Effect of Nanoclay Loading on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Composites
Abstract: The effects of multilayer silicate loading on hardness, tensile, and impact properties were examined by developing epoxy–nanoclay composites with 0–5 wt% nanoclay. A desirable compromise between reduced void content and higher Shore D hardness was reached with an ideal nanoclay loading of 3 wt%, which reflected improved load transfer and increased matrix stiffness as a result of limited polymer chain mobility. Tensile strength and modulus rose up to 3 wt% …

Effect of Solution Heat Treatment and Aging on the tensile Properties of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy Component Manufactured by Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing
Abstract: Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a cost-effective technique for fabricating components from the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, known for its high strength and utility in demanding applications. To maximize its strength, the alloy undergoes Solution Treating and Aging heat treatment, comprising three key steps: (i) Solution Treating: The alloy is heated to 950°C (just below the β transus) and held for 1 hour, increasing the β phase proportion. This step sets …

Improving the Mechanical and Interfacial Properties of Bhendi Fiber via Chemical Surface Treatments
Abstract: Because of its primary benefits—moderate strength and stiffness, low cost, and being a renewable, degradable, and ecologically friendly material—natural fibers are believed to have potential use as reinforcing agents in polymer composite materials. Due to their inherent hydrophilicity, they have a tendency to retain moisture, which can impair or soften the fibers' adhesion to the surrounding matrix. This can have an impact on the performance of composite materials used in …
