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 Microstructure Evolution and Mechanical and Corrosion Behavior of Accumulative Roll Bonded Mg-2%Zn/Al-7075 Multilayered Composite(Springer New York LLC barbara.b.bertram@gsk.com, 2017) Anne, G.; Ramesh, M.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Arya, S.B.; Sahu, S.Multilayered composite of Mg-2%Zn/Al-7075 was developed by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) of wrought Mg-2%Zn and aluminum 7075 alloy. The Mg-2%Zn/Al-7075 multilayered composite exhibited density of 2295 kg/m3 and an average grain size of 1 and 1.3 ?m in Mg-2%Zn and Al-7075 layers, respectively. A thorough microstructural characterization was performed on the composites by scanning electron microscope, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), transmission electron microscope and phase analysis by x-ray diffraction. In addition, mechanical properties were evaluated by microhardness and tensile tests. Corrosion behavior of the multilayered composite was examined using electrochemical polarization test. EBSD analysis showed the presence of ultrafine grains with high-angle grain boundaries. The composite exhibited a significant improvement in ultimate tensile strength (~1.82 times) and elongation (~1.5 times) as compared with Mg-2%Zn alloy, after four-pass ARB process. © 2017, ASM International.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 Enhancing surface characteristics of Mg-Zn-Sr alloy through cryo-ball burnishing; modeling and experimentation(Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2024) Kudva, S.A.; Anne, G.; Ramesh, S.; Sharma, P.; Jagadeesh, C.; Ritti, L.; Naik, G.M.; Divya Deepak, G.D.In this investigation, the impact of the cryo-ball burnishing process on both the mechanical and corrosion properties of the Mg-4Zn-1Sr alloy was systematically explored. To better understand the plastic deformation occurring in Mg-4Zn-1Sr during cryo-burnishing, a finite element analysis (FEA) model was developed. The microstructure of cryo-ball burnished samples underwent characterization through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and surface properties were assessed using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Additionally, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization tests were conducted in a simulated body fluid using an electrochemical workstation. Experimental findings revealed significant grain refinement and the presence of residual dislocations during the cryo-burnishing process, as evident in TEM analysis. XRD analysis indicated the presence of Mg, Mg17Sr2 and SrZn2 phases, with observable peak broadening in the cryo-burnished samples, attributed to structural refinement and lattice strain incorporation. Microhardness values increased with greater depth of press, with the DFN 1071 sample displaying a hardness of 80 ± 4 Hv (Ra = 1.853 µm), marking a 54 % improvement compared to the homogenized sample. The enhanced corrosion resistance of the Mg-4Zn-1Sr alloy due to cryo-burnishing is attributed to the combined effects of grain refinement, residual dislocations, and intermetallic phases. © The Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.Item On the microstructure, texture and electrochemical properties of severely deformed and artificially aged lightweight AA2050 Al-Cu-Li alloy(Institute of Physics, 2024) Jagadeesh, C.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Sekar, P.; Ramesh, S.; Anne, G.Lightweight 3rd generation Al-Cu-Li alloy AA2050 was severely deformed via Multi Axial Forging (MAF) at 170 °C followed by artificial aging at 150 °C. Effect of MAF and post MAF aging on microstructure and precipitation was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Formation of deformation bands and large dislocation cells were evident on MAF processed samples. Post MAF peak aging resulted in the distribution of fine T1 precipitates in grain interiors with reduction in grain boundary precipitation. Bulk texture studies reveal the formation of strong Goss and S texture components upon MAF processing. Further, low temperature artificial aging doesn’t exhibit significant changes in texture characteristics, either in terms of texture intensities or texture components. Polarization studies showed that peak aged samples exhibited better corrosion resistance compared to un-aged samples. Overall, 12 pass MAF processed and peak aged samples showed higher corrosion resistance. Further, corrosion surface morphologies examination revealed the change in corrosion mechanisms with thermomechanical treatments. Improved corrosion resistance after MAF and peak aging widens the requirements in aerospace and aircraft applications for such engineering alloys. © 2024 The Author(s).
