Global Machinability of Al-Mg-Si Extrusions

High Temperature Properties of AZ91D Magnesium Alloy Composite Reinforced with Short Alumina Fiber and Mg_{2}Si Particle

Short alumina fiberand in situ Mg2Si particle reinforced magnesium alloy composites were fabricated by squeeze casting. The in situ Mg2Si particles were formed during the infiltration with the melt into the preforms consisting of the fibers having Si particles attached to their surfaces. The microstructure of the composites and their tensile strength and Young’s modulus in the range from 293K t...

Machinability of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composite materials

This paper deals with the study of machinability of GFRP composite tubes of different fiber orientation angle vary from 30 to 90. Machining studies were carried out on an all geared lathe using three different cutting tools: namely Carbide (K-20), Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) and Poly-Crystalline Diamond (PCD). Experiments were conducted based on the established Taguchi’s Design of Experiments (DO...

CORROSION BEHAVIOUR OF Al-Li-Cu-Mg ALLOY 8090-T651

The Effect of Cu Additions on the Precipitation Kinetics in an Al-Mg-Si Alloy with Excess Si

The microstructural evolution during age hardening of a Cu-bearing Al-Mg-Si alloy has been investigated by the three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) techniques, in order to clarify the effect of Cu on the initial age-hardening response. After 30 minutes of artificial aging at 175 8C, the alloy shows a significant increase in hardness. The TEM observation...
