In general, the binary monotectic alloys are characterized by the limited solubility in the liquid state, which gives them a benefited tribological behavior such as wear resistance. Researches regarding the development of monotectic alloy microstructures during the unsteady-state heat flow conditions are fundamental, as it encompasses most of the solidification industrial processes. However, the microstructural relationship between the mechanical properties of monotectic alloys is little explored and practically nil. In this context, the present study consists of investigating and correlating solidification thermal variables and structural parameters such as microhardness and machinability (cutting temperatures and tool wear) of Al-1.2wt% Pb alloy, in a horizontal directional device. It was observed that the cutting temperature and tool wear results complement each other when correlated with position and interphase spacing, indicating that for smaller interphase spacings the addition of lead harms machinability.

NiTiNOL (Nickel–Titanium) shape memory alloys (SMAs) are ideal replacements for titanium alloys used in bio-medical applications because of their superior properties like shape memory and super elasticity. The machining of NiTiNOL alloy is challenging, as it is a difficult to cut material. Hence, in the current research the experimental studies on machinability aspects of medical grade NiTiNOL SMA during wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) using zinc coated brass wire as electrode material have been carried out. Pulse time (Ton), pause time (Toff), wire feed (WF), and servo voltage (SV) are chosen as varying input process variables and the effects of their combinational values on output responses such as surface roughness (SR), material removal rate (MRR), and tool wear rate (TWR) are studied through response surface methodology (RSM) based developed models. Modified differential evolution (MDE) optimization technique has been developed and the convergence curve of the same has been compared with the results of differential evolution (DE) technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrography (EDS) analysis are carried out to study the surface morphology of the machined alloy. SV is found to be more influential process parameter for achieving better MRR with minimal SR and TWR, followed by Ton, Toff, and WF. The WF has good impact on reduced SR and TWR responses and found to be least significant in maximizing MRR.

Aluminium Matrix Composites are extensively used due to their desirable properties like low weight, low cost, high strength to weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity and high stiffness. Their applications are diversified in production, thermal, marine and automobile industries. Aluminium is extensively used in ships, aircrafts, cars, electrical wires and household utensils because it is abundant in nature. In the present study, Aluminium alloy Al6061 Hybrid Composites reinforced with Boron carbide and Coconut shell ash are fabricated to replace the individual Aluminium alloy Al6061. For that various tests to determine properties such as strength, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance are conducted on composite samples which make them fit to be used in aircraft window frames by reviewing various literatures. In addition to above, machinability analysis is performed on all the specimens and their surface roughness is measured. Based on the results obtained, we can come to a conclusion that the aluminium composite has superior properties than individual Al6061 alloy.
