Tensile and Microstructural Behaviour of Friction Stir Welded AL7050 Hybrid Composites Reinforced with Multani Mitti and Cow Dung Ash
Abstract: The study examines Al7050 aluminum alloy composites made by stir casting and bonded by friction stir welding (FSW), supplemented with environmentally friendly Multani Mitti (MM) and cow dung ash (CDA). The study assesses the effects of different hybrid reinforcement contents (0–8 vol%) on the microstructural properties, hardness, and tensile behavior of the base alloy and its FSW joints. Tensile testing reveals an initial decline at 2% reinforcement but a notable …

Improving Highway Surface Course Properties of Asphalt Concrete for Heavy Traffic Loading using Mineral Fillers
Abstract: Failure signs seen on both rigid and flexible pavement as distresses is most often instigated by mix properties of the surface due to many factors. Traffic loading, Stripping or raveling is another possible cause of such effects. Stripping occurs when poor adhesion between asphalt cement and aggregate allows the aggregate at the surface to dislodge. As a result, mineral fillers in hot-mix asphalt concrete to obtain certain desirable properties has …

Organic Farming
Abstract: Organic farming is an agricultural production management system that excludes all synthetic off-farm inputs and instead relies on on-farm agronomic, biological, and mechanical practices. This sustainable approach focuses on methods such as crop rotations, the use of crop residues, animal manures, off-farm organic waste, and mineral-grade rock additives to maintain soil fertility and health. Organic farming also employs biological systems for nutrient mobilization and plant protection, reducing or eliminating the …
