The thixoforming process with feedstock preparation yields a fine microstructure and
enhanced mechanical properties relative to other traditional casting processes. However …

This paper deals with the development and performance of metal matrix composite for brake
pad with NiSO 4 as filler materials in terms of manufacturing ability and a good amount of …

The machinability in turning of Al-Si-Mg alloys under as-cast and heat-treated conditions has
been investigated. Three alloys with 3%, 7% and 12% Si and 0.6% Mg contents (wt%) were …

This paper analyzes the effect of both solidification and heat treatment process on
microstructure, microhardness, electrical resistivity and electrical conductivity (ρ and σ) in an …

The effects of heat treatment on the microstructural evolution and mechanical behavior of Al-
Si-Cu alloy were investigated. Solution heat treatment was performed at 500oC/6h and …

The combined effects of solidification microstructure refining scale and T6 heat treatment
conditions on corrosion behaviour and Vickers microhardness of an Al–3 wt-% Cu–0.5 wt …

In the present work the effect of non-isothermal heat treatments on the microstructure and
corrosion resistance of a hypoeutectic Al-Si-Cu die-cast alloy was studied. The …

Aluminum alloys are widely used to produce automotive components, thanks to their great
mechanical properties–to–density ratio. Engine components such as pistons are …

Copper foils with excellent bending property were fabricated by double-rolling followed by
cross rolling. The deformation characteristics of the two advanced rolling processes …

In this study, the influence of the in-situ tribo-oxide-layer on non-lubricated tribological
behaviours of LM27/SiCp composites was studied at different applied loads. For this …
