Aluminum surface treatment and process optimization: Boosting mechanical performance in aluminum/polypropylene composite friction stir lap joints by Mojtaba Movahedi, Mahtab Mohsenirad, Ashkaan Ozlati

“…The larger anchors, as well as those penetrating relatively perpendicular into the polymer composite substrate, provided the joints with the highest fracture load and absorbed energy up to peak load at the intermediate tool rotational speeds of 700 and 900 rpm. Microstructural analysis demonstrated that chemical surface treatment with a solution of HCl and FeCl3 in distilled water significantly increased the surface roughness of the aluminum sheet (by a factor of ∼4) and created numerous microscopic voids on its surface. …”

Strength Characteristics Prediction of the Metal Obtained by Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing by Evgeny Tongov, Vladimir Petkov, Vanya Dyakova, Tatiana Simeonova, Manahil Tongov

“…To verify that the location of specimen extraction does not influence the test results, both thermal modeling and metallographic analysis were employed. Three key findings were established: (1) Thermal simulations and metallographic observations indicate that after the deposition of the first 5–6 layers, the microstructure becomes relatively similar; (2) significant microstructural variation occurs only in the final layer; and (3) six new regression equations were developed to predict the mechanical properties of the deposited metal based on WAAM process parameters.…”
