In this present work effect of temperature and graphite contents on the microstructural and mechanical properties of iron based powder metallurgy freeform was studied. The different graphite contents (0%, 2%, 5% and 10%) were mixed in iron powder and compact them in 100 KN. These specimens were sintered at 7000 C, 8500 C and 10000 C in muffle furnaces. Microstructural properties were evaluated ...

magnesium is potentially useful for orthopedic and cardiovascular applications. magnesium and its alloys are light, biodegradable, biocompatible metals that have promising applications as biomaterials. 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 with ceramic...

Light weight materials coupled to the need for cost-effective processing have combined to create a significant opportunity for aluminium powder metallurgy as its increasing interest. Aluminium alloy (AA 2219) metal matrix composite reinforced with multi walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) produced by powder metallurgy (P/M) technique was analysed and CNTs dispersion were traced. The micro hardness a...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have become attractive for engineering structural applications due to their excellent specific strength property and are increasingly seen as alternative to the conventional materials particularly in the automotive, aerospace and defence industries. Al/SiC MMC has aluminium matrix and the silicon carbide particles as reinforcements and exhibits many desirable mech...

Microstructural and electrical properties of Cu-chromium alloy (Cu-Cr) dispersed with vapor-grown carbon fiber (VGCF) prepared by powder metallurgy (P/M) process have been investigated. Cu-0.7 mass% Cr pre-alloyed powder (Cu-Cr) made by water atomization process was used as raw materials, which contained solid solute Cr elements in Cu matrix. The alloy powder coated with un-bundled VGCF by usin...
