  4. 2. Microstructure Formation and Mechanical Properties in Compacted Graphite Iron

    Author : Mathias König; Ingvar L. Svensson; Magnus Wessén; Torsten Sjögren; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cast iron; CGI; Microstructure formation; Mechanical properties;

    Abstract : Compacted graphite iron is rapidly becoming an attractive alternative for engine applications in the automotive industry. The improved process control now available that allows CGI components to be cast in a reproducible and reliable way has been the driving force for this development. READ MORE

  5. 3. The influence of Al alloy microstructure on conversion coating formation

    Author : Salil Sainis; Caterina Zanella; Ehsan Ghassemali; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aluminium alloys; cast Al-Si alloys; conversion coating treatment; cerium; localized deposition; surface pre-treatments; microstructure; SEM; FIB-SEM; AFM-SKPFM; aluminiumlegeringar; gjutna Al-Si legeringar; omvandlingsbeläggningar; cerium; lokaliserad deposition; ytförbehandlingar; microstruktur SEM; FIB-SEM; AFM-SKPFM;

    Abstract : The formation of conversion coatings based on Ce, trivalent Cr and Ti/Zr is triggered by the local pH increase at cathodic IM sites of the aluminium alloy microstructure. The pH gradient is created over the cathodic intermetallic (IM) sites of the microstructure and its intensity is influenced by their activity which depends on their chemical composition, their size, and spatial distribution.

  6. 4. Cathodic Arc Synthesis of Ti-Si-C-N Thin Films : Plasma Analysis and Microstructure Formation

    Author : Anders Eriksson; Johanna Rosén; Lars Hultman; Arutiun Ehiasarian; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This Thesis explores the arc deposition process and films of Ti-Si-C-N, inspired by the two ternary systems Ti-Si-N and Ti-C-N, both successfully applied as corrosion and wear resistant films. The correlation between cathode, plasma, and film properties are studied for a comprehensive view on film formation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Interaction of water with supplementary cementitious materials: Hydration mechanism, microstructure and moisture transport

    Author : Liming Huang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hydration; moisture transport; Supplementary cementitious materials; electrical conductivity; formation factor; durability; microstructure;

    Abstract : Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) offer a sustainable solution to reduce carbon emissions from the production of cement and concrete. This dissertation explores the impact of SCMs and the related additives on the hydration process of cementitious materials, which can affect their microstructure and transport properties. READ MORE
