In the present study, pure aluminium alloy is mixed with 12% SiC on weight basis to fabricate the metal matrix composite (MMC) material. The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of process parameters such as pulse on time(Ton), peak current (Ip) and flushing pressure (Fp) on metal removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR) and surface roughness (SR) during electrical discharge mac...

In the submitted paper the water disinfection capacity of the microalloyed aluminium based composite (MABC) was studied. MABC is material in the form of steel wire, plated with microalloyed aluminium. The effects of the composite are based on the very negative stationary potential of microalloyed aluminium, and its spontaneous dissolution in water with generation of AI(III) ions, and reduction ...

A discontinuously reinforced MMC containing 12 vol % Sic particles in an Al-Cu-Mg alloy (AA 2124) matrix has been diffusion bonded. Thick interlayers of different superplastic aluminium alloys (Al-Li 8090 and A1-Cu SUPRAL) were used to reduce the bonding pressure and ensure complete surface contact. Microstructural studies shown higher continuity in joints bonded with 8090 interlayer than with ...

The economy is very important feature nowadays in the market. The researches are playing an important role in engineering field to increase the life of machine parts / components and decrease the cost. The composite materials have the potential to replace widely used steel and aluminium due to their good characteristics with better performance. The Al-based composites have found extensive appli...

Due to their lightweight, new classes of materials including aluminium-based Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) have been popular in recent years various industries aircraft and automobiles. Because its low cost ease availability, aluminium alloy (LM13) MMCs were developed using Rice husk ash (RHA) as reinforcement this study rather than traditional composites prepared the stir casting technique. L...

Aluminium metal matrix composites are widely used in engineering applications, specially automobile, aerospace, marine and mineral processing industries owing to their improved wear properties compared to conventional monolithic aluminium alloys. Presently hybrid composites plays vital role in engineering application. The researchers who developed composites, were subjected to many characterisa...

Polymer-clay nano-composite materials, in which nano-meter thick layers of clay dispersed in polymer matrix, have generally higher mechanical properties than normal polymeric materials. A new three-dimensional unit cell model has been developed for modeling three constituent phases including inclusion, interphase and matrix. The total elastic modulus of nano-composite is evaluated.  Numerical r...

This study concerns with the optimisation of a fibre-reinforced composite material ply book and application to an aeronautical component. The presented solution is recyclable FML (Fibre Metal Laminate). Recyclable structural PMCs (Polymeric Matrix Composites) developed up-to now in ENEA had be improved satisfy high-demanding fire characteristics requirements aeronautics, particularly for case c...

Aluminium matrix composites (AlMCs) of AA7075 aluminium alloy reinforced with 0.5 and 1 wt.% multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated powder metallurgy techniques using three different mechanical milling strategies, varying the energy stage in which reinforcements added to pre-alloyed powders. In this paper, we focus on influence these parameters dispersion MWCNTs. Characterization o...
