Abstract: Here in, we report the porous bioceramic with Na₂Ti₆O₁₃ rods prepared by in‒situ growth method. The samples were prepared using cold uniaxial pressing (40 MPa) technique and further sintered at different temperatures. The structure and morphology were characterized by XRD and SEM. The porosity, compressive strength and fracture toughness were also investigated. The bone-like apatite deposition ability of the fabricated ceramic samples was evaluated by Kokubo simulated body fluid (SBF) soaking method. The results indicated that the Na₂Ti₆O₁₃ rods with about 1‒3 μm in diameter are uniformly distributed in the self‒toughness porous sodium titanate ceramics (SPSTC). The SPSTC with a porosity of 61.10±1.12 % exhibits good compressive strength (43.36±2.43 MPa) and fracture toughness (3.47±0.21 MPa·m^1/2). The results indicate that the novel SPSTC scaffolds are promising for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract: Compression properties, microstructure evolution and deformation behaviors of cast and extruded AZ31 alloys are investigated. The results show that compressive yield stress, ultimate strength and ultimate compression ratio between extruded and cast AZ31 alloy are quite different. The yielding pattern of as-cast AZ31 alloy is continuous, and the yield pattern of extruded AZ31 alloy demonstrate an obvious yielding plateau mode. The angle between the fractures and specimens axis of as-cast and extruded AZ31 alloy is about 45°. A mass of reliefs and damage can be found on the specimen surface of as-cast AZ31 alloy and the twinning is main deformation sign in as-cast AZ31 alloy as seen a rough surface. The slip activity might be a predominant deformation mechanism in extruded AZ31 alloy judged by smooth surface after fracture.

Abstract: The microstructure, surface morphology, compression properties, deformation behaviour and strain hardening exponent of as-cast and as-extruded AZ31 Mg alloy after different annealing treatments were investigated. The results show that the compression properties are great different between cast AZ31 alloy and extruded AZ31 alloy. Extruded AZ31 alloy is discontinuous yield and on the surface no signs of damage have been observed; on the contrast, cast AZ31 alloy is continuous yield and shows wavy patterns, and the surface cracks can be easily found. In addition, there is a linear relationship between the strain hardening exponent in first deformation stage and the yield ratio. Further more, the twinning mechanism plays very different role in cast AZ31 alloy and extruded AZ31 alloy.

Abstract: The brazing process of magnesium alloy AZ31 was studied, and the mechanical properties of the weld were examined, and the main factors were analyzed through brazing furnace tests in this work. Only with the protection of self-made brazing flux, a lap joint with the average shear strength of 30MPa could be obtained in an ordinary resistance furnace without inert gas protection, which is much better than that without flux in which the shear strength is lower than 10MPa.
