    Effect of Rolling Reduction on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties Cu-3%Ti Alloy
    (Pleiades journals, 2019) Singh, P.; Ramesh, S.; Anne, G.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.
    Cu-3%Ti alloy is cold rolled with different reduction ratios and the microstructures and mechanical properties are compared with that of as-cast Cu-3%Ti alloy. Microstructure was analyzed using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. Optical microscopy revealed significant grain refinement that occurred during the rolling process. Tensile test results indicate that the UTS is increased by a significant amount up to 80% rolling reduction. A significant amount of tensile strength increased up to 812 MPa is about 1.69 times that of the cast Cu-3%Ti alloy. Hardness of the rolled Cu-3%Ti increased as % reduction increased. Dimples were revealed on the fracture surface of the rolled Cu-3%Ti specimens indicating a ductile nature of the fracture. © 2019, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

    Examining the Influence of StackinSequence on the Mechanical Properties of Hybrid Abaca-Jute Vinyl Ester Composites
    (Springer Nature, 2024) Ramesh, S.; Maruthi Prashanth, B.H.; Anne, G.; Naik, G.M.; Reddy, R.; Jagadeesh, C.; Sharma, P.; Prashanth Pai, M.
    This research looked on the impacts of layer arrange-ment on inter-laminar shear strength (ILSS), tensile, flexural, and impact capabilities of hybrid composite developed from 25% abaca and 25% jute fabrics reinforced 50% vinyl ester. Furthermore, the samples frac-tured under the tensile load were examined using SEM images. Utilizing a hot press process, these hybrid laminates were fabricated and sample preparation and testing were done as per ASTM criteria. The findings demonstrate that among Abaca-Jute-Abaca-Jute (AJAJ), Abaca-Jute-Abaca (AJJA), and Jute-Abaca-Abaca-Jute (JAAJ) vinyl ester composites, the Abaca-Jute-Jute-Abaca (AJJA) composites showed higher tensile modulus and strength by 23–33%, the flexural modulus and strength by 3–22%, the impact behavior, and ILSS strength by 11–33%. These benefits could be attributed to the presence of abaca fiber on the exterior of lami-nates. Fractography studies revealed that the fiber-resin bonding was superior. AJJA composites were found to be stronger than commonly used plastics in automobile interiors, making them a promising alternative. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.

    (Elsevier Ltd, 2018) Anne, G.; Ramesh, M.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.S.; Arya, S.B.
    Multilayered composite of Mg-2%Zn/anodized Al-7075 was developed by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) of wrought Mg-2%Zn and anodized aluminium 7075 alloy. The Mg-2%Zn/anodized Al-7075 composite exhibited density of 2298 kg/m3 which is about 1.2 times lighter weight as compared to Al-7075 alloy. The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed an average grain size of 1 μm and 0.73 μm in Mg-2%Zn and anodized Al-7075 layers respectively, and with high angle grain boundaries (HAGBs). Mechanical properties were evaluated by microhardness and tensile tests and found significant improvement in strength and hardness values as compared with Mg-2%Zn alloy after four pass ARB process. The multilayered composite shows better corrosion resistance as compared to rolled Mg-2%Zn alloy evaluated using using potentiodynamic polarization test. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

    Influence of cold rolling process on microstructure and mechanical properties of Cu-1.5%Ti alloy
    (American Institute of Physics Inc. subs@aip.org, 2018) Ramesh, S.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.S.; Anne, G.; Gopi, K.R.
    The effects of cold rolling on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of Cu-1.5%Ti alloy were investigated. The results showed that the tensile strength of the Cu-1.5%Ti alloy increased with an increase of rolling deformation at room temperature. Significant grain refinement took place during rolling process revealed in optical microstructure and transmission electron microscope analysis. XRD patterns revealed peaks indexed to Cu, Cu3-Ti2 and Cu4-Ti3 after 8-pass rolling process. Microhardness of the rolled Cu-1.5%Ti alloy layers increased incessantly with increase in the number of rolling passes. Tensile strength increased up to 294 MPa which was about 1.54 times higher than that of the cast Cu-1.5%Ti alloy. Fracture surfaces of the rolled Cu-1.5%Ti alloy revealed the dimples in the structure, which is an indication of ductile fracture. © 2018 Author(s).

    Development, Characterization, Mechanical and Corrosion Behaviour Investigation of Multi-direction Forged Mg–Zn Alloy
    (Springer International Publishing, 2019) Anne, G.; Ramesh, S.; Kumar, G.; Sahu, S.; Ramesh, M.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Arya, S.
    In the present study, homogenized Mg−4%Zn (wt%) alloy was exposed to multi-direction forging (MDF) at 280 °C up to 5 passes successfully. Microstructural evolution, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of the MDF-processed Mg−4%Zn alloy was investigated using different characterization techniques. Five passes of MDF (cumulative strain, ΣΔε = 3.45) led to the formation of ultrafine grain structure (grain size ~2.3 μm) with high angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) and high dislocation density. Corresponding ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and microhardness were observed to be 228 MPa and 88 Hv. Potentiodynamic polarization test results exhibited higher corrosion resistance (0.38 mm/y) in comparison with that of homogenized condition (1.33 mm/y). © 2019, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.

    Microstructural and mechanical characterisation of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy processed by multi-directional cryo-forging
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2021) Ramesh, S.; Anne, G.; Naik, G.M.; Jagadeesh, C.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.S.
    Aim of the present investigation is to study the microstructural and mechanical properties of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy before and after multi-direction forging (MDF) at cryogenic condition up to 3 cycles. Microstructure evolution of specimen was examined using optical microscope and orientation imaging microscopy as well as X-ray diffraction. Mechanical properties were measured by tensile test and Vickers micro hardness. Microstructural investigation shows that after 3 cycle of MDF average grain size was reduced to 8 μm with low angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) and high dislocation density. Mechanical examination displays an improvement in hardness, yield strength and ultimate tensile strength is due to increases in grain boundaries and strain hardening effect. After 3 cycles of MDF process with cumulative strain ςΔϵ = 3.64 led to the formation of fine grain structure, and microhardness were observed to be 168 HV. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    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.

    (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.

    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.
