This paper presents K-band-stepped, double-ridged square horn antennas fabricated by metallic 3D printing technology in copper (85% copper and 15% stannum) and aluminum alloy (89.5% aluminum, 10% silicon, and 0.5% magnesium). Compared with the popular dielectric 3D-printed horn antenna, the metallic counterpart features better mechanical robustness in terms of material. Moreover, the metallic h...

Development of an accurate neuronal material model for aluminum alloys would facilitate better process control and parameter optimization in the aircraft industry. This research primarily attempts to design a connectionist constitutive model for aluminum 7075 alloy using multi-layer perceptrons. The backpropagation algorithm is used to train the designed network whose performance is then valida...

The purpose of this investigation was to develop a coating technique and to study the characteristics of titanium–aluminum nitride [(Ti,Al)N] films deposited on a base-metal alloy (Wiron88R) substrate. Titanium–aluminum nitride thin films were deposited on the alloy surface using a reactive radiofrequency sputtering method. The electrochemical properties of three specimens with and without coat...

This paper will focus primarily alloy design for optimizing the reuse of recycled metal; this is both the most forward looking as we...

superplastic forming (spf) is a manufacturing process utilized in the automotive industry to produce complex geometry aluminum or magnesium alloy components which cannot be fabricated at room temperature. this paper investigates the effects of the die entry radius and the interfacial friction coefficient on the required forming time and thickness distribution of a superplastic formed part. a co...

Production of aluminum matrix composites is widespread because these material provide enhanced mechanical properties compared to aluminum. One the most important parameters of metal matrix composite production is uniform distribution of reinforcing nanoparticles in matrices using the stir-casting method. Second is ensuring high wettability, which is determined by evaluating the properties of ma...

In view of large interest in the improve of Al/Al alloy based Metal matrix Composite and high-temperature ceramics on the base of silicon carbide, a comprehensive review of the data on structure, properties and the known methods of processing of silicon carbide seems timely. The most striking feature of silicon carbide is its polytypism, i.e. formation of a great number of structural changes wi...
