In the present study, Al5083- Al2O3 nanocomposite was successfully prepared by friction stir processing (FSP) with rotational speed of 710 rpm and travel speed of 14 mm/min. In order to improve distribution of Al2O3 particles, a net of holes were designed on the surface of Al5083 sheet. The samples were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microhardness, tensile and ...

Two types of Aluminum nitride (AlN) based ceramic nanocomposite with multifunctionality were investigated to improve machinability or electrical conductivity of AlN ceramics with high thermal conductivity. The AlN/BN nanocomposite was fabricated by pressureless sintering AlN-BN composite powder, which was prepared by reducing and heating AlN particles coated with a mixture of boric acid, urea a...

Nanostructured ceramics and their composites possess improved properties such as tensile strength, fatigue strength, hardness, and wear resistance. Freestanding, near-net shape, nanostructured Al2O3 components can be synthesized via plasma-spray forming. In this study, plasma-spray parameters were optimized and an innovative substrate cooling technique was developed to retain nanosize Al2O3 in ...

Our aim of is to develop a processing method for a rotating disc made of functionally graded materials (FGM), by stacking the slurry, layer by layer in a radial direction. A three-layer functionally graded material of Al/Al2O3 is fabricated with compositions of 10, 20, 30 vol.% Al2O3. The ceramic composition increases from the discs inner (centre) to the outer. The combination of these material...

Friction stir processing (FSP) offers a unique opportunity to tailor the microstructure and improve mechanical properties due combination of extensive strains, high temperatures, high-strain rates inherent process.
