High temperature formability of graphene nanoplatelets-AZ31 composites fabricated by stir-casting method

Tribological behaviour of AA 5083/Micron and Nano SiC composites fabricated by ultrasonic assisted stir casting process

Metal Matrix composites (MMCs) are light weight, high-strength materials with potential application in areas such as automobile, aerospace, defence and other industries. MMCs are projected to significantly reduce the overall weight of the vehicle and aircraft while maintaining satisfactory structural strength. Micron and Nano-sized ceramic particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites fabricat...

investigation of mechanical property and microstructure of nanocomposite az31/sic fabricated by friction stir process

the friction stir process (fsp) is a solid state process, which has been used to insert reinforcing particles into the structure of a material to create a composite with improved properties. magnesium is a light structural metal that is increasingly used in the aerospace and automobile industries. in this research, sic nanoparticles were added to az31 alloy using fsp in two overlaps of 100% and...

High performance anode-supported tubular solid oxide fuel cells fabricated by a novel slurry-casting method

Tubular solid oxide fuel cells were fabricated and evaluated for their microstructure and electrochemical performance. The tubular substrate was prepared by casting NiO-Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) slurry on the inner wall of a plastic mold (tube). The wall thickness and uniformity were controlled by slurry viscosity and rotation speed of the tube. The cells consisted of Ni-YSZ functional anode, ...

Influences of Thermal Treatment on the Dielectric Performances of Polystyrene Composites Reinforced by Graphene Nanoplatelets

Dielectric properties of composites near percolation threshold (fc) are often sensitive to thermal treatments, and the annealing temperature is usually associated with a polymer's rheological properties. In this study, the influences of the thermal treatment on dielectric properties are investigated for the polystyrene (PS) matrix composite reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) fillers nea...
