Mas o processo de termofixação modifica algumas propriedades do tecido e entre elas podemos destacar: Hidrofilidade, comportamento tintorial, alongamento e ruptura. Essas propriedades são influenciadas pelas variáveis tempo e temperatura de termofixação. Nesse sentido o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as alterações proporcionadas pela termofixação nas propriedades físico-químicas do tecido de poliéster. O poliéster é um material que apresenta superfície quimicamente inerte, não porosa e com baixa energia de superfície (43 mN/m). O tratamento com descarga corona vem propor aumentar a energia de superfície, melhorar a hidrofilidade, o comportamento tintorial e a adesão do tecido termofixado e sem termofixar. Submeteram-se amostras de tecido plano de poliéster á termofixação em diversas combinações de tempo e temperatura dentro dos intervalos de 120 a 220°C e de 30 a 120 segundos. Após a termofixação mediu-se o encolhimento das amostras e submeteram-se as mesmas a testes de alongamento e ruptura. Trataram-se amostras de tecido de poliéster termofixadas e sem termofixar com descarga corona, e em seguida, submeteu-se as mesmas a testes de hidrofilidade, tingimento, estampagem, alongamento e ruptura. Observou-se que a termofixação promove encolhimento, aumento do alongamento, diminuição da hidrofilidade e da absorção de corante em tingimento de tecido de poliéster. O tratamento corona aumenta a hidrofilidade, a absorção de corante, a ancoragem de pigmentos em amostras de tecido de poliéster termofixadas e sem termofixar / Abstract: The thermal treatment, which in the textile industry is known as heat setting, is very important to ensure the dimensional stability of polyester fabric during the process of improving and use. But the process of heat setting changes some properties of the fabric and among them we can highlight: Hidrophilicity, dyeability, elongation and strength. These properties are influenced by variables dwell time and heat setting temperature. In that sense this work has as objective to analyze the changes caused by heat in the physico-chemical properties of polyester fabric. Polyester is a material that presents the surface chemically inert, non-porous and low surface energy (43 mN / m). The treatment with corona discharge is proposing to increase the surface energy, improve the hidrophilicity, dyeability and adhesion of the polyester fabric with and without heat setting. Samples of polyester plan fabric underwent to heat setting on various combinations of time and temperature within the interval between 120 to 220 ° C, from 30 to 120 seconds. After the heat setting was measured the shrinkage of the samples and underwent the samples by tests of elongation and rupture. Samples of polyester fabric with and without heat setting were treated with corona discharge and in sequence the samples were tested by hidrophilicity, dyeing and printing. The heat setting promotes shrinkage and increase the elongation of polyester fabric. It was observed that the heat setting promotes shrinkage, increase of elongation, reduction of hydrophilicity and reduction of uptake of dye in the dyeing of polyester fabric. The corona treatment increase the hydrophilicity, the absorption of dye in pad-thermofix process and the pigment anchoring in polyester fabric samples with and without heat setting / Mestrado / Ciencia e Tecnologia de Materiais / Mestre em Engenharia Química

O material foi submetido a diferentes tratamentos térmicos com o intuito de modificar suas propriedades mecânicas, e a acabamentos de jateamento, ataque químico e polimento eletroquímico para analisar os efeitos dos mesmos no acabamento de superfície. As modificações resultantes após os tratamentos térmicos e acabamentos de superfície foram analisadas por microscopia óptica, microscopia eletrônica de varredura, difração de raios-X, medidas de rugosidade e massa, microdureza Vickers, e ensaios de tração e compressão. No estudo de acabamentos de superfície, o menor valor de rugosidade foi obtido após as etapas de jateamento e ataque químico combinadas. O acabamento de jateamento é responsável por deixar uma superfície com rugosidade uniforme, enquanto o ataque químico é responsável pela limpeza da superfície e redução da rugosidade. As amostras foram submetidas aos tratamentos térmicos nas temperaturas de 850 ºC, 950 ºC e 1050 ºC durante uma hora com resfriamento em forno. Foi constatado que quanto maior a temperatura empregada, maior é a ductilidade do material e, por outro lado, menor é a resistência mecânica. Tal fato ocorreu devido à maior nucleação e crescimento da fases 'alfa' e 'beta' no material, que apresentava inicialmente uma estrutura constituída por martensita hexagonal ('alfa'). A condição de tratamento térmico a 950 ºC foi a que apresentou a melhor relação de propriedades mecânicas, satisfazendo os requerimentos da norma ASTM F136 para a utilização da liga Ti-6Al-4V em implantes / Abstract: In this study, the Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy, used in permanent or temporary orthopedic implants due to its biocompatibility, was produced by additive manufacturing using the Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) process. The material was subjected to different heat treatments in order to modify their mechanical properties, and to the surface finishes of blasting, chemical etching and electropolishing to analyze their effects on surface finish. The resulting changes after the heat treatments and surface finishes were analyzed by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, roughness and mass measurements, Vickers microhardness, and tensile and compression tests. In surface finishes study, the lowest roughness value was obtained after the combined steps of blasting and chemical etching. The blasting finish is responsible for leaving a surface with uniform roughness, while the chemical etching is responsible for cleaning the surface and reducing roughness. The samples were subjected to heat treatments at temperatures of 850 °C, 950 °C and 1050 °C for one hour followed by furnace cooling. It has been found that the higher the temperature employed, the higher the ductility of the material and, on the other hand, the lower the mechanical strength. This happened due to increased nucleation and growth of 'alfa' and 'beta' phases in the material, which initially had a structure made of hexagonal martensite ('alfa'). The condition of heat treatment at 950 ° C showed the best relation of mechanical properties, meeting the requirements of ASTM F136 for the use of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in implants / Mestrado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

Os ensaios de abrasão do tipo pino sobre lixa. Adicionalmente, também foram efetuados estudos de caracterização microestrutural para a identificação das diferentes fases presentes nas ligas. De maneira geral, a liga estudada apresentou as melhores taxas de desgaste para os tratamentos térmicos que resultaram em maiores durezas e o seu desempenho foi superior ao das ligas comerciais. / This work presents the heat treatments and abrasion tests results of a wnite cast iron with niobium alloy. The hardening heat treatment were made from 950, 1000, 1050 and 1100°C temperatures cooled by forced air. The tempering treatment were made at 450, 500 and 550°C temperatures. The heat treating alloy were compared, in the abrasive tests, with commercial alloys used as hardfacing by welding process in wear pieces. The abrasion tests was realized in pin on disk test. Additional tests were carried out for microstructural characterization to identify the differents phases presents in the alloys. In a general way, the alloy studied showed the best wear rate for the heat treatments that resulted in higher hardness. Its performance was superior than that of the commercial alloys.

A batata doce (Ipomoea batatas Lam) é um alimento considerado rica fonte de carboidratos, fibras, minerais, vitaminas e também antioxidantes como carotenóides, compostos fenólicos e antocianinas que contribuem na pigmentação natural das raízes de diferentes cultivares e cuja bioatividade tem sido associada com a proteção de células e tecidos no organismo prevenindo e reduzindo o risco de doenças crônicas. Recentemente tem sido despertado interesse pelo desenvolvimento de raízes de batata doce de polpa alaranjada, ricas fontes de carotenóides, como estratégia aliada na solução dos problemas de deficiência de vitamina A no mundo. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar as concentrações de compostos carotenóides individuais, compostos fenólicos totais e a atividade antioxidante de raízes de quatro cultivares de batata doce biofortificadas cruas e processadas mediante quatro tratamentos térmicos comuns, usando as técnicas de cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência, ensaios Folin- Ciocalteu, DPPH e ABTS, respectivamente. Adicionalmente foram feitos medições dos parâmetros de cor usando o sistema Hunter de medida na matéria prima. Todos os cultivares avaliados apresentaram altos teores de carotenóides, com predominância do All-trans--caroteno, sugerindo alta atividade estimada de vitamina A. O cultivar CNPH 1194 apresentou teores consideráveis de carotenóides. Os compostos fenólicos totais variaram entre os cultivares e os processamentos. Os tratamentos térmicos favoreceram, na maioria dos casos, diminuição significativa dos compostos bioativos avaliados, bem como da atividade antioxidante, sendo que a estabilidade destes compostos aparentou ser um fator dependente do cultivar. Houve correlações significativas entre os valores de cor instrumental e os carotenóides, assim como entre os compostos bioativos e a atividade antioxidante dos diferentes cultivares a níveis de 1 e 5%. / Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam) is rich in carbohydrates, fiber, minerals, vitamins and also antioxidants such as carotenoids, phenolic compounds and anthocyanins which provide cultivars with distinctive flesh colors. Recent epidemiological evidence suggests that antioxidants have health-promoting properties that may reduce the risk associated with chronic diseases. It has been recently awakened interest in the development of orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, rich sources of carotenoids, such as an intervention strategy of combating vitamin A deficiency in the world. This study was conducted to evaluate the accumulation of individual carotenoids, total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of roots of four cultivars of sweet potato biofortified raw and processed through four common heat treatments. Techniques of HPLC, Folin- Ciocalteu, DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydazyl) and ABTS assays, respectively were used. In addition measurements were made of color parameters using the Hunter system in raw material. All cultivars evaluated have high levels of carotenoids, predominantly All-trans--carotene, suggesting a high estimated vitamin A activity. The cultivar CNPH 1194 showed significant levels of carotenoids. The total phenolic compounds varied among cultivars and heat treatments. The heat treatments favored in most cases a significant decrease in bioactive compounds as well as the antioxidant activity and stability of these compounds appeared to be a factor dependent on the cultivar. There were significant correlations between the values of instrumental color and carotenoids, and bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of cultivars to levels of 1 and 5%.

The current study focuses on phase stability and evolution in the titanium-zinc titanium-copper and titanium-antimony systems. The study utilized the Laser Engineering Net Shaping (LENS™) processing technique to deposit compositionally graded samples of three binary system in order to allow the assessment of phase stability and evolution as a function of composition and temperature the material is subjected to. Through LENS™ processing it was possible to create graded samples from Ti-xSb (up to 13wt%) and Ti-xCu (up to 16wt%). The LENS™ deposited gradient were solutionized, and step quenched to specific aging temperature, and the resulting microstructures and phase were characterized utilizing XRD, EDS, SEM, FIB and TEM. The Ti-Zn system proved incapable of being LENS™ deposited due to the low vaporization temperature of Zn; however, a novel processing approach was developed to drip liquid Zn onto Ti powder at temperatures above β transus temperature of Ti (882 ◦C) and below the vaporization temperature of Zn (907 ◦C). The product of this processing technique was characterized in a similar way as the graded LENS™ depositions. From measurements performed on Ti-Sb it seems that Sb could be a potential α stabilizer in Ti due to the presence of a mostly homogeneous α grains throughout the gradient; however, from XRD it can be understood that a titanium antimonide phase is present. From results obtained from the Ti-Zn samples, it can be surmised that the eutectoid reaction seems to be active, i.e. The eutectoid reaction is kinetically fast, as concluded by the presence of pearlitic structures. Finally, for the Ti-Cu system this work has been attempted to prove or disprove the existence of the Ti3Cu through the use of XRD and TEM SAD patterns. From XRD spectra collected there are peaks belonging to the Ti3Cu orthorhombic phase along with Ti2Cu and α-Ti phase. In addition to the Ti-Cu system displayed structures associated with divorced eutectoid decomposition mechanism, and at low undercooling seems to be prone to forming solid state dendrites.

Wear and friction are among the major problems faced in several industries such as mining industry. This creates challenges to select better materials with good wear behavior in order to improve the service life of the components. In the present project, three steel wire grades OH 70, OH 75 and OH 101 have been heat treated by quenching and partitioning heat treatment and tested using three wear testing methods. The wear tests performed were a pin-on-disc test, dry-pot test and slurry pot-test, and the results were compared with the conventional quenched and tempered steel. Tensile tests, hardness, impact Charpy tests, scanning electron microscope, optical microscope, X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements were applied to characterize mechanical properties and microstructure of the steels before wear tests. The results showed that the quenched and partitioned steels with considerable amount of retained austenite had higher ductility and good impact toughness than the quenched and tempered steels. After the pin on disc tests, OH 75 grade showed the highest wear resistance, while the lowest wear resistance was obtained by OH 70 grade. The damage mechanisms identified after pin-on-disc were abrasion and oxidative wear. During erosive wear, almost no measurable wear was recorded under the dry pot conditions, while the slurry pot test owned significant wear mass loss. The main modes of the worn surfaces after erosive tests were ploughing and cutting. In addition, cracks were also observed.

The thesis deals with methodology for computational approaches for numerical simulations of welding and heat treatment of aluminium alloys. The thesis describes improvement of the current methodology for metallurgical part of the numerical analysis of welding, which is important mainly for prediction of dimensions of the heat affected zone (and deformations). The improvement was carried out based on CHD diagram that describes precipitation and dissolution of phases during continuous heating. The thesis also describes carried material measurements (measurement of chemical composition, dilatometric tests, tensile tests of several conditions of materials at temperatures up to 500 °C and measurement of aging curves), which allowed to significantly refine analysis results for the alloys EN AW-5083 and EN AW-6082. Based on an evaluation of the measurements, several conclusions were made. They can be useful for creation of material databases of other aluminium alloys. The thesis also describes quantification of dependence between tensile strength and yield strength on the Vickers hardness for different conditions of EN AW-6082. There is also methodology for numerical simulation of the heat treatment process of heat treatable Al alloys in the dissertation. The methodology is completely new approach which has never been published so far. Application of this method is based on user changes of the material database in software Sysweld after relatively easy measurement of aging curves. Therefore, the methodology can be considered as promising for application in industrial practice.
