Characterization of Al6082 and Magnesium AZ3lB Composite Produced by The Friction Stir Additive Manufacturing
Abstract: In this modern era, lighter and stronger materials are needed. This is especially true for materials needed in aerospace, robotics, light aircraft, defence, and transportation. When comparison to backbone products in order composite goods have a higher durability & stiffness-to-weight proportion .Most of the newer fabricating methods, called friction stir additive manufacturing (FSAM), uses solid-state drives friction stirring technology to produce bilayer structures by sequentially fusing discrete strata. In this …

Nanostructure-Induced Thermoelectric Enhancement in Bi₂Te₃ Nanorods Design, Analysis, and Performance Evaluation
Abstract: Thermoelectric materials capable of efficient energy conversion near room temperature are critical for waste heat recovery applications. In this work, solution-grown Bi₂Te₃ nanorods were synthesized via a trioctylphosphine-assisted thermal decomposition route, and the influence of surfactant-induced nanostructuring on their thermoelectric properties was systematically investigated. Structural analysis using X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement confirmed the formation of rhombohedral Bi₂Te₃ with the emergence of Bi₂Te₃–BiTe nanocomposites at higher surfactant concentrations. Electron microscopy …
