Deep Cryogenic Treatment of Copper Chill Plates in Stir Casting of Al6061-Silicon Carbide Composites
Abstract: Aluminum-Silicon Carbide Metal Matrix Composites (Al/SiC MMCs) represent advanced materials created through the integration of aluminum matrices with silicon carbide particle reinforcement. These composites demonstrate superior characteristics compared to conventional aluminum alloys, establishing their relevance across diverse engineering applications. This experimental investigation focuses on developing composites using aluminum as the base matrix while incorporating SiC particles (40-50μm particle size) as reinforcing agents. The reinforcement content was systematically varied from 3 …

Impressionism: Revolutionizing Art Through Chiaroscuro
Abstract: Impressionism, an influential art style that thrived from the 19th to the early 20th century, originated in Paris in the 1860s, with Claude Monet recognized as its pioneer. This movement arose as a reaction against the advent of photography, advocating for a novel representation of light and momentary impressions. Key contributors included Camille Pissarro, Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who collectively rejected the constraints of traditional public expectations …

Exploring Gelatin Film an Eco-Friendly Biomaterial: Synthesis, Characterization, and Environmental Applications
Abstract: This study explores the synthesis, characterization, and application of eco-friendly gelatin films, a sustainable and biodegradable biopolymer alternative to synthetic plastics. Synthesized via solution casting and characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, and TGA, these films demonstrated excellent molecular integrity and thickness-dependent properties, with higher gelatin concentrations leading to thicker films and delayed solubility. The research highlights their significant potential in removing diverse environmental pollutants, including dyes (methylene blue, methyl orange), …

Sustainable High-Strength Concrete: A Study on M60 Mixes with Alccofine as Supplementary Cementitious Material
Abstract: Concrete, which combines cement, water, aggregates, and admixtures to create a flexible material that solidifies into stone-like strength, is the foundation of contemporary building. Because of its versatility, it can be used for anything from pavements to skyscrapers, but typical mixes require large amounts of cement, which increases manufacturing costs and CO2 emissions. This study investigates the use ofAlccofine 1203, a powder made from ultrafine slag, as a partial substitute …

Enhancement of Flexural Strength in FDM-Printed Components through Taguchi-Based Process Parameter Optimization
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM), especially Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), has emerged as a widely adopted and versatile method for producing three-dimensional components. The process involves the deposition of a thermoplastic filament in a semi-molten state, which solidifies in successive layers to form the final structure. While this method enables the production of complex geometries at relatively low cost, the printed parts often exhibit inferior surface quality and reduced mechanical performance compared …

Impact of Mould Material on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Aluminium Castings: A Comparative Study with Aluminium Matrix Composites
Abstract: Casting has a wide industrial usage because it allows manufacturing complicated forms even at a comparatively low cost. Issues like transfer of heat through the interface of the mould and the metals, the rate of solidification, and the characteristics of the mould material have a powerful impact on the quality of cast products. This study measures the influence of various mould substances on the mechanical characteristics of aluminium castings. Sand, …
