Hybrid composites recently developed as highly effective, high-strength structural materials that are increasingly used. Aluminum matrix hybrid strengthened with ceramic particulates commonly used in marine, aerospace, and defense applications because of their exceptional properties. Zirconia-reinforced favored these display high refractory properties, excellent abrasion resistance, chemical re...

INTRODUCTION Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is characterized by tooth pain arising from exposure of dental roots. In this study the efficiency of neodymium yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser in association with graphite on dentinal surface changes as the alternative to the treatment of DH was evaluated. METHODS Sixteen noncarious human third molars were collected and sectioned into 5 parts ...

Compared to C60, carbon nanotubes, and graphite, graphene more effectively lowers the dehydrogenation temperature and improves the dehydrogenation kinetics of LiAlH4. With 15 wt% graphene incorporation, the initial hydrogen release temperature is ~80 °C (60 °C lower than that of pristine LiAlH4).

A series of Al-4Ti master alloys with various TiAl₃ particles were prepared via pouring the pure aluminum added with K₂TiF₆ or sponge titanium into three different molds made of graphite, copper, and sand. The microstructure and morphology of TiAl₃ particles were characterized and analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The microstructure of TiA...

In the aerospace industry, it is often necessary to join metal and composite parts. Composites are used when minimizing weight is important, and joining the materials by an adhesive layer rather than heavy metal fasteners further reduces the weight of the structure. Unfortunately, it is difficult to produce high reliability adhesive bonds between these materials due to both the differences in p...

in this study, al/gr composites with 5,10,15,20 weight percent of graphite were produced by in-situ powder metallurgy method. the produced powder mixtures were consolidated and sintered at optimum conditions. the resultant composites were solution treated at 495?c and aged at 170?c. the influence of graphite content on the bending strength of composites was studied. the distribution of graphite...

Samples of 53 materials that are used or potentially can be used or in the fabrication of microelectromechanical systems and integrated circuits were prepared: single-crystal silicon with two doping levels, polycrystalline silicon with two doping levels, polycrystalline germanium, polycrystalline SiGe, graphite, fused quartz, Pyrex 7740, nine other preparations of silicon dioxide, four preparat...
