  Enhancement of Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Aluminum-Titanium Carbide (Al-TiC) Metal Matrix Composites via Powder Metallurgy

  By S. Ramesh Kumar, Kopanathi Manish, Kotthapalli Karthik, Priyaranjan Samal

  Abstract: Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have emerged as a result of the increasing need for sophisticated lightweight materials with exceptional mechanical and tribological qualities. For structural and wear-critical applications, aluminum-based composites supplemented with ceramic particles such as titanium carbide (TiC) have shown great promise. In this work, aluminum-TiC composites made by powder metallurgy a process that guarantees even particle dispersion, regulated porosity, and the creation of near-net shapes are fabricated, mechanically …

  Wear Behavior and Mechanical Characterization of Pure Aluminum Reinforced with RHA by Using Powder Metallurgy Method

  By Kopanathi Manish, Priyaranjan Samal, Kotthapalli Karthik

  Abstract: In recent years, composites made from aluminum and its alloys have gained significant attention due to their optimal blend of low weight, high strength, impressive toughness, enhanced thermal stability, straightforward casting processes, superior corrosion resistance, and availability compared to unreinforced aluminum and its alloys. These aluminum-based composites are widely utilized in producing components for industries such as automotive, aerospace, marine, and nuclear. Rice husk ash (RHA) is a fine, powdery …
