Aluminium composites are extensively used in several industrial applications. The production of Metal Matrix Composite (MMCs) with varying wt. % reinforcement/s leads to enhancement wear and mechanical behavior. In the present work, TiB2 constant CeO2 particulates were reinforced Al6061 alloy manufacture hybrid Al MMCs by Vortex (Stircasting) technique. Developed hotrolled at 515°C temperature....

The presentation is to results recently obtained in collaborative research in the European steel programme performed by Fraunhofer-IZFP and co-operative steel industry producing rolling products. The objective was and is to characterize i.e. to predict mechanical properties like hardness, yield strength, tensile strength, deep drawing parameters rm and ∆r, etc., mainly online by use of contact-...

This study evaluated the Knoop hardness of Enforce resin cement activated by the either chemical/physical or physical mode, and light cured directly and through ceramic (HeraCeram) or composite resin (Artglass). Light curing were performed with either conventional halogen light (QTH; XL2500) for 40 s or xenon plasma arc (PAC; Apollo 95E) for 3 s. Bovine incisors had their buccal surfaces flatte...

In this study, electrochemical deposition of Ni-SiC-Gr nano composites was studied. The Watts bath was used for electrodeposition. The SiC and graphite powders were suspended in the electrolyte and stirred. The effects of changes in bath stirring rate on the composite coating were investigated. The X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field emission scanning electron ...

Semi organic nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal L-Lysine 4-nitrophenolate (LLPNP) monohydrate was grown by slow evaporation technique. The grown LLPNP crystal was subjected to single crystal X-ray diffraction. Solubility of the LLPNP was carried out for different temperature. Thermal stability of the grown material was carried out by TG/DTA analysis. The hardness of the material was found by Vicke...

Ultrasonic shot peening (USP) studied. Several parameters (arc heights, surface roughness topography and micro hardness) with different parameters were measured. The research proposes curvature of shot peened sheet increases with time decreasing, while increases with pin diameter increasing, and curvature reaches a saturation level after a specific electric current. An empirical model of the re...

The performance of components produced by conventional route of a thermo mechanical process and those produced by continuous casting is interesting from different aspects of economy and technology. The performance of products in their service depends on their properties which are strongly influenced by production routes. In the present work the hardness, tensile and tensile-impact behaviors of ...
