  Recent Progress in Magnesium Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites: Processing, Properties, and Applications

  By N. Srilatha, V.V.D. Sahithi, H. Naresh

  Abstract: Magnesium hybrid composites have emerged as promising materials to meet the growing demands of advanced sectors such as biomedical, aerospace, defense, automotive, electronics, and marine industries. However, the inherent drawbacks of magnesium, specifically low wear resistance, have encouraged scientists to develop magnesium-based MMC with improved mechanical properties and thermal properties. To achieve this, various mixtures of reinforcement are employed. These include ceramics with high strength and wear resistance; solid lubricants …

  Multi Objective Optimization of Aluminium (AA6061-SiC-Flyash) Metal Matrix Composites using TOPSIS Method

  By V.V.D. Sahithi, Shishir Kasturi, K. Aruna Prabha, P. Prasad Kumar, PV Elumalai, Pratheeka Dahagam

  Abstract: Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) have significant interest due to their superior mechanical properties, including improved strength, hardness, and fracture resistance. This study investigates the optimization of the mechanical and fracture behaviour of casted AA6061-SiC-Fly Ash (FA) MMCs using the TOPSIS method. Silicon carbide(SiC) and fly ash (FA) reinforcements, with different weight percentages of 5%, 10%, and 15% were fabricated through sand casting method. Total 10 combinations of composites are prepared …
