Abstract

The effect of the alloying elements of Cr and Mo on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast TiAl alloys produced by a locally made arc-melting furnace was studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify the phases present in the samples. The microstructure of the TiAl samples was characterized using scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Compression tests were carried out at room temperature using an Instron servohydraulic testing machine. The results show that the Ti-48Al alloy exhibited a duplex microstructure, whereas with the addition of Cr a nearly lamellar microstructure was observed in Ti-48Al-2Cr and with the addition of both Cr and Mo also in Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Mo. The hardness values increased slightly as compared to the Ti-48Al alloy with the addition of the alloying elements. The presence of Cr in Ti-48Al-2Cr resulted in a slight increase in compressive fracture strain. The as-cast Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Mo alloy produced a higher yield strength and fracture strain in compression as compared to the other as-cast TiAl alloys. On the fracture surfaces of the as-cast TiAl alloys, mixed brittle transgranular and interlamellar fracture modes were predominantly observed.

Abstract

This research evaluates the impact of chemical modification on the thermal, structural, chemical, and mechanical properties of sugarcane bagasse particles for their application as reinforcement in polymer composites, which was conducted through alkalization and subsequent benzylation. Sugarcane bagasse was first mechanically refined, then treated with sodium hydroxide to produce alkalized bagasse (ALC), followed by etherification with benzyl chloride to yield benzylated bagasse (BLC). The untreated and modified particles were characterized using TGA, DSC, XRD, FTIR, and tensile testing. Thermal analysis showed degradation temperaturesof 250 °C, 245 °C, and 240 °C for untreated, ALC, and BLC, respectively. XRD revealed a decrease in crystallinity after treatment, indicating increased amorphous content due to surface modification. FTIR confirmed the replacement of hydroxyl groups with benzyl groups, enhancing hydrophobicity. Mechanical testing demonstrated a significant improvement in the tensile strength and modulus of PA6 composites reinforced with BLC, with the highest values (49.5 MPa and 1224.3 MPa) achieved using 100 µm BLC particles. These results highlight the effectiveness of chemical modification in improving interfacial compatibility and mechanical performance, supporting the use of modified bagasse as a sustainable reinforcement for bio-based composites.
