The study examined the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Mg-Si alloy reinforced with palm kernel shell ash (PKSA) silicon carbide (SiC). matrix was SiC (2 - 8 wt.%) PKSA wt.%). double stir-casting method used to prepare hybrid composite. produced samples were evaluated based on ASTM standards. Identification phases present in composite done using a PANalytical Empyrean diffractomet...

In this experimental research, an attempt is made to develop Al2214-B4Cp composite materials with reinforcement of micro boron carbide (B4Cp) (viz. 0, 1.5, 3, 4.5, and 6 wt.%) by using a novel liquid metallurgical stir casting technique modified bottom pouring facilities studying the microstructure, physical, mechanical, dry sliding wear resistance responses. The microstructure samples varied w...

Abstract This research reports on the microstructural characterization and nanomechanical evaluation of hybrid aluminium-based composite, fabricated by reinforcing pure aluminium matrix with zirconia (ZrO 2 ) ferrotitanium (TiFe) particles. The composites were consolidated using spark plasma sintering technique, properties reinforced examined compared samples same parameters. formation new phas...

Electron Rutherford back scattering (ERBS) is a new spectroscopy for determining the composition of surfaces. In this work the surface sensitivity of ERBS was investigated by changing the entrance and exit angle of the electron beam while keeping the scattering angle constant. It was found that in this way the surface sensitivity of the technique can be varied considerably. We use aluminium as ...
