In the present study, effect of graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) reinforcement in Aluminum material at different rates was investigated on tribological properties. this scope, samples were produced by hot press under determining production parameters. The wear characteristics composites determined using ball-on disc test method. Ball showed that Al6061/GNPs composite which with addition 1 wt% GNPs, ...

Abstract Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) lap joint of Al6061-T6 and Galvanized steel is studied in this paper using design experiments method. Welding parameters considered for the work includes stick out distance (10 mm −14 mm), wire-feed speed (3.5 m min −1 – 4 ) torch angle (10˚ to 15˚). Weld strength optimized by Taguchi analysis optimizing input variables with 100% argon gas 14 overlap region 13...

Semisolid processing is one of the modern routes in sound and near net shape parts production.  Preparation of semisolid slurry using a cooling slope is increasingly becoming popular, primarily because of its simplicity in design and ease of control of the process. In this research, the microstructures of Al6061 semisolid alloy cast via a miniature cooling slope were investigated. The propertie...

Due to their superior capabilities for manufacturing lightweight automotive components, aluminium metal matrix composites have gained a lot of attention in the last few years. Aluminium are an exceptional class that can solve all major problems related automobile industry. disc braking system already been employed and studied by many scientists. However, developed materials not yet always suffi...
