in the present work, the aa2124/25vol.%mosi2 composite was produced by powder metallurgy technique. the aluminum alloy 2124 powder was produced by gas atomization method and the mosi2 intermetallic particles were produced through combustion synthesis. the aa2124 matrix powder was mechanically blended with 25vol.%mosi2 using a ball milling mixer. the blended powder mixture was encapsulated and t...

In recent years, the rolling densification process has become increasingly widely used to strengthen powder metallurgy parts. The original composition of the rolled powder metallurgy blank has a significant effect on the rolling densification technology. The present work investigated the effects of different carbon contents (0 wt. %, 0.2 wt. %, 0.45 wt. %, and 0.8 wt. %) on the rolling densific...

The effect of milling time on the morphology, microstructure, physical and mechanical properties of pure Al-5 wt % Al₂O₃ (Al-5Al₂O₃) has been investigated. Al-5Al₂O₃ nanocomposites were fabricated using ball milling in a powder metallurgy route. The increase in the milling time resulted in the homogenous dispersion of 5 wt % Al₂O₃ nanoparticles, the reduction of particle clustering, and the red...

In this paper an attempt has been made to correlate the usefulness of electrodes made through powder metallurgy (PM) in comparison with conventional copper electrode during electric discharge machining. Experimental results are presented on electric discharge machining of AISI D2 steel in kerosene with copper tungsten (30% Cu and 70% W) tool electrode made through powder metallurgy (PM) techniq...

Powder metallurgy techniques have been used to produce controlled porous structures, such as the porous coatings applied for dental and orthopedic surgical implants, which allow bony tissue ingrowth within the implant surface improving fixation. This work presents the processing and characterization of titanium porous coatings of different porosity levels, processed through powder metallurgy te...

Solution Precursor Plasma Spray (SPPS) technique is an emergent technique which offers significant performance advantages with various functional coatings like YSZ, ZnFe2O4, LSM, metal-doped ZnO, etc. Apart from the above capabilities, efforts towards development of an innovative hybrid approach through simultaneous deposition of powder and solution resulted in coatings with unique microstructu...

EDM is a prominent non-traditional machining process, which is widely used for machining hard materials which is not possible byconventional processes. A very special aspect of this process is a surface modificationby material transfer from the tool electrode to the work-piece which is commonly known as electro discharge coating (EDC). In this work, electrode prepared with tungsten (W) and copp...

A novel method, powder thixoforming, for net-shape forming of the particle-reinforced Aluminum matrix composites in semi-solid state has been proposed based on powder metallurgy combining with thixoforming technology. The microstructural evolution and phase transformations have been investigated during partial remelting of the 2024 bulk alloy, prepared by cold pressing of atomized alloy powders...
