in this study, aluminium2024- graphite composites containing 5, 10, 15 and 20 weight percent of graphite were produced by solid assisted melt disintegration (samd) technique which resulted in production of al/gr powder mixtures which subsequently consolidated and sintered for preparation of al/gr composites. in this technique, powder mixture was prepared by addition of flake graphite (mean diam...

In this present work effect of temperature and graphite contents on the microstructural and mechanical properties of iron based powder metallurgy freeform was studied. The different graphite contents (0%, 2%, 5% and 10%) were mixed in iron powder and compact them in 100 KN. These specimens were sintered at 7000 C, 8500 C and 10000 C in muffle furnaces. Microstructural properties were evaluated ...

in this study, al/gr composites with 5,10,15,20 weight percent of graphite were produced by in-situ powder metallurgy method. the produced powder mixtures were consolidated and sintered at optimum conditions. the resultant composites were solution treated at 495?c and aged at 170?c. the influence of graphite content on the bending strength of composites was studied. the distribution of graphite...

ZnO nanowires were grown in gram quantities on graphite flakes (as collector) using the vapour transport and condensation approach. The yield, defined as the weight ratio of ZnO nanowires to the original graphite flakes, has been studied thoroughly by tuning the various growth parameters such as pressure and temperature inside the tube furnace, the amount of graphite powder in the original sour...

The present paper deals with the design of experimental work matrices for two groups of experiments by using Response surface methodology (RSM). The first EDM group was dealt with the use of kerosene dielectric alone, while the second was treated by adding the graphite micro powders mixing to dielectric fluid (PMEDM). The total heat flux generated and fatigue lives after EDM and PMEDM models we...

Production of Fe-C alloy powders by mechanical alloying was studied. Fe and graphite elemental powder mixtures containing 0.8 and 1.5wt.% graphite were mechanically alloyed using a planetary ball mill. The structural changes of powder particles during mechanical alloying were studied by x-ray diffractometery, scanning electron microscopy and microhardness measurements. For both compositions, me...

Background: Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a well-established non-conventional machining process for the machining of electrically conductive and difficult-to-machine materials. But its applications are limited because of the slow machining rate and poor surface finish. Powder mixed EDM (PMEDM) is unitary of the recent progresses in the EDM process in which powder particles mixed in th...
