TL;DR: Tensile and impact testing and hardness measurements were carried out on hot forged aluminium metal matrix composites to understand the influence of alloying element and forming process on their mechanical properties as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the densification behavior and forming limits of carbon steel preforms with different aspect ratios, during cold upsetting with two different lubricating constraints namely nil/no and graphite lubricant were investigated experimentally and presented in this work.

TL;DR: In this article, cold upsetting experiments were performed on sintered Fe-0.8%C-1.0%Si-Si-Cu steel preforms in order to evaluate the strain hardening characteristics.

TL;DR: In this paper, two key strain hardening parameters are used to study the workability behavior or determining the failure zone of powder metallurgy (PM) forming process, which can be used for design of PM parts and most importantly the die design as repressing needs to be employed before pores appear as cracks on the free surface.

TL;DR: In this article, the cold workability behavior of Cu-7%Al-1.8%Si sintered preforms with various aspect ratios was investigated and the working behaviour of the preforms at various stress state conditions was computed.
