Diffusion and precipitation phenomena across layer interfaces in a roll bonding composite of Al(Si) and Al(Cu)

Layered composite structures can be generated in metallic sheets by roll bonding of dissimilar metals/alloys. In this investigation, heat treatable (Al(Cu)) and non-heat treatable (Al(Si)) aluminium alloys are roll bonded in sheet form. Large hardness differences between layers poses significant bonding challenges in the form of multiple necking within the hard Al(Cu) layers. For successful processing, it is vital to choose the candidate materials in a state of marginal hardness differences during rolling, but being capable of altering properties through subsequent heat treatments. Atomic diffusion takes place during heat treatment of the composite sheet and results in gradual hardness variation across sheet thickness. The Al(Cu) layers contribute to strength, whereas the Al(Si) layers provide protection from corrosion/wear-related degradation in the newly developed hybrid sheet. The overall mechanical properties of the heat-treated composite fall between the base alloys. The bonding interfaces are noted as the potential spots for initiating failure.     

Constitutive modeling of Aluminum Alloy 7050 cyclic mean stress relaxation and ratcheting

The challenge of describing in a generalized mathematical pattern the inelastic behavior of metals has led to the development of several constitutive models, especially in the field of cyclic plasticity, where phenomena with particular importance to low-cycle fatigue appear. Significant research efforts have been undertaken in studying and simulating the cyclic elastoplastic response of steels, while light metals, like aluminum and titanium, have attracted less attention. This paper provides a preliminary examination on the capacity of the Multi-component Armstrong and Frederick Multiplicative (MAFM) model to simulate effectively the cyclic mean stress relaxation and ratcheting of Aluminum Alloy 7050. The derived results indicate that the model is capable to describe successfully the complex cyclic plasticity phenomena exhibited by this alloy.     

Monodisperse CuPt alloy nanoparticles assembled on reduced graphene oxide as catalysts in the transfer hydrogenation of various functional organic groups

We present herein a new nanocatalyst, namely binary CuPt alloy nanoparticles (NPs) supported on reduced graphene oxide (CuPt‐rGO), as a highly active heterogeneous catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation (TH) protocol that is demonstrated to be applicable over the reduction of various unsaturated organic compounds (olefins, aldehydes/ketones and nitroarenes) in aqueous solutions at room temperature. CuPt alloy NPs were synthesized by the co‐reduction of metal (II) acetylacetonates by borane‐tert‐butylamine (BTB) complex in hot oleylamine (OAm) solution and then assembled on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via ultrasonic‐assisted liquid phase self‐assembly method. The structure of yielded CuPt NPs and CuPt‐rGO nanocatalyst were characterized by TEM, XRD and ICP‐MS. The activity of Cu₇Pt₃‐rGO nanocatalysts were then tested for the THs that were conducted in a commercially available high‐pressure tube using water as sole solvent and ammonia borane as a hydrogen donor at room temperature. The presented catalytic TH protocol was successfully applied over nitroarenes, olefines and aldehydes/ketones, and all the tested compounds were converted to corresponding reduction products with the yields reaching up to 99% under ambient conditions. Moreover, the Cu₇Pt₃‐rGO nanocatalyst was also reusable in the TH by providing 99% yield after five consecutive runs in TH of nitrobenzene as an example.     

Growth behaviour of cerium-based conversion coating on Zn-5%Al alloy

Cerium-based conversion coatings were deposited on a Zn-5%Al alloy by immersing the alloy in cerium nitrate aqueous solutions with various immersion times. The growth behaviour of the cerium-based conversion coating on the Zn-5%Al alloy was investigated by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), SEM, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and XPS techniques. The results reveal that the coating mainly consists of ZnO, Zn(OH)₂, Ce(OH)₄, Ce(OH)₃, CeO₂, and Ce₂O₃. The growth of the cerium-based conversion coating is accompanied by metal dissolution. The dissolution mainly occurs on the η-Zn surface of the phase boundary and continues to extend to the Zn-rich phase as the coating grows. EIS results show that with increasing immersion time, the corrosion resistance of the Ce conversion coating gradually increases in the early growth stage and then decreases when the cracks appear.     

The local electrochemical behavior of the AA2098-T351 and surface preparation effects investigated by scanning electrochemical microscopy

In this work, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) measurements were employed to characterize the electrochemical activities on polished and as-received surfaces of the 2098-T351 aluminum alloy (AA2098-T351). The effects of the near surface deformed layer (NSDL) and its removal by polishing on the electrochemical activities of the alloy surface were evaluated and compared by the use of different modes of SECM. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were also employed to characterize the morphology of the surfaces. The surface chemistry was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The surface generation/tip collection (SG/TC) and competition modes of the SECM were used to study hydrogen gas (H₂) evolution and oxygen reduction reactions, respectively. H₂ evolution and oxygen reduction were more pronounced on the polished surfaces. The feedback mode of SECM was adopted to characterize the electrochemical activity of the polished surface that was previously corroded by immersion in a chloride-containing solution, in order to investigate the influence of the products formed on the active/passive domains. The precorroded surface and as-received surfaces revealed lower electrochemical activities compared with the polished surface showing that either the NSDL or corrosion products largely decreased the local electrochemical activities at the AA2098-T351 surfaces.     

First Principles Calculations Toward Understanding SERS of 2,2′-Bipyridyl Adsorbed on Au,Ag, and Au–Ag Nanoalloy

First principles electrodyanmics and quantum chemical simulations are performed to gain insights into the underlying mechanisms of the surface enhanced Raman spectra of 22BPY adsorbed on pure Au and Ag as well as on Au–Ag alloy nanodiscs. Experimental SERS spectra from Au and Ag nanodiscs show similar peaks, whereas those from Au–Ag alloy reveal new spectral features. The physical enhancement factors due to surface nano-texture were considered by numerical FDTD simulations of light intensity distribution for the nano-textured Au, Ag, and Au–Ag alloy and compared with experimental results. For the chemical insights of the enhancement, the DFT calculations with the dispersion interaction were performed using Au₂₀, Ag₂₀, and Au₁₀Ag₁₀ clusters of a pyramidal structure for SERS modeling. Binding of 22BPY to the clusters was simulated by considering possible arrangements of vertex and planar physical as well as chemical adsorption models. The DFT results indicate that 22BPY prefers a coplanar adsorption on a (111) face with trans-conformation having close energy difference to cis-conformation. Binding to pure Au cluster is stronger than to pure Ag or Au–Ag alloy clusters and adsorption onto the alloy surface can deform the surface. The computed Raman spectra are compared with experimental data and assignments for pure Au and Ag models are well matching, indicating the need of dispersion interaction to reproduce strong Raman signal at around 800 cm^–1. This work provides insight into 3D character of SERS on nanorough surfaces due to different binding energies and bond length of nanoalloys. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
