In-situ aluminum matrix composite is the innovation of high performance material technology and it has superior interfacial integrity and thermodynamic stability between the matrix and reinforcement. During synthesis, the ZrB2 particle is formed by exothermic reaction within the aluminum melt. As a result, small, fine and oxide free reinforcements are formed. Excessive temperature released from...

a high strength nickel chromium alloy (50cr-50ni-nb alloy), commonly referred to as in-657, is specifically used for components in furnaces which are fired by low grade fuel oils containing high levels of vanadium, sodium and sulphur. the purpose of this study is to experimentally investigatethe effect of machining parameters on machinability in turning of inconel 657. the considered parameters...

Stalbaum, Tyler P., M.S.I.E., Purdue University, May, 2013. High Speed Turning of Compact Graphite Iron using Controlled Modulation. Major Professors: Srinivasan Chandrasekar and W. Dale Compton. Compacted graphite iron (CGI) is a material which emerged as a candidate material to replace cast iron (CI) in the automotive industry for engine block castings. Its thermal and mechanical properties a...

Compacted graphite iron (CGI) is considered as the potential replacement of flake graphite iron (FGI) for the manufacturing of new generation high power diesel engines. Use of CGI, that have higher strength and stiffness as compared to FGI, allows engine to perform at higher peak pressure with higher fuel efficiency and lower emission rate. However, not only for its potential, CGI is of an area...

During machinability, the combination of machining process parameters and material properties component to be machined plays an important role. Material depend upon type phase form present grain size formed phases, which in turn depends prior treatment given alter initial room temperature types form. Accordingly, spheroidization was carried out on medium carbon steel (AISI1040) by altering stru...
