An Investigation was conducted to produce Aluminium based Functionally graded material (FGM) composites by Friction stir processing (FSP). A reinforcement strategy featuring the use of Alumina and TiC reinforcements investigated, where holes were drilled in an plate, filled with stirred using FSP. mathematical model formulated for positioning such a manner that composition varies from maximum m...

We have investigated a series of high performance metal-matrix composites (MMCs), in order to improve mechanical and thermal properties such composites. To fabricate composites, we used spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. Using this processing, would minimize or avoid some risks damaging filler surfaces during processing. In article, also introduced are various kinds MMCs, metal/intermetallic...

As with the consolidation time, the cooling rate applied during the solidification stage of the composite processing cycle influences the total processing cycle time, as well as the mechanical performance. By controlling the solidification rate, changes in the matrix morphology and crystallinity can be achieved, and hence different mechanical properties may be obtained. Control of the solidific...

Dispersing nanoparticles in a polymer matrix is intrinsically challenging due to unfavorable entropic interactions between the matrix and the nanoparticle. In this research dispersion of nanoparticles in polymer matrix was studied and the effect of dispersion on properties was investigated. The properties of polymer composite depend on the type, size, shape, concentration of nanoparticles, and ...
