Ti(C, N)-TiB2 composite cermets with different binders (high entropy alloy (HEA) or Ni-Co) were fabricated by mechanical alloying and vacuum hot-pressing sintering. The wear resistance of the two at elevated temperatures was studied. Wear mechanism characterized a combination scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive spectroscopy. experimental results indicated that HEA binder possessed ex...

Theoretical analysis and Computer simulations have proven to be cost-effective and powerful tools in scientific studies of materials, particularly at nano-scale where synthesis of nano-structures, interpretation of their observed character and exploration of new structures are not always straight forward. We present here fundamental principles of techniques used today for computational simulati...

To investigate the effect of rare earth on size and distribution TiB2 phase in aluminum alloy refiner, Al-5Ti-1B-RE master was fabricated, its microstructure constitutions were investigated by combination first principles calculations experimental investigation. The calculated results reveal that Ce has most effective modification ability due to positive adsorption energy largest charge transfe...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) attract considerable attention as a result from its ability in providing a high strength, high modulus, high toughness, high impact properties, improving wear resistance and providing good corrosion resistance compared to unreinforced alloy. Aluminium Silicon (Al/Si) alloy MMC has been widely used in various industrial sectors such as in transportation, domestic e...
