This work investigates mechanical properties and corrosion resistances of cast copper-tungsten carbide (WC) metal matrix composites (MMCs). Copper matrix composites have been developed by stir casting technique. Different ...

This paper is aimed to monitor tool wear in diamond turn machining (DTM), assess effects of tool wear on accuracies of the machined component, and develop compensation methodology to enhance size and shape accuracies of a ...

Barkhausen Noise analysis is a popular and preferred technique for micro-structural characterization. The root mean square value and peak value of Barkhausen Noise burst are important parameters to assess the micro-hardness ...

Incremental sheet forming (ISF) process is a flexible manufacturing process to produce complex 3D products at reasonable manufacturing cost. An advantage of ISF is the improved formability than traditional sheet forming ...

The present paper aims to investigate the feasibility of bulk processing of Al-Si alloys under different processing temperatures. Three different compositions of Al-Si alloys (namely A356, Al-11Si-2.5Cu-0.6Fe, and ...

This paper deals with understanding the effects of excitation field parameters on the nature of Barkhausen noise profile in order to improve the validity of Barkhausen noise results for the machining process. The experiment ...

In the present investigation, the COOH-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) having an outer diameter of 20-30 nm and length 1−2 μm were dispersed in four different grades of polyalphaolefins (PAOs; i.e., ...

Response surface methodology was employed to determine the optimum condition for the torrefaction of pigeon pea stalk. Based on the statistical analysis, the effect of operating parameters on responses (HHV and energy ...

Energetic and exergetic analyses of the plate heat exchanger are experimentally performed using Al2O3–TiO2 hybrid nanofluid as a coolant for sub-ambient temperature application to study the effect of nanoparticle volume ...

In the present study, a novel compact size convective batch-type solar-infrared assisted heat pump dryer is developed and experimentally investigated for closed air cycle drying of banana chips. Performances of four different ...
