Microwaves at the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical, reserved internationally) frequency of 2450 or 5800 MHz have been used to prepare FeCoNiCuAl, FeCrNiTiAl and FeCoCrNiAl2.5 high entropy alloys by direct heating of pressed mixtures of metal powders. The aim of this work is to explore a new microwave-assisted near-net-shape technology, using a powder metallurgy approach for the preparati...

Electrode material for low-temperature co-fired diopside glass-ceramic used for microwave dielectrics was investigated in the present work. Diffusion of silver from the electrode to diopside glass-ceramics degrades the performance of the microwave dielectrics. Two approaches were adopted to resolve the problem of silver diffusion. Firstly, silicon-oxide (SiO₂) powder was employed and secondly c...

Ni–51.4 at.% Ti (Nitinol) containing 24 and 34 vol.% orthogonally interweaving micro-channels with 350–400 lm diameters was fabricated by a powder-metallurgy method. NiTi powder preforms containing steel wire meshes arranged in parallel layers were hot-pressed into NiTi/steel composites, from which the meshes were removed electrochemically, thereby producing micro-channels with tailorable morph...

Abstract Squeeze casting and powder metallurgy techniques were employed to fabricate AlSi12/Al 2 O 3 composites, which are lightweight structural materials with potential applications in the automotive industry. The impact of processing route on material properties was studied. Comparative analyses conducted for Vickers hardness, flexural strength, fracture toughness, thermal conductivity, resi...

BACKGROUND The production of nanoparticles using a biosystem is considered green chemistry. Application of plant extracts as a biological process has been proven to be suitable for synthesis of nanoparticles. OBJECTIVES This study designed in order to evaluate the production of silver nanoparticles using Juglans regia leaf extract and to compare the outcome of different preparation methods of...
