in this study, ultrafine grained 2024 al alloy based b4c particles reinforced composite was produced by mechanical milling and hot extrusion. mechanical milling was used to synthesize the nanostructured al2024 in attrition mill under argon atmosphere up to 50h. a similar process was used to produce al2024-5%wt. b4c composite powder. to produce trimodal composites, milled powders were combined w...

A microstructure consisting of ultrafine grained (UFG) ferrite with average grain size of ~ 0.7 µm and dispersed nano-sized carbides was produced by cold-rolling and tempering of the martensite starting microstructure in a low carbon steel. Subsequently, fine grained dual phase (DP) steel consisting of equiaxed ferrite grains with average size of ~ 5 µm and martensite islands with average size ...

This study focuses on evaluating the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of improved fine-grained soils. A large database of unconfined compressive strength of clayey soil specimens stabilized with fly ash and blast furnace slag based geopolymer were collected and analyzed. Subsequently, using adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), a model has been developed to assess the UCS of stabi...
