The Magnetic moulding process is an extension of lost foam process, in which an Expendable Poly Styrene (EPS) pattern is surrounded by steel shots bonded together by the action of an induced electromagnetic field. Magnetic moulding is a potential alternative for conventional sand casting, which has disadvantages like low thermal conductivity and low permeability, which affects the metallurgical and mechanical properties of the casting. In the present work Al/SiCp metal matrix composite (MMC) samples are moulded by magnetic moulding technique, using different size steel shots viz. 0.18 mm, 0.6mm, 1mm and the tensile properties of the moulded samples were evaluated. The fractured surfaces of the tensile samples were also examined using SEM. The results show that medium size steel shots gives better tensile properties.

Aluminium based composite are getting a vast scope nowadays because of its properties and availability. In the present work, fly ash and AL2O3 reinforced composite are prepared using stir casting technique for varying wt.% (fly ash 3% and AL2O3 3%, 6% & 9%). Hardness and tensile properties were determined, with the addition of reinforcement the properties are improved compared to the parent metal alone. Based on the evaluation 6% AL2O3 and 3%fly ash gives a better result as compared to other composition.

ABSTRACTIn contrast to the form in which other carbon fibers are produced, vapor grown carbon fiber (VGCF) is produced from gas phase precursors in the form of individual fibers of discrete lengths. VGCF can be harvested as a mat of semi-aligned, semicontinuous fibers, with occasional fiber branching and curling. The use of VGCF mats as reinforcement result in composites which exhibit unique microstructure and physical properties that are not observed in other types of carbon composites. This paper describes the processing of VGCF mats reinforced carbon composites, and its unique microstructure and properties. Utilization of fiber tensile properties, as well as thermal conductivity, in the composites is discussed. Comparison of experimental results from various VGCF composites to theory indicates that mechanical properties are more strongly affected by characteristics of VGCF mat than are thermal conductivity. The implications of this relationship favors applications for thermal management where structural demands are less stringent.

Aluminium metal matrix composite (Al-MMC) is the most promising area for the researcher to develop a material of high strength, elastic modulus and wear resistance and low co-efficient of thermal expansion and weight. Un-hybrid and hybrid Al-MMC can be developmed by physical combination of aluminium with single and multiple reinforcement material, respectively. The improvement in mechanical properties has been achived with the reinforcement of Al2O3, SiC and combination of Al2O3, SiC (hybrid). Hybrid Al-MMCs are found superior to un-hybrid Al-MMCs in terms of wear properties. The fabrication of hybrid Al-MMC can be done with vacuum assisted moulding process (V process) in which no binder is used, which possesses many benefits over other sand casting processes. This production route will revolutionize the automobile and other industries.

Tool Pin

Friction stir processing (FSP) was used to fabricate Al/Cu metal matrix composite (MMC). The effects of two different tool pin profiles (straight cylindrical and square) and the number of FSP passes on microstructure, tensile properties and microhardness were studied. The results indicated that good dispersion of micro-sized Cu particles, finer grains, higher tensile properties and higher microhardness, can be achieved by the square tool pin profile compared to the samples produced by the other tool. Also it was observed that the ultimate tensile strength of the samples produced by two FSP passes, as a result of Cu particles shattering, increased intensively compared to the samples fabricated with first FSP pass. Further FSP passes increased the elongation of the composites without any considerable changes in yield and ultimate tensile strength.

The structure of a series of AlSb alloys prepared by melt spinning have been studied in the as melt–spun ribbons  as a function of antimony content .The stability  of these structures has  been  related to that of the transport and mechanical properties of the alloy ribbons. Microstructural analysis was performed and it was found that only Al and AlSb phases formed for different composition.  The electrical, thermal and the stability of the mechanical properties are related indirectly through the influence of the antimony content. The results are interpreted in terms of the phase change occurring to alloy system. Electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, elastic moduli and the values of microhardness are found to be more sensitive than the internal friction to the phase changes.

This work reports on the incorporation of Flint and Kaolin rocks powders in the cement mortar in an attempt to improve its mechanical properties and produce an eco-friendly mortar. Flint and Kaolin powders are prepared by dry mechanical milling. The two powders are added separately to the mortars substituting cement partially. The two powders are found to improve the mechanical properties of the mortars. Hardness and compressive strength are found to increase with the increase of powders constituents in the cement mortars. In addition, the two powders affect water absorption and thermal conductivity of the mortar specimens which are desirable for construction applications. Kaolin is found to have a greater effect on the mechanical properties, water absorption, and thermal conductivity of the mortars than Flint. This behavior is discussed and analyzed based on the compositional and structural properties of the rocks powders.

This research has been done by reinforcing the matrix (unsaturated polyester) resin with natural material (date palm fiber (DPF)). The fibers were exposure to alkali treatment before reinforcement. The samples have been prepared by using hand lay-up technique with fiber volume fraction of (10%, 20% and 30%). After preparation of the mechanical and physical properties have been studied such as, compression, flexural, impact strength, thermal conductivity, Dielectric constant and dielectric strength. The polyester composite reinforced with date palm fiber at volume fraction (10% and 20%) has good mechanical properties rather than pure unsaturated polyester material, while the composite reinforced with 30% Vf present poor mechanical properties. Thermal conductivity results indicated insulator composite behavior. The effect of present fiber polar group induces of decreasing in dielectric strength, and increasing dielectric constant. The reinforcement composite 20% Vf showed the best results in mechanical, thermal and electrical properties.
