Boron Nitride Unleashed: Revolutionary Insights into Its Superhard Phases and Machining Aptitude
Abstract: Exploration from the prehistoric era has proven steel to be a hard substance. According to research, the four main crystalline forms of boron nitride are graphitic, cubic, rhombohedral, and wurtzitic. Better hard materials for industrial processes have been provided by diamond, hard ceramic, and cermet in the process of developing the front of the script, which is descriptive. Turning, cutting, drilling, boring, and grinding of hard materials have been linked …

Mechanical Characterization of Prosopis Juliflora Fibre-Reinforced Epoxy Composites for Sustainable Automotive Applications
Abstract: This study investigates the potential of Prosopis juliflora (PJ) fibre as an eco-friendly, economical, and mechanically efficient reinforcement for epoxy-based polymer composites. Composite samples were produced using the compression moulding technique with epoxy-to-fibre weight ratios of 90:10, 85:15, and 80:20. Mechanical tests, including tensile, flexural, impact, and hardness evaluations, were conducted in accordance with relevant ASTM standards. The incorporation of PJ fibre resulted in significant improvements in the mechanical behaviour …
