Fracture behavior of 2124Al- 10vol% SiCp composite tensile specimens for different heat treatment conditionsBy T. Parameshwaran Pillai, K. S. Sajikumar, K. Prasanth Kumar Reddy, B. Nageswara Rao
Abstract: This article presents experimental details on 2124Al-10vol% SiCp composite tensile specimens, which were made by squeeze casting process. Cast metal composites are generally very brittle and have poor mechanical properties. To strengthen the matrix and improve ductility, the specimens were heat-treated by solutionizing and aging. Experiments were carried out at 3 different solutionizing temperatures, solutionizing time, aging temperature and aging time to examine the influence of heat treatment process parameters …

Optimal Abrasive Jet Machining Parameters for Glass Fiber Reinforced PlasticsBy K. Prasanth Kumar Reddy, Shyam Prasad Kodali, N. Rajesh, T. Parameshwaran Pillai, B. Nageswara Rao
Abstract: Abrasive jet machining (AJM) is a best choice for processing of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP). Inherent to the nonlinear behavior of performance characteristics during repeated experiments are inevitable variations, attributed to measurement errors and unknown influencing input variables. This study employs the Taguchi method with an orthogonal array to systematically identify optimal input variables through a limited number of experiments. The paper introduces a direct and reliable Taguchi-based multi-objective …
