Electrodeposition is a simple and economic technique for precision coating of different shaped substrates with pure metal, alloy or composite films. Dc electrodeposition was used to produce Cr, Co-Cr and Co-Cr/TiO2 nano-composite coatings from Cr(III) based electrolytes onto 316L SS substrates. The effects of TiO2 nanoparticles concentration on co-deposition of these particles along with Cr con...

carbon nano-tube (cnt) reinforced metal matrix nano-composites have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years due to the outstanding physical and mechanical properties of cnts. however, utilizing cnt as reinforcement for alloy matrixes has not been studies systematically and is still a challenging issue. in the present study, cu80fe20/10cnt nanocomposite was synthesized by mechanical ...

Nano-composite permanent magnetic material is a new type permanent magnetic material, and it is the synthesis of soft and hard magnetic phase within nanoscale. On the basis of exchange coupling hard magnetizing theory, nano-composite permanent magnetic material can at the same time have high residual magnetization intensity of soft magnetic phase and high coerccivity of hard magnetic phase, and...

The present study aims at developing A356/Al2O3(np) nano-composite with a novel and cost effective method for attaining homogeneous dispersion of Al2O3 nanoparticles in the Al matrix. In the current research, Al micro powders distributed on aluminum foil and then Al2O3 nanoparticles ultra-sounded in ethanol and sprayed on Al substrate. Subsequently, the sandwich foil was added to molten A356 du...

Nano-sized ceramic particle reinforced aluminum composites exhibit excellent room-temperature mechanical properties. However, there is limited research on the dry sliding wear behavior of those composites at elevated temperatures, which should be one of the major concerns on elevated temperature applications. Here the Al-Cu composites reinforced with nano-sized TiCp were fabricated. The dry sli...

T1B2 and CeO2 particle-reinforced A16061 hybrid composites were manufactured using stir casting hot rolling techniques. The base alloy hot-rolled at 500°C a 50% reduction was achieved through 12 passes. effect of varying TB2 particle additions on the microstructure mechanical properties Al6061 matrix studied. Scanning electron microscopy showed uniform dispersion both reinforcements, with good ...

nowadays, titanium-based alloys are among the most attractive metallic materials for biomedical applications (as implants) due to their non-biodegradability, low density, good mechanical properties as well as their good biocompatibility. hydroxyapatite (ca10 (po4)6(oh)2, ha) has been widely used for biomedical applications due to its bioactive, biocompatible and osteoconductive properties. firs...

magnesium and its alloys are light, biodegradable, biocompatible metals that have promising applications as biomaterials. magnesium is potentially useful for orthopedic and cardiovascular applications. however, the corrosion rate of this metal is so high that its degradation occurs before the end of the healing process. one of the ways to improve the corrosion rate is to compose it’s with ceram...

in this study, the elemental powders of aluminum and copper were initially subjected to mechanical alloying using an attrition ball mill under argon atmosphere to produce an al-4.5 wt% cu powder alloy. the wc nanoparticles were then added to the powder alloy and milled in a planetary ball mill to explore the role of the wc nanoparticles on the mechanical properties of the fabricated composite p...
