Fabrication of in situ TiC reinforced aluminum matrix composites

In the present work, the room and elevated temperature mechanical behavior of Al/TiC, high-strength Al-Si/TiC and the elevated temperature-resistant Al-Fe(-V-Si)/TiC composites has been evaluated. The microstructural characteristics of ingot metallurgy (IM) or rapid solidification (RS) Al-Si/TiC and Al-Fe(-V-Si)/TiC composites could be thought of as a combination of the related alloy matrix mic...

Fabrication of in situ TiC reinforced aluminum matrix composites Part I: Microstructural characterization

In the present work traditional ingot metallurgy plus rapid solidification techniques were used to in situ produce Al-TiC composites with refined microstructures and enhanced dispersion hardening of the reinforcing phases. Microstructural characterization of the experimental materials were comprehensively done by optical, electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the in s...

Preparation and Characterization of the Graphite/zno Composites

The composites graphite/ZnO were prepared using calcination method. Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) were used for synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO), whereas micromilled and natural graphite were used as the matrix for ZnO nanoparticles growing. During the reaction of ZnCl2 with saturated aqueous solution of Na2CO3 new compound Na2Zn3(CO3)4•(H2O)3 originates. During the calcinati...

Fabrication and Characterization of Nanostructured TiO2 and Turmeric Spent Incorporated Polystyrene Hybrid Nano Composites

A series of polystyrene hybrid nanocomposites have been fabricated with varying amounts of TiO2 viz., 0, 0.5 and 1 % w/w along with 3% TS by in-situ polymerization method. The influence of surface modified TiO2 nanoparticles on the thermal properties of PS matrix was examined using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. Thermal characteristics of the polystyrene/TS/TiO2 hybrid ...
