in this study, ultrafine grained 2024 al alloy based b4c particles reinforced composite was produced by mechanical milling and hot extrusion. mechanical milling was used to synthesize the nanostructured al2024 in attrition mill under argon atmosphere up to 50h. a similar process was used to produce al2024-5%wt. b4c composite powder. to produce trimodal composites, milled powders were combined w...

in this research, al-ni particle composite strips are formed by accumulative roll bonding (arb) process using al strips and ni powder. the rule of arb cycles and volume percentage (vol%) of ni powder on the microstructure, wear resistance and mechanical properties of the formed composites are investigated. according to the tensile test results, the yield stress and tensile strengths of the al -...

A computer model for the sintering of ceramic/polymer composite materials has been established based on empirical sintering rate data. The model calculates sintering depths which result from variations in the operating parameters which include laser power, beam speed, scan spacing, scan vector length, and initial temperatures of the powder and surroundings. Sintering depths measured in multiple...

We have studied the effects of using a composite fabricated from carbon nanotubes and a host polymer, poly~m-phenylene-vinylene-co-2,5-dioctyloxy-p-phenylene-vinylene! ~PmPV!, as an electron-transport layer in organic light-emitting diodes. Double layer devices using this composite as an electron-transport layer, triple layer devices with a composite electron-transport layer, and poly~9-vinylca...

The recent patents on corrosion resistant coatings were reviewed in this paper. The materials of corrosion resistant components, e.g., metals and alloys, ceramics, polymers as well as composite materials, developed for environmental, economic and other concerns were discussed. In addition, the novel methods for forming the coatings, including the powder floating by vibration and the precursor g...
