High density Fe-P binary, Fe-P-Cr ternary as well as Fe-P-Cr-Si quaternary alloys were made using hot powder forging technique. In this process mild steel encapsulated hot powders (blend of iron powder and iron phosphide ...

Recently, attention has been directed towards the nanowires of spa-bonded elemental silicon, which is a quasi-one dimensional crystalline material with a tetrahedral bonded structure. Because of its small dimension, unique ...

A lot of research has been done on carbon steels and high alloy steels, for improvement of their mechanical and triological properties. Among low alloy steels Cr-V steel, Mn steel, Mo steel were studied for wear resistance ...

Aluminum alloy metal matrix composites reinforced with alumina particles are considered as a group of advanced materials for their light weight and good wear resistance properties. Normally, in Al-alloy/ A1203 in-situ ...

An attempt has been made to find the fracture toughness of hypo-eutectoid carbon steel by cylindrical tensile test specimen having circular notch at the middle of the specimen. Though this type of specimen has not been ...

Ceramic and ceramic composites are promising materials having rather high strength characteristics but quite low crack resistance property at the same time. This is one of the major factors hindering the wide scale application ...

Super alloys are metallic materials which exhibit high heat resistance even at temperatures of up to 90% of their absolute melting point. This is normally achieved by the combined hardening effect of carbides & rare earth ...

Heavy damages of under water parts in. hydroelectric projects due to hard silt particles are responsible for serious erosion problem. Solid particle erosion is a major problem in hydro and steam turbines. Various grades ...

The surface of gray cast iron has been modified by TIG welding process. 25, 35, & 45 A of currents have been used to melt the surface of the gray cast iron. Microstructural characterization of these modified surfaces has ...

Composite materials with their well-known advantages have found widespread usage in various engineering applications. The metal matrix composites are, perhaps, the most important class among composites for automobile and ...
