The synthesis of AlN and TiB2 by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and the effect of Nb2O5, Y2O3 and ZrO2 additions on the mechanical properties and densification of the produced composites is reported and discussed. After the SPS process, dense AlN and TiB2 composites with Nb2O5, Y2O3 and ZrO2 were successfully prepared. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that in the AlN composites, the addition of ...

in this research, surface composite layers containing nano sized tib2, al2o3-tib2, zro2 and cnt particles have been fabricated on aluminum alloy substrates by friction stir processing. the effects of different processing variables such as number of passes and strengthening particle distribution, hardness, and wear properties of surface nanocomposite layers have been evaluated by electron micros...

Monolithic magnesium was reinforced with nano-TiB2 particles to produce Mg-TiB2 nanocomposites, and the effects of on electrical, thermal, mechanical properties Mg matrix nanocomposites were studied. manufactured using spark plasma sintering process. Both analytical experimental findings revealed that electrical thermal conductivities lower than those monolithic decreased as amount increased. T...

Al-5Cu-0.8Mn-0.1Zr strips produced during a twin-roll-casting process are investigated in this paper. Central segregation does occur the alloy strip, and is mixture of Al2Cu Al20Cu2Mn3 eutectic phases. This difficult to be dissolved solid solution heat treatment. In paper, nano-sized TiC/TiB2 particles introduced twin-roll-casting. It was found that after adding 0.3% TiC-TiB2 particles, composi...

In this experimental study, three TiB2/Al metal matrix composites (MMCs) with 40 μm in mean size were produced using a melt stirring squeeze casting route. Test was carried out to find the parameters influencing surface roughness (Ra) and material removal rate (MRR) on machining the TiB2 reinforced Al-6063 composite materials. The orthogonal array, the signal-to-noise ratio, and analysis of var...

Nanostructured TiN/TiB2/Fe–Cr–Ni composite powder has been prepared via high energy ball milling. Ti and BN powders are reacted to form uniform mixture of TiN and TiB2 within 2 h of milling by a mechanically activated self-sustaining reaction (MSR). The crystallite sizes of TiN nd TiB2 are about 7 and 16 nm, respectively, after 32 h of milling. Through liquid phase sintering and optimizing the ...

The physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of polycrystalline TiB2 are examined with an emphasis on the significant dependence of the properties on the density and grain size of the material specimens. Using trend analysis, property relations, and interpolation methods, a coherent set of trend values for the properties of polycrystalline TiB2 is determined for a mass fraction of TiB2 ⩾ 98...

Using resonance ultrasound spectroscopy, we measured the monocrystal elastic-stiffness coefficients, the Voigt C ij, of TiB2. With hexagonal symmetry, TiB2 exhibits five independent C ij: C 11, C 33, C 44, C 12, C 13. Using Voigt-Reuss-Hill averaging, we converted these monocrystal values to quasiisotropic (polycrystal) elastic stiffnesses. Briefly, we comment on effects of voids. From the C ij...

The various following reinforcements like nanographite, titanium diboride (TiB2), silicon nitride (Si3N4), and aluminum 2219 have all been investigated in this study. Current research suggests that TiB2 graphite may be a suitable reinforcement for Al2219 alloy. stir casting process was used to make reinforced composites on unreinforced Al2219. Compared the Al2219, nanographite-reinforced hybrid...

The lifetimes and the premature wear of machining tools impact on manufacturing efficiencies and productivities. A significant proportion of machining tool damage can be attributed to component wear. Here, titanium aluminium nitride (TiAlN) multi-layered with titanium diboride (TiB2) prepared by PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) sputtering onto H-13 substrates are studied as potential wear-resis...
