Material Characterization Assignment 1

This document discusses the topography, morphology, strength, and crystallization of aluminium foil. It describes how aluminium foil is manufactured through pack rolling and cold rolling processes. This reduces the thickness of pure aluminium foil from 750nm to 75-85% thinner. The foil has a bright and matte side due to the rolling process. Aluminium foil has high tensile strength that can be increased through alloying with metals like manganese, silicon, copper and magnesium. The cold rolling process results in a microstructure of the foil that is visible under SEM imaging.

Alloy foil

Topography
In the final pass of making thin aluminium foil, pack rolling, which involves rolling two
stacked sheets of material simultaneously, is frequently used. The rolled foil has a bright side
where it hits the bright rolls and a matte side where the two foil sheets meet. A 100% pure
aluminium foil with a starting thickness of 750 nm and a 30% thickness variation was
manufactured by Advent Research Materials. Cold rolling was used to lower the thickness of
this submicron foil by 75% to 85% in stacks of about 600 layers (2 cm x 2 cm in size). Every
stack of submicron aluminium foil was additionally wrapped in 2-4 layers of 10-11 m thick
aluminium foil to increase the original thickness of the stacks overall. Only the effective
applied real strain can be estimated. due to the extra-thick external aluminium foils and
thickness variation of 30%. For SEM, aluminium alloy foil is easily available.

 Strength

There is a sizable tensile strength in pure aluminium. It is possible to create an alloy with
properties that are precisely suitable for a given purpose while simultaneously boosting the
strength of aluminium by using alloying components including manganese, silicon, copper,
and magnesium. Aluminium works best in cold areas. It benefits from higher tensile strength
than steel while maintaining toughness at lower temperatures. But as soon as the temperature
decreases, it can harden. Castable. Durable. Dynamic. easy to produce elastic solids are easily

expansion management. a highly detailed structure to form constancy. Aluminium is soft,
flexible, and has excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. The metal is very reactive,
although it is protected by a surface layer of inert transparent oxide (Al2O3) that develops
quickly in air and provides good corrosion resistance. Aluminium’s properties allow it to be
used in a wide range of products, from cooking foil and kitchenware to overhead power lines
and aircraft parts, as well as the ability to alloy it with other metals to increase its strength. 

Crystallization

small honeycomb-shaped formations Building foundations and superstructures can be


constructed more quickly and cheaply by using aluminium foil, which provides the necessary
stiffness and stability. SEM images of the aluminium foil's final microstructure after it had
been cold rolled and its original thickness of 750 nm reduced by roughly 90%. A SEM image
displaying the final microstructure of aluminium foil, which was cold rolled to about 95%
reduce its initial thickness of 750 nm.
Ceramic Powder

Topography

Both as finished products and as manufacturing inputs, powders with specified qualities are
necessary for industrial processes. One of the most important steps in the production of
powder is the capacity to generate powder with the required qualities. The size, composition,
and morphology of the powder's particles determine its properties. Spray drying is one of the
most effective and practical methods for generating spherical particles with a controlled size
distribution, predictable form, and uniform composition.
Morphography

The dispersity and shape of ceramic powder were considered for morphography. The impact
of a certain surface area on the relative density of compacts was examined. The relative
density of green body compacts decreased from 52% to 38% at a given 50 MPa uniaxial
pressure, but their specific surface area increased from 1.45 to 12.38 m2/g. To create
ceramics with the highest improvement in optical transmission, the uniaxial pressing value
was raised to 150 MPa. However, an increase in specific surface area and uniaxial pressure
caused the creation of macro defects in ceramic samples. The optical transparency of ceramic
particles is significantly influenced by their form and dispersion. The optical properties were
hardly affected by the forming conditions.

Composition

While not being constructed of inorganic materials, ceramics contain an organic chemical
composition. The generally acknowledged properties of ceramics are missing a few things.
Returning to the diamond, the jeweller uses the fact that, despite being classified as a
ceramic, diamonds conduct heat better than copper to distinguish genuine diamonds from
imitations such as cubic zirconia. Ceramics have a comparatively high electrical conductivity.
Think about a polycrystalline (many-grained) zirconia material's ionic conductivity.
Additionally, copper oxide ceramics' superconducting capabilities have been proven. Some
ceramic materials do not exhibit the commonly observed brittleness of ceramics.

Crystallography
Ceramics have a crystalline structure, whereas glasses have an amorphous (non-crystalline)
structure. Many ceramic materials, including NaCl, MgO, and Al2O3, have the ability to
form ionic bonds. Atoms are electrostatically pulled toward one another as ions with different
electric charges.
