Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) panel glass with higher silica content has a potential to be used as reinforcement material in magnesium matrix composites. The present study aims formulate wear resistant hybrid composite by reinforcing rich E-waste CRT powder (0, 10 and 20 wt. %) boron nitride 2 4 solid lubricant processed through metallurgy route. Composition of the is identified EDS XRD analysis performed for both base reinforcements. developed green MMC shows increased hardness (∼53%), porosity...
Abstract The additive manufacturing technique of material extrusion has challenge excessive process defects and not achieving the desired mechanical properties. industry is trying to develop certification better control variations in attributes. current study a progress towards understanding evolution processing correlation behavior with parameters. Modeling 3D printing parameters such as layer thickness, speed, temperature carried out through L27 orthogonal array using Taguchi approach. In...
The present research deals with development and characterisation of magnesium–SiC–Gr hybrid composites through powder metallurgy route. Morphology analysis the magnesium reinforcement particles has been carried out using particle size analyser (PSA) X-ray diffraction (XRD), then mixed powders were analysed scanning electron microscope (SEM). developed composite exhibit increased hardness when compared to base material, which could be attributed presence hard SiC. Furthermore, a slight...
This work focuses on characterization of a novel hybrid Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite (AMMC) developed through two-step compocasting method by reinforcing constant amount flyash cenosphere (10%) and varying quantity graphite (2%, 4% 6%). Morphological analysis result shows the presence dendritic arms homogeneous distribution in Al7075 matrix. The hardness tensile strength upturn with addition vice versa for graphite. reinforcement particles have enhanced matrix from 178 N/mm2 to 213 as...
A novel epoxy-based composites were fabricated by reinforcing pineapple/flax (PF) fibers and peanut oil cake (PCF) filler using the hand layup cum compression moulding technique investigated its mechanical, water absorption wear properties as a function of wt.% PF (20–40 wt.%) PCF (1–3 wt.%). The XRD FTIR results proved presence lignocellulosic nature in PCF. Mechanical test showed significant enhancement after addition maximum tensile, flexural impact 37. 89 MPa, 70.28 MPa 96.99 J/m...
Abstract The widespread use of plastic goods creates huge disposal issues and environmental concerns. Increasing emphasis has been paid to the notion a circular economy, which might have significant impact on demand for raw materials. Post-consumer plastics recycling is major focus nation’s economy. This study focuses energy recovery from waste as an alternative fuel source meet economy demand. Waste produced through pyrolysis claimed be utilized substituted fuel. work determine performance...
Abstract Composites have gained acceptance in an extensive range of applications owing to their unique characteristics. But, machining these materials is often challenging due improved bonding between matrix and fibre when fillers are added. Since the machinability important aspect for any material its successful utilization, it essential analyse effect secondary phase on machinability. However, investigations polymer composites minimal. In this research, hybrid fillers, namely boron nitride...
Titanium alloys are used in aerospace and automotive applications because of its high specific strength, stiffness good machinability but wear resistance is inadequate. To eliminate this property lag Boron Carbide (B4C) ceramic particles reinforced with Ti-6Al-4V through powder metallurgy route (PM). Reinforcement mixed base alloy for the weight percentage 0, 5 10 so as to analyse effect reinforcements on mechanical, corrosion properties. This research outcome corresponds decreased density,...
This research work focuses on the wear characteristics of hybrid composites prepared using Sisal fiber (SF) /Pineapple (PF) and Pineapple fly ash (PA) in various wt.%. Linear reciprocating tribometer was used for determining Specific Wear Rate (SWR) Coefficient Friction (CoF) composites. The XRF results PA filler showed existence silica (64.43%) aluminum oxide (10.03%) a major percentage. combination 30-50 wt.% improvement Tensile Strength (TS), Flexural (FS) Impact (IS) with mixing up to 5...
