    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.

    Microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium alloy processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP)
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2017) Gopi, K.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.
    Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) with different passes was carried out for Mg-Al-Mn (AM) series magnesium alloy to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties. ECAP process was carried up to 4 passes using route BC, where the samples are rotated by 90° in the same direction between consecutive passes. Microstructures were studied using optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) and it was observed that the grain size was reduced from 100 μm to 1 μm after 4 passes. Tensile test was conducted and the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) increased up to 2 passes but decreased with higher passes, even though grain size became finer with increase in ECAP passes. Microhardness was carried out and it was observed that the hardness was increased up to 2 passes of ECAP and decreased with higher passes. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

    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.

    Electrochemical Behaviour of ECAP-Processed AM Series Magnesium Alloy
    (Springer International Publishing, 2019) Gopi, K.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.
    Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is a technique for inducing high strain into the material to achieve ultrafine grain refinement. AM80 magnesium was processed by ECAP with processing route BC. ECAP-processed samples were tested for microstructural studies and electrochemical measurements. Potentiodynamic polarization test revealed decrease in corrosion current density due to uniform refined microstructure of the processed samples. Increment in charge transfer resistance (Rt) was observed for ECAPed samples with increase in capacitive arc diameters in Nyquist plots showing increased corrosion resistance in comparison with as-cast condition. The increment in corrosion resistance is because of grain refinement and uniform dispersal of intermetallic particles, which improved development of protective layer and bonding due to increased grain boundary density by ECAP process. © 2019, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.

    Effect of multiaxial cryoforging on wear properties of cu-1.5%ti alloy
    (Trans Tech Publications Ltd ttp@transtec.ch, 2019) Ramesh, S.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.
    Copper-Titanium alloy was subjected to multi axial forging (MAF) at cryogenic temperature. Microstructure evolution was observed using optical microscope (OM). After 9 pass of MAF, grain size reduced to 2 µm. As number of MAF pass increases, hardness of the sample increased, due to strain hardening effect. Dry sliding wear test was performed on as-received and MAF processed samples using pin on disc wear machine. Tests were performed at 30 N and 40 N loads at 3 m/s constant speed and at 1000 m and 2000 m, sliding distance. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and EDS was used to analyze the worn-out surface of the specimen. Wear mass loss of MAF processed sample reduced, with increased number of MAF passes. Frictional Coefficient (COF) reduced with increase in MAF passes and improved with increase in load, because of increase in contact area between sample and disc. © 2019 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland.

    Development of a Rack-and-Pinion Mechanism with Arduino-Based PID Control System for a Continuous Passive Motion Device in Knee Rehabilitation
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Sholapurkar, S.U.; Chanda, S.; Verma, K.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Das, B.
    This paper outlines the design and prototyping methodology for a simple, cost-effective device intended for Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) therapy, specifically for knee rehabilitation. The device is designed to assist patients in recovery by providing controlled, repetitive motion to the knee joint without requiring active participation. Its core mechanism utilizes a rack-and-pinion system, which converts rotational motion into linear motion, ensuring smooth and consistent lower limb movement. A PID controller has been implemented using an Arduino Mega microcontroller to provide precise control over the motion. This setup allows for accurate adjustments to both position and speed, aligning with the therapeutic requirements for effective rehabilitation. Key success factors and failure points are also highlighted, providing valuable insights for future improvements and development. © 2024 IEEE.

    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.

    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.

    (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.

    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.
