Neste trabalho, o processo de deposição da liga Zn-Co foi estudado através da técnica de voltametria cíclica para kientificar as regiões de potenciais para a deposição dos constituintes da liga. A seguir, foram simuladas variações composicionais e operacionais do eletrólito para deposição da liga Zn-Co, normalmente observadas em linhas de produção. Adicionalmente, além das variações do eletrólito, foram estudadas amostras de peças (ferro fundido nodular como substrato) obtidas em condições adversas de processamento. O objeti,vo foi estudar a influência desses parâmetros na composição final do depósito, e na resistência à corrosão através de ensaios acelerados em câmara de névoa salina. O processo para deposição da líga Zn-Co apresentou boa estabilidade e', baixa sensibilidade às variações de concentração que podem ocorrer no cotidiano de uma linha de produção. Os ensaios em célula de Hull mostraram que variações deliberadas de 2 g.L-1 a 8 g.L-1 de Co (II) no banho produzem depósitos com 0,6 % a 1,6 % de Co na liga. Na faixa recomendada de trabalho de 4 g.L-1 a 6 g.L-1. obtém-se 0,9 % a 1,2 %. Os ensaios acelerados de corrosão em câmara de névoa salina mostraram que, mesmo nas condições mais improváveis de funcionamento, onde o teor de cobalto pode cair para 0,6 %, a camada resiste a mais de 500 horas de ensaio. Tempo de ensaio de 720 horas foi obtido quando [Zn(II)]=46 g.L-1 e [Co(II)]=4,6 g.L-1. ou seja, [Zn(II)]/[Co(II)]=10 / Abstract: Zinc alloy coatings have found large application in the metal finishing índustry, particularly for coatíng automotive parts. In thís work, the deposítíon of Zn-Co process was characterízed by cyclic voltammetry in order to identify the rangCe of deposition potential of the alloy and its constituents. Then, variations of deposition parameters and bath composition were símulated in order to study their influence on the coating properties. In addition, beside plating variation, samples produced under qnideal process condítion were studied. The plating bath presented good stability and low sensibility to variations usually observed in the industrial production. Hull-cell, experiments shown that, despite the deliberated changes in bath composítion, ,cobalt concentration in the alloy is always wíthín the range of 0,6 % to 1,6 %. Recommended values are from 0,9 % to 1,2 %. Salt spray tests shown that the Zn-Co coating lasted 500 h of test and, in the optimum deposition conditions, 720 h was obtained / Mestrado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

O uso de moldes-protótipo é uma opção para a obtenção de protótipos funcionais de peças de plástico injetadas. Estes protótipos devem possuir características mecânicas e físicas as mais próximas possíveis das peças finais obtidas em moldes de produção. A fim de diminuir o custo e o tempo de fabricação destes moldes, materiais alternativos, tais como o alumínio e ligas de zinco, podem ser empregados. Os diferentes níveis de condutividade térmica desses materiais resultam em diferentes taxas de resfriamento do polímero, o que pode influenciar nas propriedades mecânicas do moldado. O objetivo geral deste trabalho é entender a influência do material do molde-protótipo (zamac-8) e também da variação da temperatura do molde (TMolde) e da temperatura do fundido (TFund) nas propriedades mecânicas do moldado em Polipropileno (PP). Pretende-se então averiguar se existem parâmetros de temperatura que possam permitir a obtenção de protótipos funcionais com características próximas as de peças injetadas em molde de aço. O efeito do material zamac-8, da TMolde e da TFund sobre as propriedades do moldado foi avaliado através da comparação com um moldado injetado em um molde em aço. As técnicas de caracterização das amostras incluíram os ensaios de tração, impacto e calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC). Os resultados mostraram que o molde- protótipo em zamac-8 possui influência significativa somente para a energia de impacto. Com a variação da TMolde e da TFund foram obtidos moldados com diferentes propriedades no molde-protótipo em zamac-8, confirmando a influência da variação destes fatores sobre o moldado. Desta forma, foi possível criar um modelo de regressão onde através da otimização dessas temperaturas é possível predizer um resultado. Assim, para este estudo, foi possível diminuir a influência do uso do zamac-8 sobre o moldado, sendo que a regressão mostrou-se uma ferramenta importante na busca de protótipos funcionais com propriedades mecânicas mais próximas do produto final. / The use of prototype tooling is an option to obtain functional prototype of injection molded plastic parts. These prototypes should have mechanical and physical characteristics as close as possible to the final parts obtained in production molds. In order to reduce manufacturing cost and time of these molds, alternative materials, such as aluminum and zinc alloys, can be employed. The difference in thermal conductivity of these materials results in a variation of the cooling rates, which can influence the mechanical properties of the moldings. The main objective of this work is to understand the influence of the prototype tooling material (zamak-8) and also the variation of mold temperature (TMold) and the melt temperature (TMelt) on the mechanical properties of Polypropylene (PP). The idea is then to verify if these temperature parameters may allow obtaining functional prototypes with similar characteristics to the PP injected in a steel mold. The influence of the zamak-8 material and the TMold and TMelt on the properties of the molding was studied by comparison with the molding injected in a steel mold. The characterization techniques used were tensile and impact tests and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the prototype tooling using zamak-8 has a significant influence only in the impact energy. By varying the TMold and TMelt, moldings injected in the prototype tooling with zamak-8 were obtained with different properties, confirming the influence of these parameters on the molding. In this way, a regression model was developed where, by optimizing these temperatures, it is possible to predict a result. Thus, in this study it was possible to reduce the influence of the zamak-8 on the molded, and regression was shown to be an important tool in the search for functional prototypes closer mechanical properties of the final product.

A razão da existência de um molde-protótipo é de se obter rapidamente um injetado com o mesmo material e utilizando o mesmo processo de fabricação do produto final, com baixo custo. Seus injetados podem servir como protótipos, lotes pilotos, pré-séries ou ainda cobrirem a necessidade de uma baixa demanda de produto ou de pequenos lotes. Critérios de manufaturabilidade e de qualidades mecânicas são importantes na fabricação do molde-protótipo. Entretanto, além destes critérios, este molde deve ser capaz de produzir um injetado com qualidade semelhante ao produto injetado em um molde convencional. Observa-se, no entanto, que são escassos os estudos referentes à utilização de material alternativo para molde-protótipo e a influência deste material no produto injetado. Desta forma, o objetivo principal deste estudo é caracterizar um molde-protótipo usinado em liga de zinco (zamac-8), através da análise das propriedades físicas (Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura com Energia Dispersiva de Raio-X, MEV-EDS) e mecânicas (Ensaios de Tração e Flexão) do polipropileno (PP) injetado nesta ferramenta e compará-lo ao injetado em aço. Os resultados demonstram que o PP injetado em zamac-8 possui características similares ao moldado em aço, sem apresentar contaminação. Assim, este material pode ser recomendado para esta finalidade. / The reason for the existence of a prototype mold is to obtain a quickly injected with the same material and using the same manufacturing process of the final product with low cost. Their models can serves as prototypes, pilot batches, preseries or the need to cover a lower demand for products or small batches. Criteria for manufacturability and mechanical qualities are important in the manufacture of prototype mold, but these criteria are only valid if this mold is capable of producing injected with a similar quality to the product injected into a conventional mold. However, there are few studies concerning the use of alternative material for prototype mold and the influence of that material into the product injected. Thus, the main objective of this study is to characterize a prototype mold machined in zinc alloy (Zamak-8), by analyzing the physical properties and mechanical properties of the polypropylene (PP) injected into this tool and compare it injected into the steel. The results show that the PP injected into zamac-8 has characteristics similar to the injected in steel mold, without contamination. Thus, this material can be recommended for the purpose for injection mold.

Aim of the present work was to explore the possibility of improving strength of cast Mg by alloying additions, viz., Si and Zn+Al. All the alloys were produced by squeeze casting technique using squeeze pressure of 12MPa and their microstructure, tensile and corrosion properties were studied. Mg-Si system was chosen because the intermetallic compound Mg2Si possesses many desirable properties, such as, low density, high hardness, high melting point. Hence, there is scope for improving the strength of Mg by dispersion of primary Mg2Si particles. Addition of Si to Mg resulted in the formation of �-Mg, particles of primary Mg2Si and eutectic as microstructural constituents. The morphology of primary Mg2Si changed from polyhedral shaped particles to dendrites as Si content was increased from 3.57 to 5.5 wt%. Volume fraction of primary Mg2Si increased with increase in Si content. Particle size of primary Mg2Si also increased with increase in silicon content but at the same time it was found to be dependent on melt temperature, i.e., a lower particle size was obtained at higher melt temperatures. Addition of Al and Sr was made to Mg-2Si alloy in order to further increase the strength by solid solution strengthening and refinement/modification of primary Mg2Si particles/eutectic. Addition of 1.2 wt% Al to Mg-2Si alloy resulted in irregular type of morphology of Mg2Si particles and increased particle size. Addition of 0.2 wt% SrtoMg-2Si-1.2Al alloy resulted in slight refinement of primary Mg2Si particles and modification of eutectic. Addition of 0.4 wt% Sr resulted in both refinement and restoration of morphology of Mg2Si particles from irregular to polyhedral shape. This was accompanied by destruction of eutectic, and rods containing Mg, Si, Al and Sr were observed. The addition of 1.33 wt%Si to Mg resulted in improvement in 0.2%PS by about 80 MPa,UTS by about 40MPa and these values did not change much till the addition of 3.57 wt% Si. A drop in the strength values was observed at Si content of 5.5 wt%,where transition in morphology of primary Mg2Si occurred from polyhedral to dendrite. Addition of Si resulted in reduction in % elongation by about 2%. The addition of Al and Sr did not change the tensile properties of binary Mg-2Si alloy much. It was concluded that the volume fraction and size of primary Mg2Siparticles obtained with Si addition up to 3.57 wt% did not contribute much to strength and the strengthening mainly came from the eutectic present in the matrix. As Si content was increased to 5.5 wt% in order to increase the volume fraction of primary Mg2Si particles, the morphology of Mg2Si changed to dendritic type resulting in reduction in strength. Thus, the maximum increase in strength is achieved at near eutectic composition,i.e.,intheMg-1.33Sialloy,andfurtherincreaseinstrengthdoesnotseem to be feasible with this alloy system. The ductility of all the Mg-Si based alloys was also low, i.e, 0.5% elongation to fracture or less. Regarding the corrosion behaviour, the addition of Si to Mg deteriorated the corrosion resistance and the addition of Al and Sr further worsened it. Since further improvement in tensile properties did not seem feasible with Mg-Si alloy system, the focus was shifted to Mg-Zn-Al alloy system. There is scope for improvement in strength in Mg-Zn-Al alloy system by solid solution strengthening, grain refinement and precipitation hardening. It was observed that the addition of Zn and Al resulted in microstructure containing α-Mg grains and secondary phase at the grain boundary. XRD analysis showed the secondary phase to be Al5Mg11Zn4 but EDS analysis did not match with this composition. Therefore, the nature of this phase remains uncertain. Addition of 6 wt% Zn and 1 wt% Al resulted in improvement in strength as well as ductility: 0.2%PS improved by about 70 MPa, UTS by about 100 MPa and % elongation by about 7%. Addition of small amounts of Caresultedinrefinementofmicrostructurecausingimprovementinstrengthwithout much decrease in % elongation. Increase in Al content from 1 to 4 wt% resulted in increase in 0.2%PS but UTS slightly decreased, as % elongation reduced. Alloys subjected to T6 heat treatment showed improvement in strength but slight reduction in % elongation. ZA64 alloy in T6 condition gave 130 MPa 0.2%PS, 225 MPa UTS and 4.9% elongation, which are much higher tensile properties as compared Mg-Si alloys. All the three mechanisms mentioned above contribute to the strengthening. There is scope for further improvement in strength by employing a more suitable heat treatment. Regarding corrosion behaviour, addition of 6 wt% Zn and 1 wt% of Al to Mg did not deteriorate its corrosion resistance much. Addition of small amounts of Ca was found to be beneficial for corrosion resistance, whereas an increase in Al content lowered the corrosion resistance. Heat treatment also reduced the corrosion resistance.
