Corrosion Condition Evaluation at Muddy Creek Bridge

Corrosion rates were measured at the exposed spots of rebars near three corners of Muddy Creek Bridge located in northern West Virginia using a 3LP device. Also, chloride contents of the concrete samples taken from the vicinity of the spots were analyzed using a wet chemical method that had been developed in this study. The average corrosion rate over the three spots was 4.66 mA/m2, which is in the range of corrosion damage possible in 10–15 years. The average chloride content of the concrete over the three spots was 703 parts per million (ppm), which is well above the threshold limit value of 260 ppm. Although the corrosion rate measurement method using a 3LP device is by manual operation, it is found to be reliable and effective, and, thus, recommended for future studies of this kind of research. The wet chemical method developed in this study is found to be effective.     

Floating-patch MEMS antennas on HRS substrate for millimetre-wave applications

Novel floating-patch micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) antennas are proposed for millimetre-wave applications. The floating-patch MEMS antennas are fabricated on a high resistivity silicon (HRS) substrate using surface micromachining technology. Simulation and experimental results for reflection coefficients and radiation patterns are presented.     

Grain size effects on the mechanical properties of some squeeze cast light alloys

Mechanical property-grain size relationships have been examined for squeeze cast Al-4.5% Cu alloy, for an aluminium alloy with a composition corresponding to wrought 7010, and for a magnesium alloy AZ91. The general trend of the results obtained showed that the tensile properties and the fatigue strength improved as grain size decreased and the reverse was found to be the case for the fatigue crack propagation resistance and fracture energy of these castings. However, the results also showed that no simple common relationship existed between grain size and the tensile properties of the different alloys. The results are discussed in respect of their microstructures.     

Mechanical alloying in the Al-Bi alloy system

Mechanical alloying (MA) was carried out to investigate the MA behaviour of the immiscible Al-10, 30 at % Bi alloys. After the MA processing, the Al and Bi were finely and homogeneously alloyed. The Bi crystallite size decreased to 25 nm and 30 nm in the Al-10 at % Bi and Al-30 at % Bi alloys, respectively. By increasing the MA time, the hardness increased up to a value of 80 H _v, which is larger than that obtained from the rule of mixtures. The lattice parameter of Bi decreased by about 0.27%, which shows the formation of a non-equilibrium hcp Bi super-saturated solid solution. The extended solubility of Al in Bi was 1.9% in the Al-30 at % Bi alloy. Due to the extended solubility, depression of the melting temperature of hcp Bi was confirmed in the mechanically alloyed Al-Bi alloys. The maximum depression in the temperature was about 10 K. The measured values corresponded well with those estimated from the extrapolation of the solidus line.

Reduction of loading effect by tungsten etchback in a magneticallyenhanced reactive ion etcher

The plug loading effect occurring during the etchback of tungsten was investigated in a magnetically enhanced reactive ion etcher using SF ₆/Ar mixtures. It was found that while the plug loading effect is independent of varying SF₆/Ar flow rate ratio and magnetic field intensity, it is reduced under the condition of high selectivity of tungsten relative to TiN which was achieved at high chamber pressure and low RF power. It is proposed that when TiN is used as a glue layer, the W etch rate enhancement in the plug is mainly controlled by a local loading effect. Under the optimized etchback conditions the plug loss was successfully controlled without the tungsten residue left on severe topology
