RESUMEN
The surface activated bonding (SAB) method generally has the advantage of high bonding strength, low contact resistance, and high microstructural stability at room temperature. In this study, Ti-Al laminates were produced by surface activated bonding with aluminum and titanium foils. Heat treatment was conducted at the temperature range from 200 to 550 °C in vacuum. The bonding strength Ti-Al laminates was measured by a peel test, and the interfacial characteristics were investigated microstructural observation. The results showed that the bonding strength was the highest with heat treatment at 400 °C, microstructure observation revealed that the bonding strength of the Ti-Al laminate was influenced by the interfacial characteristics.
RESUMEN
The effect of Zn on pore characteristics in lotus-type porous Cu alloy was investigated. The lotustype porous Cu-Zn alloys were fabricated with Zn content from 0.01 to 0.1 at% by the centrifugal casting method. The results demonstrated that the porosity was rarely affected by Zn content. However, the average pore diameter and pore number density of the lotus type porous Cu-Zn alloys were significantly affected by the Zn content. The average pore diameter decreased as the Zn content increased up to 0.01 at%, and then increased as the Zn content increased up to 0.1 at%. In contrast, the variations in the pore number density of the lotus-type porous Cu-Zn alloys showed the reversed tendency with respect to that of the average pore diameter. The increase in heterogeneous nucleation sites for pores attributed to the decreased average pore diameter and the increased pore number density.
