Workability Behavior of Copper–Tungsten and Graphite Composites
Abstract: Workability is a measure of deformation that powder metallurgy materials can withstand prior to fracture occurring in the formation or upsetting process. Nowadays, copper-based sintered composites produced by powder metallurgy processes are widely used in bearings and bushes. Also composites based on copper–tungsten (Cu–W) composite containing a solid lubricant (Graphite) have been developed as self-lubricating materials under the conditions of load, atmosphere and temperature. However, it should be noted that …

Effect of machining parameters on the tool wear in drilling of 3D PF C/C composite
Abstract: Carbon–carbon (C/C) composites are broadly used in aerospace, defence, shipbuilding, chemical, and nuclear industries owing to their high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. However, they are brittle, anisotropic and non-homogeneous in nature, making them difficult to machine. Incorrect machining parameters can cause defects such as burrs, delamination, and fibre bundles pullout. This paper aims to study the hole surface and tool wear during drilling of 3D pierced fabric (PF) carbon-carbon (C/C) …
