Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) is very effective to enhance the corrosion performance of Mg alloys. However, the micro-pores in MAO coatings provide a channel for the corrosion medium to reach the alloy matrix. In this work, electron beam strengthening (EBS) is performed to improve the microstructure of the Mg alloy and the MAO coating is prepared subsequently to improve the corrosion performance. The crystalline size of the Mg alloy decreases, the roughness improves, and the corrosion resistance increases. Furthermore, refinement of the grain size by EBS improves the discharge in MAO. The noticeable effect of EBS on the microstructure of the coating lies in the improvement of density, such as porosity reduction by 47.8%. The compactness of the coatings also increases significantly, subsequently improving the corrosion resistance. The corrosion mechanism is proposed.
Based on twelve push-out specimens with different holes filling different materials,the paper compared and analyzed the capacity and the corresponding slip value of the stud shear connector.Meanwhile, tests were also conducted on three composite steel-FDPCP(Full-Depth Precast Concrete Panel) beams with different holes shape and degree of shear connection to investigate the characteistics of load-displacement,load-deflection,load-strain of the total cross section and monolithic action of the entire cross section in the paper. The results show that, as to the two different kinds of holes shape ,the strength of the stud shear connectors of square push-out specimens was huger than that of circular specimens with the same condition; the strength of stud shear connectors in steel-concrete composite structure was decided by the strength of concrete surrounding the shear in the holes, with increasing concrete strength, the strength of stud shear connectors improved greatly; the composite steel-FDPCP beams failed in bending,plane section was maintained in composite beams throughout the testing process.the composite steel-FDPCP beams have some merits :good bearing capacity, good anti-bend capability, fast pile-driving pace and perfect work behaviors as a whole;the ultimate flexural capacity of the composite steel-FDPCP beams with a full shear connection is close to that of a partial shear connection. The outputs of this study are very useful for further understanding of the characteristics of the composite steel-FDPCP beams,it is also expected that the results presented in this paper should be valuable for the design of the composite steel-FDPCP beams.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
