the friction stir process (fsp) is a solid state process, which has been used to insert reinforcing particles into the structure of a material to create a composite with improved properties. magnesium is a light structural metal that is increasingly used in the aerospace and automobile industries. in this research, sic nanoparticles were added to az31 alloy using fsp in two overlaps of 100% and...

to compare the mechanical properties of resilon and gutta-percha cones after storing at three different temperatures.one-hundred standardized size 40/02 gutta-percha cones and 100 resilon cones were randomly divided into four groups. the first group of the materials were tested immediately after receipt as the control group. the other three were stored in their packages at -12°c, 4± 1°c and 22±...

Background and Objectives: Kefiran (Kef) is a water-soluble polysaccharide that can form transparent film however, it is brittle. Therefore, in order to improve the mechanical properties of kefiran film, a mixture with other polymers can be offered. The expansion of mixed systems can propose kefiran and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) as a new composite film. Materials and Methods: Solutions of 20 gr...

this study focuses on achieving high stiffness/strength and good fr characteristic of nylon 66/mca/nc nanocomposites, prepared via melt compounding by twin screw extruder. a synergistic effect of flame retardant systems based on melamine cyanurate and zinc borate on the flammability and mechanical behaviours of crysnanoclay reinforced nylon 66 nanocomposites have been reported. mechanical test ...

Aluminum/alumina composites are used in automotive and aerospace industries due to their low density and good mechanical strength. In this research, the effect of mechanical stirring of slurry in liquid-solid phase temperature and injection of alumina powder with inert gas (Ar) on microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-A356 alloy is investigated. In order to improve of the wettability a...

Increasing material’s strength is of particular importance. Improving material’s mechanical properties such as strength could reduce the size and weight of the structure. The size and weight of the structure are among the effective parameters in design. Since the past a variety of methods have been developed to increase the strength of metals that are capable of increasing metals’ strength to a...

in this paper, the effect of polypropylene fibers added to concrete on strength and thermal resistance of high strength concrete has been investigated. therefore, five tests have been carried out to reach this goal which it includes; effect of weight percent of polypropylene fibers on mechanical properties of concrete, effect of fiber’s length on the strength of high strength concrete, effect o...
