Mechanical and Microstructure Properties of Al and SiC Reinforced Aluminum-Based Metal Matrix Composite
Abstract: It is becoming increasingly difficult to design new technical materials that are resistant to wear damage and corrosion degradation in severe service circumstances. Unfortunately, even with crucial passive metals, like Al alloys, there is often a compromise between wear and corrosion resistance. Because of the unfavorable galvanic connection between the precipitates and the matrix, precipitates not only harden the material but also accelerate corrosion. This research established that a supersaturated …

Microstructural and Hardness Study of A390/20wt.% SiC Functionally Graded Metal Matrix Composite
Abstract: Functionally graded materials are the upcoming new class of advanced materials, which exhibit gradual change in the microstructure and the composition in a definite direction, and hence variation in functional performance within a part. Functionally graded metal matrix composites (FGMMC) are FGM with metal and ceramic constituents. Aluminum-Silicon alloys are well-known for their unique combination of desirable characteristics, which includes excellent castability and less density combined with good mechanical properties. …

Advanced Magnesium-Based Metallic GlassComposites for Biomedical Implant Applications: AMachine-Learning-Informed Approach
Abstract: Magnesium-based bulk metallic glasses (Mg-BMGs) combine strength, low density, and tunable degradability. Their amorphous matrix has a small plastic process zone. This zone is only about 4 μm wide. A small process zone keeps most glasses brittle. Adding a second phase is the best fix. This chapter extends Mg-BMGs to true composites. We call these Mg-based bulk metallic glass composites, or Mg- BMGCs. The chapter covers matrix engineering and interfacial …

Integrating 3D Printing Technology in Sustainable Interior Design forEnhanced Human Comfort and Environmental Stewardship
Abstract: As people spend nearly 70% of their time indoors, the quality of interior environments has a significant impact on human comfort, health, and overall well-being. Many indoor spaces are negatively affected by pollutants and toxins originating from construction materials, furnishings, surface finishes, and inadequate ventilation, often contributing to issues such as Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). Enhancing indoor environmental quality (IEQ) has therefore become a critical concern within sustainable design. This …
