Purpose: Acrylic dentures frequently fracture during service due totheir poor strength characteristics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding 5%, 10% and 15% aluminum oxide powder on the flexural strength, surface hardness of a conventional heat-polymerized acrylic resin. Materials and methods: One of the commonly used conventional heat cure denture base resin (DPI) and hi...

Magnesium based metal matrix composites (MMCs) have been extensively studied as an attractive choice for automotive and aerospace applications due to their low density and superior specific properties including strength, stiffness and creep resistance. Xi et al [1] studied the Ti6Al-4V particulate (TAp) reinforced magnesium matrix composite which is fabricated by powder metallurgy route. The te...

Damage to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) during the fabrication process of CNT reinforced composites has great influence on their mechanical properties. In this study, the 2014 Al with powder sizes of 20, 9 and 5 μm was selected to study the effect of initial particle size on the damage to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) during ball milling. The result shows that for CNTs in the ball milled CNT/Al (with powde...

A new approach in the method of depositing an external lubricant on the die walls of a powder metallurgy press has been developed which allows the compaction of parts from mixes with no or minimal lubricant content. By heating the die to moderate temperatures (70°C 100°C) and using new composite lubricants, optimum thickness lubricant layers can be deposited allowing the compaction-ejection of ...

The growing demand for metal-based materials in the manufacturing industry has prompted development of composite that have better mechanical and physical properties than single materials. be done order to obtain new properties. research was conducted using a powder metallurgy process, by varying compressive force holding time determine effect combination compression on composites. variations ar...

Since the first laboratory experiments of M. Carey Lea and the original definition by F. W. Ostwald at the end of the 19th century, mechanochemistry, a field treating chemical changes induced in substances as a result of applied mechanical stress, has been evolved as an important area of chemistry from the viewpoint of both the fundamental research and applications (Takacs, 2004; Boldyrev & Tka...

In order to evaluate the uniform of SiCp reinforced aluminum metal-matrix composites (MMC) fabricated by powder metallurgy, the ultrasonic velocity imaging was carried out with the method of thickness independent reflector plate (TIRP). Ultrasonic velocity in MMC can be used to calculate the stiffness constants and Yang’s modulus, which are influenced by the volume percentage of SiCp. The TIRP ...

Introduction Heat transport in particulate materials is an essential component of modern technologies such as high performance cryogenic insulation, heterogeneous catalytic reactors, construction material and powder metallurgy. In catalyst manufacturing, heat transfer through granular media occurs in the drying and calcination stages. In this paper, we describe experiments and particle dynamics...

The product resulting from the powder metallurgy process has advantages in terms of mechanical properties and physical properties. Material engineering by mixing several types metal powders is very possible to do. composition this metallurgical material a mixture aluminum (80%), copper (15%) silicon carbide (5%) weight then compacted with compaction load gradually, starting 3 tons, holding for ...

Segregation and chemical inhomogeneity are well-known problems in powder metallurgy and are also an issue for new applications of powder mixtures, for example as starting materials for severe plastic deformation. In this study, Cu-coated Fe powder was prepared via immersion deposition, inductively hot-pressed and subsequently deformed using high-pressure torsion. The homogeneity of the pressed ...
