  Process Parameters Optimization of Fiber Laser Cladded SS316 Surface Using RSM Analysis

  By Vikas Kumar, Ravi Shankar Rai, Rajeev Kumar

  Abstract: This paper presents the laser cladding experiments on the surface of SS316 to study the variations in process parameters, such as scanning speed (100-250 mm/min), laser power (50-250 W), and % volume of B4C (5- 25%) + SS316 powder on the mechanical, metallurgical and tribological performance of the modified surface. A central composite design (CCD) was used to develop the response surface methodology (RSM) to design the experiments and for …

  Fabrication and Evaluation of Aluminum Hybrid Metal Matrix Composite via Powder Metallurgy Approach

  By A.K. Sethi, A Nirala, Om Vikash, Prateek Kumar, Nitesh Pandey

  Abstract: The growing demand for lightweight materials in modern automotive industries has spurred the development of Aluminum-based metal matrix composites (AMMC). Utilizing the powder metal-lurgy method for fabrication offers a cost-effective alternative to other methods. Composites of Al6061 with varying compositions of 6–18 wt% SiC (8 microns) and 6–18 wt% B4C (10 mi-crons) were prepared to assess their physical and mechanical properties. Scanning Electron Mi-croscope analysis revealed uniform dispersion of SiC …
