In this research, the Planetary mill was used for mechanical alloying (MA) of Ti and Alpowder mixture with equal at% (Ti50Al50). The effect of various factors, such as process control agent(PCA), speed of rotation of vial and ball-to-powder weight ratio, on process were studied and the bestcondition to synthesis the alloy was determined. Study on X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showedthat at p...

Magnesium (Mg) based alloys are the most advanced cardiovascular stent materials. This new generation of stent scaffold is currently under clinical evaluation with encouraging outcomes. All these Mg alloys contain a certain amount of rare earth (RE) elements though the exact composition is not yet disclosed. RE alloying can usually enhance the mechanical strength of different metal alloys but t...

Al-SiC composites were successfully produced with improved mechanical properties. Effect of SiC content, its particles size and shaping method were investigated. Three shaping methods of conventional powder metallurgy (PM), hot press (HP) and hot extrusion (EX) were used. The hardness of the samples was measured by Vickers method. Tensile and compression tests were performed for the characteriz...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphenes have been taken for novel reinforcements due to their unique structure and performance. However, MWCNTs or graphenes reinforced copper matrix composites could not catch up with ideal value due to reinforcement dispersion in metal matrix, wettability to metal matrix, and composite material interface. Taking advantage of the superior properties...

The accumulative roll bonding (ARB) as a severe plastic deformation (SPD) procedure aimed at enhancing the mechanical properties of metals and alloys. In the present study, a new slab method is proposed for estimating the forming stress field for cold extrusion of metals cross the alumina interlayer powder particles by accumulative roll bonding process. Plastic deformation behavior of the metal...

the flow stress of steel depends significantly on microstructural changes taken place during hot deformation processes. in hot deformation processes, the flow stress of steel is influenced by two main metallurgical phenomena, i.e. recovery and recrystallization, along with its chemical composition and thermo-mechanical parameters. the final mechanical properties of steel are also determined by ...
