The effects of microfiller addition on the flexural properties carbon fiber reinforced phenolic (CFRP) matrix composites were investigated. CFRP was produced using colloidal silica and silicon carbide (SiC) microfillers, 2 D woven fibers, two variants resole (HRJ-15881 SP-6877). resins have same phenol solid content but differ in their viscosities HCHO (formaldehyde) content. weight fractions m...

We investigate the small-particle phonon-polariton response of several microstructures that are made of silicon carbide (SiC). Phonon polaritons can be excited in a wavelength region between 10 and 12 mm. Simple structures such as elliptical cylinders support phonon polaritons at two wavelengths, which depend on the axis ratio of the particle. In particles with a more irregular shape such as re...

Particulate reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) are potential materials for various applications due to their advantageous of physical and mechanical properties. This paper presents a study on the performance of stir cast Al2O3 SiC reinforced metal matrix composite materials. The results indicate that the composite materials exhibit improved physical and mechanical properties, such as, lo...

Fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composite is an attractive candidate as a structural material for future fusion power plants because of their light weight, high temperature capability, high strength and toughness. Ceramic matrix composite made of silicon carbide matrix and fibers (SiCf/SiC) is promising for nuclear and fusion technology due to its excellent radiation resistance, especially expo...

Ni-based mixed particles composite coatings were designed to achieve superior wear resistance by combining hard carbides and solid lubricants as a reinforcing mix. Pure nickel single-particles composites electrodeposited in the same conditions for benchmarking. A pre-study was carried out optimise current density avoid loss of process efficiency due hydrogen evolution. The production also impro...

This study focuses on a comparative analysis of mechanical behavior and microstructural characteristics Cu matrix (C87600) based hybrid composites reinforced with SiC-Grp WC-Grp fabricated by the stir casting process. The graphite particle percentage was kept constant, whereas content SiC WC in respective varied to analyze properties composites. morphological observation carried out field emiss...

This paper compares the values of the thermal and fire resistance properties of composites made using the hand layup technique. E-Glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites was fabricated by filling varying concentration of aluminum oxide (Al2O3), magnesium hydroxide(Mg(OH)2), silicon carbide (SiC), and hematite powder. The main aim of this work was to determine the thermal conductivity, thermal e...

TRISO fuel particles, used in high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGR) are composite structures with a nuclear fuel kernel surrounded by alternating layers designed to contain fission products and compensate for radiation damage. As shown in Figure 1, a typical fuel particle contains an inner kernel of nuclear fuel, a low-density buffer layer of pyrocarbon, a dense layer of pyrocarbon coatin...
