Study on mechanical and wear properties of Al 7075/Al2O3/graphite hybrid composites

Abstract: This work investigated the influence of graphite on the wear behavior of Al 7075/Al 2 O 3 /5 wt.% graphite hybrid composite. The investigation reveals the effectiveness of incorporation of graphite in the composite for gaining wear reduction. The Al 7075 (aluminium alloy 7075) reinforced with Al 2 O 3 –graphite were investigated. The composites were fabricated using liquid metallurgy route. Ceramic particles along with solid lubricating materials were incorporated into aluminium alloy matrix to accomplish reduction in both wear resistance and coefficient of friction. The Al 7075/Al 2 O 3 /graphite hybrid composite was prepared with 5 wt.% graphite particles addition and 2, 4, 6 and 8 wt.% of Al 2 O 3 . The hardness, tensile strength, flexural strength and compression strength of the Al 7075–Al 2 O 3 –graphite hybrid composites are found to be increased by increased weight percentage of ceramic phase. The wear properties of the hybrid composites containing graphite exhibited the superior wear-resistance properties.

Study on the mechanical properties and thermal properties of jute and banana fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composites

Abstract: The aim of the present study is to investigate and compare the mechanical and thermal properties of raw jute and banana fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composites. To improve the mechanical properties, jute fiber was hybridized with banana fiber. The jute and banana fibers were prepared with various weight ratios (100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75 and 0/100) and then incorporated into the epoxy matrix by moulding technique to form composites. The tensile, flexural, impact, thermal and water absorption tests were carried out using hybrid composite samples. This study shows that addition of banana fiber in jute/epoxy composites of up to 50% by weight results in increasing the mechanical and thermal properties and decreasing the moisture absorption property. Morphological analysis was carried out to observe fracture behavior and fiber pull-out of the samples using scanning electron microscope.

Concrete with ceramic waste aggregate

Abstract: Use of hazardous industrial wastes in concrete-making will lead to greener environment. In ceramic industry about 30% production goes as waste, which is not recycled at present. In this study an attempt has been made to find the suitability of the ceramic industrial wastes as a possible substitute for conventional crushed stone coarse aggregate. Experiments were carried out to determine the compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths and the modulus of elasticity of concrete with ceramic waste coarse aggregate and to compare them with those of conventional concrete made with crushed stone coarse aggregate. The properties of the aggregates were also compared. Test results indicate that the workability of ceramic waste coarse aggregate concrete is good and the strength characteristics are comparable to those of the conventional concrete.
