    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.

    Effect of Surface Modification on Erosion Behavior of Alumina-Samarium Strontium Aluminate Composite Thermal Barrier Coatings
    (Springer, 2025) James J, F.; Arya, S.B.; Yadav, S.; Paul, C.P.
    The mechanical and tribological characteristics of a thermal barrier coating are highly critical in gas turbine applications to resist high-temperature oxidation, corrosion, and solid particle erosion. In the present investigation, a composite coating with alumina and samarium strontium aluminate has been developed through a plasma spraying process. The as-coated composite top coat consisted of three phases ?-alumina, ?-alumina, and Sm2SrAl2O7. The as-coated surface is re-engineered with an Nd: YAG fiber laser to improve the mechanical and microstructural properties. The laser-treated samples showed a better erosion resistance than the as-coated samples. Despite the surface treatment, both the as-coated and the laser-treated samples showed a higher ‘average erosion value’ at an impact angle of 90° for the test temperatures of 200 and 800 °C. In addition, the as-coated and the laser-treated samples have a higher erosion rate at 800 than at 200 °C for the selected impact angles, with a mixed mode of material removal presenting both ductile and brittle failure mechanisms. © ASM International 2024.
