This has been achieved by effectively managing a number of factors, including the control of impurity elements, such as hydrogen and phosphorous that are present during the preparation of Li-containing alloys, as well as using grain refining elements such as Mn and Zr.
These help by assisting in pinning grain boundaries.
This was shown by the large number of pit sites surrounding the intermetallic particles.
Some of the pits on AA2024-T3 were a similar size to those on AA2099-T8E77 (~100 x 100 µm), however, most were smaller and the number of pits was also less, as illustrated in Fig. 1c.
Of the phases that are detrimental to corrosion, AA2024-T3 possesses the potential to include a number; Al2Cu and Al2Cu-Mg, whereas AA2099-T8E77 can also include; Al3Li and Al2CuLi.

The number of cycles for each of the specimens has been established at 4000.
The dendrite grains at the boundary between the remelted and heat affected zones (RZ/HAZ) are fine, which is caused by the high temperature gradient.
With the use of the testing device, the coefficient of friction in the function of cycle number, has been evaluated (Fig. 3).
The sudden changes of the coefficient of friction that appear along some curves may result from the contact of the counter-specimen (Al2O3 ball) with the grains of adequate, undissolved in the laser treatment carbides.
The plot of the coefficient of friction depending on the number of cycles during the pin-on-disc test of X40CrMoV5-1 steel after alloying with TaC.

(2) Particle analysis
Test of fine-grained soil 0.075mm below is conducted using laser particle size analyzer and test results are shown in the figure below, which reflects that the microscopic structure of the cohesive soil is stable aggregates cemented by free oxides.
This is an important feature of high water content cohesive soil that is different from the general fine-grained soil. 2) According to the test statistics, the maximum intensity moisture content is generally less than the optimum moisture content from 0.2 to 0.3 in consistency, and the moisture content is more than from 6% to 10%.
Fig.7 Relationship between resilient modulus and freeze-thaw cycles (2) Relationship between resilient modulus and freeze-thaw cycle number Resilient modulus for the different compaction degree is shown in Figure 8.
Fig.8 Relationship between resilient modulus and the freeze-thaw cycle number It can be seen that the resilient modulus under each compaction degree decreases with the increase of freeze-thaw cycle number.

As a result, in seams welded underwater, a large number of pores are observed, and the hydrogen content can be several times higher than the equilibrium one.
At the first stage, it was necessary to clarify the range of ACF parameters to reduce the number of experiments.
So, at a magnetic induction of 15 mT, the diameter of the overwhelming number of pores was in the range of 2 ... 10 μm, and only in some cases pores with a diameter of 13 ... 20 μm were encountered, Fig.2 c.
During metallographic studies, the structures of the weld metal and heat affected zone (HAZ) were studied in the following areas: overheating (large grain - I HAZ), crystalline modification (II HAZ), incomplete recrystallization (III HAZ), recrystallization (IV HAZ).
Near the fusion line (weld metal), as well as in I HAZ there is grain size refinement in 1.3…1.4 times.

Both of these proceses produced
inperfect protective layers, but we proved that a PLD DLC film over the diamond layer does reduce
the number of pinholes in the coating.
The DLC grains cluster around the pinholes and forms hills over them.

The mechanical strength of the shaped blank-product, but also indirectly of the final product (after sintering), depends on the interaction between two polymers and the polymer and the powder grains.
Experimental Slurry preparation The solid phase used for the preparation of the slurry was α-Al2O3 (denoted as A16SG, delivered by Almatis) with the parameters: average grain size – about 0.5µm, specific surface area (measured by BET) – 8.9m2/g, and the density (measured by the pycnometric method) – 3.89g/cm3.
In the present experiments, we used structural foams delivered by the Kureta Co (Germany) in which the number of open pores per inch was 10, 20 and 30 (ppi10, ppi20, ppi30).
The foams differed in the number of pores per inch.
Since the amount of the slurry deposited on the substrate depends on the number of substrate openings, the density of the material deposited on the pppi30 foam is higher than that with the other foams and, thus, the open porosity of the material is higher.
