By hot extrusion at 250°C and electrical pulse treatment (EPT) of 40 ?s duration 10 min processing time, a homogeneous matrix microstructure with an average grain size 0.91 ?m abundant Mg17Al12 phase was obtained in SiCp/AZ91 magnesium composite. Moreover, SiCp were helpful to promote the accumulation crystal defects precipitation phase. After 250°C, yield strength (YS) ultimate tensile (UTS) c...

The Steady state creep behaviour of a functionally graded cylinder made of isotropic composite containing varying distribution of silicon carbide particles has been investigated by a mathematical model. The creep behaviour of the FGM is described by a Norton's Power law. The effect of varying distribution of SiCP particles of creep stresses and creep rates in the FGM cylinder has been anal...

Strains of the various Salmonella enterica serovars cause gastroenteritis or typhoid fever in humans, with virulence depending on the action of two type III secretion systems (Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 [SPI-1] and SPI-2). SptP is a Salmonella SPI-1 effector, involved in mediating recovery of the host cytoskeleton postinfection. SptP requires a chaperone, SicP, for stability and secretio...

The synthesis of agro-waste reinforced metal matrix composites is now very common among researchers because their cost effectiveness, excellent properties and wide industrial applications. This study synthesized a hybrid aluminium 6061 composite with particulates silicon carbide, SiCp carbonized coconut shell, CCSP as reinforcement combined in the ratio 1:1, determined effect combining CCSp rei...
