Nowadays, fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are two of the main focal points in vehicle design, promoting the reduction in the weight of vehicles by using lighter materials. The aim of the work is to evaluate the influence of different aluminium foams and injection parameters in order to obtain compound castings with a compromise between the obtained properties and weight by high-pr...

The aluminium is used for variety of reasons and they are known their improved strength, stiffness, wear resistance which useful in the marine, space, transport, automobile related industries. When reinforced with ceramic materials like fly ash, silicon carbide, tungsten boron fired bricks then a composite better plastic forming capability, excellent heat will be formed. objective experiment to...

Aluminium metal matrix composites are pretty much important in the different demanding sectors such as field of medicine and engineering like automobiles, aerospace, defence, dental consumer goods. The need arises due to its huge calibre industrial good materials with lighter weight, excellent properties economical cost demanded researchers or scientists research on composite materials. AMMCs A...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) attract considerable attention as a result from its ability in providing a high strength, high modulus, high toughness, high impact properties, improving wear resistance and providing good corrosion resistance compared to unreinforced alloy. Aluminium Silicon (Al/Si) alloy MMC has been widely used in various industrial sectors such as in transportation, domestic e...

This paper presents positron lifetime studies of the subsurface region of AK12 aluminium alloy and Al2O3-particle-reinforced AK12 aluminium alloy composite after sliding against steel in the pin-on-disc machine. The defect depth profile detected in the AK12 alloy extended up to 300 μm but for the composite AK12 the range of this profile was significantly shortened to less than ∼ 90 μm. The posi...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have become attractive for engineering structural applications due to their excellent specific strength property and are increasingly seen as alternative to the conventional materials particularly in the automotive, aerospace and defence industries. Al/SiC MMC has aluminium matrix and the silicon carbide particles as reinforcements and exhibits many desirable mech...

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) appear...

In this study, an addition of Ag micro-particles (8–10 lm) with a content in the range between 0 and 1.5 wt.% to Sn–9Zn eutectic solder, were examined in order to understand the effect of Ag additions as the particulate reinforcement on the microstructural and mechanical properties as well as the thermal behavior of the newly developed composite solders. Here, an approach to prepare a micro-com...
