Abstract
High energetic aluminum nanoparticles are mainly used as additive in solid rocket propellants. However,
fabrication of these aluminized energetic materials is associated with decreasing the burning rate of propellants due
to problems such as oxidation and agglomeration of nanoparticles. In this study, to improve combustion performance
of aluminum nanoparticles, coating by metallic Ni shell was studied. Nickel coating of aluminum nanoparticles was
performed through electroless deposition (ED) subsequently, morphology and chemical composition of Ni-coated
nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM),
energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). These studies show that a uniform Ni layer with a
thickness of 10nm is coated on the surface of Al nanoparticles. Thermal analysis of uncoated and Ni-coated aluminum
nanoparticles was done using differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The results
of thermal analysis indicate that, coating the aluminum particles by Ni, leads to improvement in combustion
performance of aluminum nanoparticles through decreasing critical ignition temperature, ignition delay time of the
nanoparticles and promoting the ignition by exothermic chemical reactions between Al and Ni

Abstract
Novelty: Most of the open literature research has focused on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of AA2050 alloy. Also, a significant study discusses the corrosion behavior of AA2050 alloy based on immersion and electrochemical characteristics. The influence of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir processed AA2050 alloy is scarcely discussed in the open literature. The hot salt corrosion characteristics of friction stir processed AA2050 seldom exists in the available literature. This study concentrates on microhardness, tensile strength, and corrosion properties of friction stir processed AA2050. Also, the work focuses on the influence of artificial aging on the microhardness, and tensile strength of the friction stir processed AA2050.
