Item Effect of equal channel angular pressing on AZ31 wrought magnesium alloys(National Engg. Reaserch Center for Magnesium Alloys zhangdingfei@cqu.edu.cn, 2013) Muralidhar, A.; Narendranath, S.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.AZ31 wrought magnesium alloys are light weight materials which play an important role in order to reduces the environmental burdens in modern society because of its high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and stiffness and machinability. Applications of this material are mainly in structural component i.e., in constructions, automobile, aerospace, electronics and marine industries. In the present work, the microstructure characterization of the AZ31 alloys up to four ECAP passes at temperature of 573 K was observed for route Bc. Average grain size of the material was reduced from 31.8 ?m to 8 ?m after four ECAP passes. Mechanical properties of the alloy improved with increase in number of ECAP passes. Moreover, X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out for as received and ECAP processed material. © 2013 National Engineering Research Center for Magnesium Alloys of China, Chongqing University.Item Development and characteristics of accumulative roll bonded Mg-Zn/Ce/Al hybrid composite(Elsevier Ltd, 2017) Anne, G.; Ramesh, M.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Arya, S.B.; Sahu, S.Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process have been used develop Mg-2%Zn/Ce/Al hybrid composite and microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties were investigated. The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the grains are significantly reduced and reaches up to 1 ?m in Mg-2%Zn layer and 1.8 ?m in Al layer having high angle misorientation of grain boundaries after subjected to 5-passes of the ARB process. The Al17Mg12, AlMg4Zn11 and Al11Ce3 intermetallic phases were observed through the XRD analysis. Mechanical properties of the hybrid composite improved with increase in the number of ARB passes which is attributed to work hardening, grain refinement and uniform distribution of Ce particles. Presence of Ce in the hybrid composite restricts the phenomenon of dynamic recrystallization and prevents the grain growth during ARB process. The corrosion rate of Mg-Zn/Ce/Al hybrid composite (0.72 mm/y) improved about 3.3 times as compared to that of Mg-2%Zn alloy (2.37 mm/y). © 2017 Elsevier B.V.Item Development and properties evaluation of Mg-6% Zn/Al multilayered composites processed by accumulative roll bonding(Cambridge University Press, 2017) Anne, G.; Ramesh, M.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Arya, S.B.; Sahu, S.Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process was used to develop Mg-6% Zn/Al and Mg-6% Zn/anodized-Al multilayered composites. Microstructural characterization was done using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electron backscattered diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. An average grain size measured in the roll-bonded layers of Al, anodized Al, and Mg-2% Zn was found to be 1.8 ?m, 1.6 ?m, and 0.6 ?m, respectively. Phases Al17Mg12, AlMg4Zn11, and Al2O3 after 5-pass of ARB were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The Mg-6% Zn/Al and Mg-6% Zn/anodized Al composites exhibited tensile strengths ?252 MPa and ?256 MPa, respectively, after a 5-pass ARB process. Hardness of the individual layers of composite increased linearly with an increase in the number of ARB passes. Fractographs of the multilayered composite illustrated the ductile failure in Al and anodized Al layers and transgranular brittle fracture in Mg-6% Zn layers. © Materials Research Society 2017.Item Tribological and corrosion properties of AM70 magnesium alloy processed by equal channel angular pressing(Cambridge University Press, 2017) Gopi, K.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.Wear and corrosion properties of AM70 magnesium alloy subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) were investigated using pin-on-disc dry sliding wear test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), respectively. Wear test was conducted with 30 and 40 N loads with sliding distance of 5000 m and at a constant speed of 3 m/s. Reduced coefficient of friction (COF) and wear mass loss of ECAP processed samples showed increased wear resistance. Worn surface analysis by scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed the presence of delamination, wear debris, and plowing. Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) revealed the occurrence of oxidation, and the wear mechanism was identified as abrasion and oxidation wear. EIS plots showed the improvement in corrosion resistance of ECAP processed magnesium alloy compared to initial condition due to grain refinement and homogeneous distribution of secondary particles. © Materials Research Society 2017.Item Corrosion Behavior of ECAP-Processed AM90 Magnesium Alloy(Springer Verlag, 2018) Gopi, K.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Sahu, S.Magnesium AM90 alloy was subjected to equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) using route B C. Microstructural characterization revealed refined grains having average grain size ?3?m after ECAP 4 passes. Samples were subjected to electrochemical measurements to study the corrosion behavior. Potentiodynamic polarization test showed reduced corrosion current density (Icorr) for processed samples up to ECAP 3 pass due to grain refinement. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed an increase in the diameter of the capacitive arcs and charge-transfer resistance (Rt) for ECAP-processed 3 pass sample indicating the reduction in corrosion rate. Increase in corrosion resistance is due to refined microstructure and uniform distribution of secondary particles forming a protective passivation layer (Mg (OH) 2) on the sample’s surface. Immersion test indicated lower hydrogen evolution from ECAP-processed samples compared to the unprocessed condition indicating decreased corrosion rate. © 2018, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals.Item Numerical Simulation of Shot Peening Process on Equal Channel Angular Pressed Magnesium Alloy(Springer Netherlands rbk@louisiana.edu, 2018) Praveen, T.R.; Gopi, K.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.This paper presents the numerical simulation of inducing residual stresses on equal channel angular pressed (ECAP) magnesium alloy by shot peening process. Mg-Al-Mn (AM) series magnesium alloy was ECAP processed up to 4 passes using route BC. Microstructures were analysed and grain size reduced from 100 µm for the as-received sample to 3 µm for ECAP 4 pass sample. Tensile test was carried out and maximum tensile strength was found in ECAP 2 pass sample and decreased with higher ECAP passes. Grain refinement was characterized by optical microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction analysis (EBSD) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Material (tensile) behaviour of 2 pass sample was implemented for finite element modelling. A finite element method was used to estimate the intensity of residual stresses developed due to shot peening in ECAP processed AM80 alloy. Simulation was done with different boundary condition such as impact velocity, geometry of shot-peen media, angle of impact and multiple impacts. The results are presented and the relationship between process parameters and the intensity of residual stresses are discussed. Increase in velocity of shot peening media showed an increase in the magnitude of residual stresses. Change in geometry of shot media altered the contact area between target and shot media during impact which influenced the magnitude of residual stresses and coverage area. The magnitude of residual stresses varied with the angle of impact and the multiple repeated impacts showed that the effective depth of residual stresses increased with the number of impacts. © 2018, Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature.Item Investigation of microstructure and mechanical properties of the Cu-3% Ti alloy processed by multiaxial cryo-forging(Cambridge University Press, 2018) Ramesh, S.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Gopi, K.R.; Sahu, S.; Kuruveri, U.B.A Cu-3%Ti (wt%) alloy was processed by multiaxial forging (MAF) at cryogenic temperature up to 3 cycles, imposing a total strain of 1.6. Microstructure and mechanical properties of the unprocessed and cryo-forged samples were analyzed. X-ray diffraction results showed deviation in peak broadening and peak intensity of the cryo-forged samples in comparison to that of unprocessed, which are due to texture modification caused by grain refinement during the MAF process. Microstructural analysis showed reduction in grain size from 80 m in the as-received condition to 250 nm after 3 cycles. Electron backscatter diffraction results indicated the transformation of high angle grain boundaries to low angle grain boundaries in all 3 cycles when compared to the as-received condition. Reduction in ductility was observed after 1 cycle, but with an increase in the number of cycles, both strength and ductility increased. After 3 cycles, ultimate tensile strength and hardness reached 1126 MPa and 427 Hv as compared to 528 MPa and 224 Hv for the as-received condition. Fractography analysis showed decrement in dimple size after 1 cycle, in comparison to that of the as-received condition. However, it kept on increasing for higher number of cycles. © © Materials Research Society 2018.Item Effects of combined multiaxial forging and rolling process on microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of a Cu-Ti alloys(Institute of Physics Publishing helen.craven@iop.org, 2019) Ramesh, S.; Anne, G.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Sahu, S.; Arya, S.Combined multiaxial forging (MAF) and rolling was performed on Cu-3% Ti (wt%) alloy at room temperature with emphasis on microstructural evolution, improvement in mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. Microstructural changes were confirmed from various characterization techniques, and co-related with mechanical properties. TEM analysis revealed high shear band density in the 3 pass MAF + 90% rolled sample appearing due to high strain. EBSD analysis revealed transformation to low angle grain boundaries from high angle grain boundaries. Maximum microhardness and UTS reached to 340 HV and 960 MPa, respectively in the processed samples. Significant grain refinement was observed in MAF processed Cu-3%Ti alloy, and after combined MAF + rolling, higher dislocation density and refinement of shear bands were observed. In addition, potentio-dynamic polarization test was used to study the corrosion behavior of the alloy. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to analyze the corroded surface morphology. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.Item Investigation of Tribological and Corrosion Behavior of Cu-Ti Alloy Processed by Multiaxial Cryoforging(Springer, 2020) Ramesh, S.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.Wear and corrosion properties of Cu-3%Ti alloy subjected to multiaxial forging (MAF) under cryogenic conditions are estimated at room temperature. Wear study was performed using pin-on-disk dry sliding wear setup at 10 and 20 N loads with varying sliding distances (500-3000 m) under different sliding velocities (1 and 2 m/s). Coefficient of friction and wear mass loss decreases with an increase in MAF cycles, due to increases in hardness of samples. Wear resistance decreases with an increase in load and sliding velocity. Worn surface shows the plastic deformation regions, wear track, micro-cracks, micro-plowing groove and scratches. Potentiodynamic polarization test clearly shows that current density (Icorr) increases with an increase in MAF passes, because of grain refinement. Reduction in corrosion rate was evident from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results which show increased diameter of the capacitive arc. An enhancement of corrosion resistance was revealed at higher MAF passes. © 2020, ASM International.Item Strength enhancement of magnesium alloy through equal channel angular pressing and laser shock peening(Elsevier B.V., 2020) Praveen, T.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Swaroop, S.; Gopi, K.R.AM80 magnesium alloy was processed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing up to 2 passes under route BC and C, to study the effect of change in microstructure. Microstructures were examined under optical microscope. Samples processed by route BC showed heterogeneous grain structure with good tensile strength compared to that processed by route C. Tensile tests of 2-pass equal channel angular pressed samples showed high tensile strength under route BC. Laser shock peening without coating was carried out on route BC sample for further grain refinement on the surface. Laser pulses with power density of 8 GW cm?2, under different percentages of cover, were used to peen the surface at high strain rate. Microstructures were analysed through scanning and transmission electron microscope, and fine grains of less than 100 nm were observed. Tensile tests indicated that the laser shock peened samples had increased strength and ductility. Fracture details from tensile tested specimens, were examined under SEM. Mixed mode of brittle and ductile fractures was observed in ECAP processed samples. Fracture surface of Laser shock peening without coating treated on equal channel angular pressed samples showed small dimples near the peened surface and intensity of dimples increased with increase in percentage of cover. Wear test was carried out on before and after Laser shock peening without coating processed samples, on pin-on-disc wear test machine. Increase in friction coefficients and wear rate was observed due to roughness induced by peening effect and it decreased after increase in sliding distance due to increase in hardness. Nano indentation experiments were carried out to examine the mechanical characterization at nano level, and it expose the effect of LSPwC in terms of increase in hardness at peened region. © 2020
