Dry sliding wear performance of an annealed TiNi alloy with differentnickel contents
The wear behaviour of the TiNi alloy tested at different conditions (2 and 4Nas applied loads and 40,50 an 60 wt%as nickel contents) was investigated. For this purpose, two main experimentaltechniques consisting of wear and indentation tests were used. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)and laser source profilometry were employed to reveal the wear mechanisms and the affected wornsurfaces. Furthermore, design of experiments planning introducing factorial design as well as responsesurface was adopted to attempt predicting the coefficient friction according to the planned testparameters. Nanoindentation results showed that all the TiNi alloys are harder than a TA6V4 alloywhich is commonly used in dental implant. Particularly, the TiNi60 alloy exhibited superiorsuperelasticity, characterized by a lower E/Hratio and a higher depth recovery ratio than the TA6V4alloy. Besides, the wear rates underwent a substantial increase with the increase of the applied load buta decrease with increasing the Ni content. The worn surfaces analyses revealed an enhanced resistanceto adhesive and abrasive wear with increasing nickel content. Voir les détails

Surface performances of Ti-6Al-4V substrates coated PVD multilayered filmsin biological environments
Multilayered and nanostructured coatings of Ti based alloys (oxides and nitrides) are elaborated and tested for increasing protective properties such as corrosion and wear resistances. A pin-on-disc tribometer was used to evaluate the wear resistance in Hank's solution against bovine bone. Corrosion behavior in Hank's solution was determined by potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. Besides, the specimen surfaces were characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) microanalyses. The results showed that optimal tribological properties were obtained in the case of coatings having TiN as top layer. The main wear mechanism was abrasive third bodywear. In vitro corrosion tests at 37 °C showed that the better corrosion resistance was obtained when TiN was the top layer. However all of them exhibited good tribological properties, good corrosion resistance and then may be promising options for biomedical applications. Voir les détails

Conception d’un autopilote pour un drone léger type quadri-rotor
This dissertation is divided into two important parts: the first part is dedicated to the establishment of the dynamic quadrotor model to study its stability and control under MATLAB. The second part is reserved for the realization of an autopilot card for the quadrotor that should be compatible with Arduino MEGA development board. This card must be able to acquire and process information from the MPU6050 and GPS sensors in real time, to order and control the quadrotor. The results obtained by the sensors must be displayed on a graphical interface representing the ground station. Voir les détails

Etude du pouvoir inhibiteur de l’extrait de la Spergularia ruba(sabline rouge) vis-à-vis de la corrosion de l’acier X70 dans une solution acide HCl 1M
Some organic compounds are considered as effective inhibitors for the corrosion of steels in the acid medium, when they are added in low concentrations; they can reduce or stop the corrosion of the exposed metal. Their operating principle is based on the protection of the metal of its environment. In this work we were interested in the study of the effect of the Spergularia ruba extract on the corrosion of X70 steel in a molar solution of hydrochloric acid at 25 ° C. Inhibitory efficiency and mode of action were evaluated by both gravimetric and electrochemical methods. The results obtained showed that the efficiency exceeds 82% for a maximum concentration of 560 mg / L, and increases with immersion time at room temperature. Voir les détails

Elaboration des nanoparticules métalliques par co-précipitation et caractérisation structurale
Nanoparticles are now part of everyday life; researchers have developed new tools with their structural and magnetic properties interesting for various fields ranging from health as well as the environment. The objective of this study is the elaboration of metallic nanoparticles in order to optimize the working conditions and the properties of these nanoparticles, and the structural and magnetic characterization. We used a weakest and least expensive synthesis method that co-precipitates. We found that pH value, working temperature, and precursor nature influence particle size, morphology, chemical composition, and magnetic behavior. We have shown that increasing pH, temperature, and sulfide-type precursor utilization decreased the size of nanoparticles and led to improved properties such as chemical composition, morphology, and saturation magnetization.

Effet de déformation par pliage sur le comportement à la corrosion de l’acier duplex 2205
The effect of cold deforming by folding on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of austenoferritic stainless steel (duplex 2205) has been studied in this work. Duplex 2205 offers a good compromise between the toughness of austenitic steels and the mechanical and corrosion resistance of ferritic steels. We deformed the duplex steel by bending it at different levels (12, 25, 40 and 50%). The effect of the deformation on the microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated by the various experimental technics; microhardness; metallography, SEM. The relationship between increasing deformation and corrosion resistance was investigated by electrochemical tests. The results showed that cold working modifies the internal microstructure of both phases and that high cold forming rates have a detrimental effect on the corrosion resistance of duplex steels.

Etude expérimentale des vitesses et d’atténuation d’un polymère semi cristallin PEHD par des méthodes ultrasonores
Semi-crystalline polymers are materials that permeate our daily lives, and are used in a wide range of applications, generally when viscoelasticity is required. Therefore, numerous works of research have been conducted these last years to study their elastic properties. Since then, we propose the use of nondestructive analysis techniques based on detecting and spreading ultra sound waves with both immersion and contact. The results obtained on the analyzed materials presents us with good estimates judged to be very satisfying compared to literature. Measures of the velocity and mitigation of longitudinal and transverse ultra sound waves have been conducted on two samples of different thickness of a semi-crystalline polymer of the type PEHD. The experiments have been conducted in ambient temperature. The objective is the characterization of this polymer using ultra sound waves. Voir les détails

Influence de l’énergie de soudage sur la microstructure et la résistance à la corrosion de l’acier inoxydable Lean duplex UNS S32101
Duplex stainless steels are widely used in industry, because their two-phase structure with equivalent fractions in austenite and ferrite gives them very interesting mechanical properties and high resistance to different types of corrosion. However, the use of these steels is limited by their sensitivity to the formation of hazardous intermetallic phases with adverse effects on hardness and corrosion resistance. It is a weakening of the material that is visible under certain welding conditions. The subject deals with the study of a welding process applied Lean duplex stainless steel, LDX 2101 to a nickel-reduced stainless steel and aims to show the influence of the experimental parameters (03 energies) on the microstructural and stress corrosion resistance properties ( CSC) of the weld joint Voir les détails

Effet des traitements thermiques sur le comportement microstructural et mécanique de l’acier inoxydable Lean duplex 2101 lors du vieillissement
As part of this project of memory we propose by this work a study on the microstructural and mechanical behavior of a stainless steel Lean Duplex LDSS 2101 during heat treatments realized in two stages: a treatment of dissolution at a temperature of 1050 ° C for one hour then water quenching, followed by an aging treatment at 720 ° C at different holding times (T = 10min, 60min, 10h, 24h, 120h, 240h) followed by quenching to water.The different samples are metallurgically characterized by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD analysis was used to identify the phases and precipitates formed during the treatments. Thermal treatments have significantly affected the phase equilibrium of stainless steel, caused by nitrides and carbides precipitation phenomena.Micromechanical characterization was performed by nano-indentation tests for the measurement of hardness and Young's modulus for each phase for the different samples.
