In this study, the effect of holding time on the microwave sintered 84Fe-11Cr-5Al2O3 metal matrix composite (MMC) was investigated. Sintering was carried out in a tubular microwave furnace HAMiLab-V3 under N2 atmosphere. The holding time was selected between 0 to 75 minutes with increment of 15 minutes respectively. A study of microstructure and physical properties was carried out on sintered samples. It was discovered that, when the samples sintered at 1400oC with 20oC/min heating rate, the hardness was significantly increased from 110Hv to 160 Hv for holding time ranging from 30 to 45oC/min. Further increment until 75 minutes of holding time, no significant changes were obtained and hardness values were at steady state. The enhancement of bulk density and reduction of porosity were observed commences at 30 minutes until 45 minutes holding time. However, the results showed that the optimum holding time was at 45 minutes where the micro hardness is at the highest point which is about 160Hv.

This study is focused on fabricating and characterizing iron (Fe) composites prepared by powder metallurgy route reinforced with varying weight of Yttria (Y2O3). Composites were prepared based on 5 wt. % to 15 wt. % of reinforcement powder with particle size ranging from 1-10µm. Pure Fe matrix composites were also prepared for comparison purpose. This paper will report the microstructure, bulk density and micro hardness values of the composites. Powder characterization and microstructures of the composites were examined using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) which indicated homogenous distribution of reinforcement particles in the metal matrix. Bulk density of the composites was calculated using standard Archimedean method showing decreasing values as the weight percentage of Y2O3 increases. Micro-hardness was measured using micro-Vickers hardness instrument. The data obtained shows that the Fe-Y2O3 composites samples possessed superior hardness value with the increasing quantity of reinforcement compared to the unreinforced Fe composite.

Microwave sintering technology has become attractive and gained interest among material researchers due its capability and advantages over conventional sintering. Since two decades ago, intensive researches on microwave sintering have been carried out to sinter ferrous and non ferrous material purposely to produce composites with enhanced properties not achievable via conventional sintering. In this research, the effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure and properties of the sintered 84Fe-11Cr-5Al2O3composite was investigated. Sintering was carried out in a tubular microwave furnace HAMiLab-V3 under N2atmosphere. The sintering temperatures were selected between 1100°C to 1400°C with increment of 100°C. A study of microstructure and physical properties was carried out on sintered samples. It was observed that, relative density and porosity was slightly changed with increasing sintering temperature and hardness increased tremendously at sintering temperature of between 1300oC to 1400°C.However, the results showed that the optimum sintering temperature was at 1400°C.

This article deals with the influence of different doses of Beta radiation to the structure and mico-mechanical properties of Low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Hard surface layers of polymer materials, especially LDPE, can be formed by radiation cross-linking by β radiation with doses of 33, 66 and 99 kGy. Material properties created by β radiation are measured by micro-hardness test using the DSI method (Depth Sensing Indentation). Individual radiation doses caused structural and micro-mechanical changes which have a significant effect on the final properties of the LDPE tested. The highest values of micro-mechanical properties were reached at radiation dose of 66 and 99 kGy, when the micro-hardness values increased by about 21%. The changes were examined and confirmed by X-ray diffraction.

The paper reviews the preparation of the different metallic nanocomposites. In the preparation of composites, especially in the case of nanocomposites, interfacial phenomena play an important role. This review summarizes the literature on various interfacial phenomena, such as wettability and reactivity in the case of casting techniques and colloidal behavior in the case of electrochemical and electroless methods. The main contribution of this work lies in the evaluation of collected interfacial phenomena and difficulties in the production of metal matrix composites, for both nano-sized and micro-sized reinforcements. This study can guide the composite maker in choosing the best criteria for producing metal matrix composites, which means a real interface with good adhesion between the matrix and the reinforcement. This criterion results in desirable mechanical and physical properties and homogenous dispersion of the reinforcement in the matrix.
