Abstract An Al-12Si/Al-3.5 Cu-1.5 Mg-1Si bimetal with a good interface was successfully
produced by selective laser melting (SLM). The SLM bimetal exhibits four successive zones …

The low density of Mg alloys (~ 1.8 g/cm3) along with high strength, high elastic modulus
and good capability to resist impact load than aluminum alloys make them a suitable …

A series of SiC/Al composites with different contents of 3-dimensional graphene networks
(3DGN) were prepared by using mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering …

Double zincate treatment is of considerable importance to provide a reliable interconnection
between the aluminum surface and upper coatings. In this work, we focus on etching as a …

In this research work, wear characteristics of the Al2024 alloy exposed to friction stir
processing (FSP) with/without addition of the Ti2SC MAX phase have been investigated …

Abstract Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) has been recognized, in the recent past, as a very
useful method to produce metal matrix composites with enhanced mechanical and wear …

Pulse electrodepositions of nanocomposite coating in metal and alloy have found a wide
range of industrial application due to their better hardness and wear resistance. The main …

Aluminum composite coatings deposited by flame spray with nanometric materials as
reinforcement have been used to produce high-performance coatings. The addition of …

The strength of nano coatings predominantly depends on the selection of optimum
combination of input parameters. This problem can be solved by developing an empirical …

Light-weight components accompanied with excellent surface characteristics are strongly
desired in structural applications. Surface composite is the modern alternative developed to …
