Metal sulfides are widely used in a variety of applications requiring high hardness and toughness. In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of chromium–chromium sulfide cermets are investigated. The chromium–chromium sulfide cermet was manufactured using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, a process where the material is created under a self-sustaining combustion rea...

Bio-reduction of composite materials is the modern approach to facilitate researchers avoid toxic chemical exposure during reduction process. In this study, green graphene oxide using Abutilon indicum (Tamil name: Thuthi) plant leaves extracted from various solvents were used as filler material (0.3, 0.6 and 1 wt.%) in glass fibre epoxy composite. Compression moulding process was adopted fabric...

Fiber-reinforced cement mortar (FRCM) has been widely used since it many advantages compared to plain (PM), and various fibers are highly applicable as repair reinforcement materials for concrete. In the present paper, an experimental study was planned investigate properties, such flexural performance (flexural strength toughness), compressive strength, impact resistance of mono fiber-reinforce...

Dependence on materials for the small ship industry can cause other problems. The development of cheap, environmentally friendly, and sustainable manufacturing raw is a challenge that must be faced, this gave rise to idea developing asphalt-matrixed bamboo ( Gigantochloa apus ) composite with added latex Hevea brasiliensis as hull skin material. asphalt-latex material reinforced fibers was test...

Background: The introduction of translucent zirconia has improved mimetics: nevertheless, a reduction in the mechanical performance was registered. study aim to investigate characteristics high-translucent used for monolithic restorations before and after aging process compared low-translucent zirconia. Methods: A total 23 specimens were present study. Group (n = 10) made Y-TZP; group B 7) Y-TZ...
