compared to the reference samples of cp-Ti and Ti6Al4V. A comparison of the research results for the composites with the highest share of titanium carbides showed that lowering the sintering temperature from 1300 to 1150 °C resulted in the inhibition of grain growth, a reduction in composite heterogeneity, composite roughness and hardness as well as a rise in the Young's modulus. An increase in the sintering temperature from 1150 to 1300 °C contributed to the higher high angle grain boundaries (HAGB) content.

T1 - Hot target magnetron sputtering enhanced by RF-ICP source: Microstructure and functional properties of CrNx coatings T2 - Vacuum N2 - CrNx coatings were deposited at high rates (100–130 nm/min) using hot Cr target magnetron sputtering enhanced by a radio-frequency inductively coupled plasma (RF-ICP) source in an Ar + N2 atmosphere. Besides separation of inert and reactive atmosphere, the RF-ICP source can be an effective tool for ion assistance in case of coating growth and to tailor film parameters. The effects of nitrogen flow rate and substrate bias potential on microstructure and functional properties of the CrNx coatings were investigated. An increase in nitrogen flow rate favored the formation of a looser microstructure of the coatings, while substrate biasing had the opposite effect. The functional properties were strongly dependent on the phase composition of the CrNx coatings. The change in coating microstructure significantly affected hardness, elastic modulus, adhesion, friction coefficients and corrosion resistance. The results indicated that ion assistance can be a key feature for regulating functional properties in the considered type of coating deposition. Cr2N and CrN compound coatings with high hardness (∼20 GPa) and low corrosion current density (icorr ∼ 3–5·10−9 A/cm2) in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution were obtained by high-rate deposition.

A micro-scale three-point bending fixture was designed and incorporated into a micro tensile/compression machine inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to perform in-situ electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) measurements during different phases of cyclic fatigue testing. The following results were obtained: 1) The quantitative strain could be compared after each stage of deformation. 2) The rotation of the grains orientations is observed during the cyclic deformation while the morphology did not change significantly. The results contribute to the understanding of the evolution of the microstructure at low strain variations under bending fatigue conditions, and can support the prediction of the fatigue life of 316LVM stainless steel oligocrystalline microdevices like coronary artery stents.
