In this study, nano-sized Si3N4 (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%)/Al composites were fabricated using a powder metallurgy method involving microwave sintering technique followed by hot extrusion. The influence of Si3N4 content ...

High strength low alloy (HSLA) steels demonstrate improved mechanical and anticorrosion properties when compared to plain carbon steels. HSLA steels have succeeded to find their major applications in industries such as ...

The development of nanoscience and technology has devoted significant attention to conducting studies on hollow particles. Among the available materials, mesoporous silica nanoparticles have recently gained attention as ...

Corrosion is a significant problem and is, to a large extent, responsible for the degradation of metallic parts. In this direction, mesoporous silica particles (MSPs) were synthesized by a sol–gel technique and had an ...

In this work, Al-B4C nanocomposites were produced by microwave sintering and followed by hot extrusion processes. The influence of ceramic reinforcement (B4C) nanoparticles on the physical, microstructural, mechanical, and ...
