The effects of gas tungsten arch welding on the corrosion and mechanical properties of AA 6061 T6
(2013 , Article)
Corrosion of welded and un-welded Aluminum Alloy 6061 T6 was investigated by immersing specimens in 3.5% (wt) NaCl solution. Potentiodynamic and open circuit potential measurements were conducted. The mechanical properties ...
Thermal and mechanical properties of PP/HDPE/wood powder and MAPP/HDPE/wood powder polymer blend composites.
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
The morphology and properties of blends of PP/HDPE and MAPP/HDPE blends, and their composites with wood
powder, were investigated in this paper. The blends showed two-phase morphologies, and MAPP interacted
better than ...
Melt processing and properties of linear low density polyethylene-graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Composites of Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) were processed using a twin screw extruder under different extrusion conditions. The effects of screw speed, feeder speed and GNP ...
Improvement of ternary recycled polymer blend reinforced with date palm fibre
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
This paper investigates the study and preparation of date palm fibre reinforced recycled polymer blend composites. This is the first paper which describes the recycled polymer ternary blends of (1) recycled low density ...
Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of twinned AZ31 alloy plates at lower elevated temperature
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The AZ31 alloy plates were pre-rolled at room temperature along the transverse direction to introduce extension twinning. The effect of pre-existing twins on the mechanical properties of AZ31 alloy plates at lower elevated ...
Multi-component MWCNT/NG/EP-based bipolar plates with enhanced mechanical and electrical characteristics fabricated by compression moulding
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In this work, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), natural graphite (NG) and epoxy (EP) were used to fabricate bipolar plates by the compression moulding technique. The mechanical and thermal behaviours of the as-developed ...
Silk as a reinforcement in polymer matrix composites
(2015 , Book chapter)
Natural fibers perform well as reinforcement materials in polymer matrix composites and provide ecological and environmental advantages. Both plant- and animal-based natural fibers have been studied for their mechanical ...
Enhancing thermal and mechanical response of aluminum using nanolength scale TiC ceramic reinforcement
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
the present work, nano-sized titanium carbide (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%) reinforced aluminum (Al) metal matrix composites were synthesized by powder metallurgy incorporating microwave sintering and hot extrusion. Microstructural, ...
Effect of microwave sintering on the properties of copper oxide doped Y-TZP ceramics
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The effect of various amounts of copper oxide (CuO) up to 1 wt% on the densification behaviour and mechanical properties of 3 mol% yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) were studied by using microwave (MW) sintering ...
Characterizing biaxially stretched polypropylene/graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
International Committee on Composite Materials
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
During moulding processes such as thermoforming and blow moulding, heated polymer materials are subjected to rapid biaxial deformation as they are drawn into the shape of a mould. It is therefore essential to accurately ...
