The research of this thesis was done to investigate the effects of polishing a shot-peened specimen of Ti-6Al-4V on the fretting fatigue life of that specimen. The shot-peening process, though one of the most beneficial techniques in prolonging fretting fatigue life, creates a textured surface that may lead to problems on the micro level. This research was done in an attempt to further improve the peening process by examining the effects of another surface treatment to be used in conjunction, surface polishing. The rough peened surface may contain abrupt changes in surface geometry that act as stress risers, which are …

Journal of Electrochemistry

A two-layered structure of eutectic-solid sulotion is formed in the microstructure of Pb-Sn alloy obtained from quasi-two-dimensional electrodeposition.It is showed that this unique structure is caused by the variation of the current density on the growth interface.When the interface is located in the front of the whole deposits,the current density is high.So the Pb and Sn can deposit together and the eutectic texture forms.When the interface is in the rear of the whole deposits,the current density is low.At this moment the electrodeposition of Pb is the dominant reaction,and the Pb-based solid solution appears.
