Damage accumulation and failure behaviors are crucial concerns during the design and
service of a critical component, leading researchers and engineers to thoroughly identifying …

This study proposes an automated quantification technique for reinforcement dispersion in
metal matrix composites. While a fine and homogeneous dispersion of reinforcements is …

Dissimilar joining of mild steel and Fe-7% Al alloy was carried out using electron beam
welding (EBW) process under three different weld operating conditions such as with beam …

In this work, the fatigue initiation in a particle-reinforced aluminium matrix composite was
investigated. The fatigue cracks mostly initiate at multiple sites associated with TiB 2 and …

Boron carbide (B 4 C) reinforced aluminum (Al) alloy composites containing continuous
multi-interphases were successfully fabricated by stir casting process. The B 4 C/Al reaction …

Al-Si alloys are widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries. Porosity is
