  • Study on Fabrication and Characterization of Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites and Nanocomposites
    JASC: Journal of Applied Science and Computations ISSN NO: 1076-5131 STUDY ON FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ALUMINIUM METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES AND NANOCOMPOSITES Prof. Pankaj P. Awate1, Prof. Dr. S. B. Barve2 1 Ph.D.Scholar, Department of Mechanical Engineering, MIT WPU Pune, India 2 Prof. Head, Department of Mechanical Engineering, MIT WPU Pune, India [email protected] [email protected] Abstract – In today’s competitive world need has been increased towards development of low cost, efficient, lightweight, corrosion resistive, highly reflectivity, tough, conducive materials. Aluminium alloy composites are well known for its better thermal expansion coefficient, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other mechanical properties. Composites are materials which are made up of two or more materials; when combined together it shares some properties of these combined elements. These combinations can be designed to have different properties like stiffness, resistance to impact or use in high temperature Environments. Nanocomposite is emerging as high strength advanced materials for the industrial applications that have potential of satisfying recent demands of advanced engineering applications. In this paper an attempt has been made to provide a brief review on aluminium and its alloy, aluminium matrix composites and nanocomposites, fabrication and characterization technology and to suggest a least expensive method for production of nanocomposites. Keywords— Fabrication, Characterization, Aluminium, Composites, Nanocomposites etc I. INTRODUCTION The application of an advanced material may be the key to revolutionizing a product line and keep pace with accelerated market change and technology developments. The aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) are low-weight and high- performance materials that have potential to replace conventional materials in many advanced applications.

  • Investigation & Optimization of Tig Welding Parameters And
    International Journal for Research in Engineering Application & Management (IJREAM) ISSN : 2454-9150 Special Issue - TMRI - 2019 A Review on - Investigation & Optimization of Tig Welding Parameters And Their Effect on Aluminum Plate (AL 5052) 1LOKESH KUMAR SHARMA, 2AMIT TIWARI 1M. Tech (Scholar), 2Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Suresh Gyan Vihar University Jaipur Rajasthan, India. Abstract - To improve welding quality of Aluminum (Al) plate an automated TIG welding system has been developed, by which welding speed can be control during welding process. Welding of Al plate has been performed in two phases. During 1st phase of welding, single side welding performed over Al plate and during 2nd phase both side welding performed for Al plate by changing different welding parameters on different composition of Aluminum (Al). Effect of welding speed and welding current on the tensile strength of the weld joint has been investigated for both type of weld joint. Optical microscopic analysis has been done on the weld zone to evaluate the effect of welding parameters on welding quality. Micro-hardness value of the welded zone has been measured at the cross section to understand the change in mechanical property of the welded zone. Keywords: Automated TIG Welding System, Micro hardness Test, Tensile Test I. INTRODUCTION weld area is protected from atmosphere by an inert shielding gas (argon or helium), and a filler metal is Welding is a permanent joining process used to join normally used. The power is supplied from the power different materials like metals, alloys or plastics, together source (rectifier), through a hand-piece or welding torch at their contacting surfaces by application of heat and or and is delivered to a tungsten electrode, which is fitted into pressure.

  • Galvanic Corrosion Behavior of Copper/Titanium Galvanic Couple in Artificial Seawater
    Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China 24(2014) 570−581 Galvanic corrosion behavior of copper/titanium galvanic couple in artificial seawater Xiao-qing DU1, Qing-song YANG2, Yu CHEN1, Yang YANG1, Zhao ZHANG1 1. Department of Chemistry, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China; 2. Zhanjiang Corrosion and Protection Center, Zhanjiang 524000, China Received 22 January 2013; accepted 31 May 2013 Abstract: The corrosion behaviors of copper and copper/titanium galvanic couple (GC) in seawater were studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical noise (EN) techniques in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) method. The results show that the corrosion process of copper in seawater can be divided into two stages, in which corrosion resistance and SE show the same evolution trend of initial increase and subsequent decrease, while SG changes oppositely. However, the ensemble corrosion process of copper/ titanium GC in seawater includes three stages, in which corrosion resistance and SE show the evolution features of initial decrease with a subsequently increase, and the final decrease again; while SG changes oppositely. The potential difference between copper and titanium in their galvanic couple can accelerate the initiation of pitting corrosion of copper, and both the minimum and maximum corrosion potentials of copper/ titanium GC are much more positive than those of pure copper. Key words: Cu/Ti galvanic couple; galvanic corrosion; electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; electrochemical noise now, galvanic
