Machinability of Nickel-Based Superalloy by Abrasive Water Jet Machining

This paper deals with the machinability of nickel-based superalloys using abrasive water jet machining process. The machining studies were carried out with three different parameters such as water jet pressure, traverse speed of jet nozzle, and standoff distance at three different levels. The performances of the process parameters are evaluated by measuring difference in kerf width, kerf wall inclination, and material removal rate (MRR). Further, the surface morphology and material removal mechanisms are analyzed through scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. It is found that water jet pressure is the most influencing factor related to surface morphology and surface quality.     

Hybrid Composite Using Natural Filler and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs)

This paper presents an experimental study on the development of hybrid composites comprising of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and natural filler (oil palm shell (OPS) powder) within unsaturated polyester (UP) matrix. The results revealed that the dispersion of pristine MWCNTs in the polymer matrix was strongly enhanced through use of the solvent mixing method assisted by ultrasonication. Four different solvents were investigated, namely, ethanol, methanol, styrene and acetone. The best compatibility with minimum side effects on the curing of the polyester resin was exhibited by the styrene solvent and this produced the maximum tensile and flexural properties of the resulting nanocomposites. A relatively small amount of pristine MWCNTs well dispersed within the natural filler polyester composite was found to be capable of improving mechanical properties of hybrid composite. However, increasing the MWCNT amount resulted in increased void content within the matrix due to an associated rapid increase in viscosity of the mixture during processing. Due to this phenomenon, the maximum tensile and flexural strengths of the hybrid composites were achieved at MWCNT contents of 0.2 to 0.4 phr and then declined for higher MWCNT amounts. The flexural modulus also experienced its peak at 0.4 phr MWCNT content whereas the tensile modulus exhibited a general decrease with increasing MWCNT content. Thermal stability analysis using TGA under an oxidative atmosphere showed that adding MWCNTs shifted the endset degradation temperature of the hybrid composite to a higher temperature.

Mechanical,Hygric, and Thermal Properties of Cement-Based Composite with Hybrid Fiber Reinforcement Subjected to High Temperatures

The tensile strength, bending strength, water vapor diffusion resistance factor, gas permeability, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and linear thermal expansion coefficient of a cement-based composite with hybrid PVA-fiber reinforcement are determined as functions of thermal pre-treatment, the loading temperatures being 600 °C, 800 °C, and 1000 °C. The experimental results show that the most important changes in all studied parameters occur between the unloaded state and the loading temperature of 600 °C and then between 800 °C and 1000 °C. Although seemingly high, these changes are still small as compared to many other cement-based composites. The positive effect of using PVA fibers for the high-temperature behavior of the studied composite can be seen mainly in their ability to prevent thermal spalling which is a serious deterioration effect for cement-based composites.     

Improvement of Machinability using Laser-Aided Hybrid Machining for Inconel 718 Alloy

Hybrid machining is an emerging technique for difficult-to-cut materials to overcome the problems associated with conventional machining (CM). Inconel 718, a super alloy of nickel, is a high-temperature alloy commonly used in aircraft and thermal industries and categorized as one among the difficult-to-cut materials. In this study, the influence of cutting conditions of Inconel 718 alloy during laser-assisted hybrid machining (LAHM) is investigated and the results are compared with CM. During LAHM, the process parameters of cutting speed, feed rate, approach angle, and laser power are varied. The present work is carried out in two phases: (i) determination of effective heat-affected depth (HAD) during laser preheating (using central composite design (CCD) in response surface methodology); (ii) optimization of cutting conditions during machining (using Taguchi's method). Compared with CM, the LAHM shows the following reduction benefits: (i) 33% in feed force (Fx), 42% in thrust force (Fy), and 28% in cutting force; (ii) improved surface finish (surface roughness, Ra) of 28%; and (iii) reduction in tool wear by 50%. The chip morphology reveals the decrease in shear angle and increase in chip thickness during LAHM. No change in the hardness value of the machined surface after LAHM indicates the absence of subsurface damage.     

Preparation of SiC Fiber Reinforced Nickel Matrix Composite

A method of preparing continuous(Al+Al2O3)-coated SiC fiber reinforced nickel matrix composite was presented,in which the diffusion between SiC fiber and nickel matrix could be prevented.Magnetron sputtering is used to deposit Ni coating on the surface of the(Al+Al2O3)-coated SiC fiber in preparation of the precursor wires.It is shown that the deposited Ni coating combines well with the(Al+Al2O3) coating and has little negative effect on the tensile strength of(Al+Al2O3)-coated SiC fiber.Solid-state diffusion bonding process is employed to prepare the(Al+Al2O3)-coated SiC fiber reinforced nickel matrix with 37% fibers in volume.The solid-state diffusion bonding process is optimized and the optimum parameters are temperature of 870,pressure of 50 MPa and holding time of 2 h.Under this condition,the precursor wires can diffuse well,composite of full density can be formed and the(Al+Al2O3) coating is effective to restrict the reaction between SiC fiber and nickel matrix.

Separation of the Martensite in TiNi Fiber Reinforced Aluminum Matrix Composite

The reverse martensitic transformation of TiNi shape memory alloy fibers embedded in a pure aluminum matrix was studied in this paper. Results showed that the phase composition of the TiNi alloy fibers prior to prestraining at the room temperature had a significant influence on the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results of the composites. By a comparison to the high temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) results, it was confirmed that the martensite was divided into two groups: the self-accommodating martensite (SAM) and the preferentially oriented martensite (POM). The evolving process of the separation of martensite was discussed.

Enhanced Dielectric Performance in Polymer Composite Films with Carbon Nanotube‐Reduced Graphene Oxide Hybrid Filler

The electrical conductivity and the specific surface area of conductive fillers in conductor‐insulator composite films can drastically improve the dielectric performance of those films through changing their polarization density by interfacial polarization. We have made a polymer composite film with a hybrid conductive filler material made of carbon nanotubes grown onto reduced graphene oxide platelets (rG‐O/CNT). We report the effect of the rG‐O/CNT hybrid filler on the dielectric performance of the composite film. The composite film had a dielectric constant of 32 with a dielectric loss of 0.051 at 0.062 wt% rG‐O/CNT filler and 100 Hz, while the neat polymer film gave a dielectric constant of 15 with a dielectric loss of 0.036. This is attributed to the increased electrical conductivity and specific surface area of the rG‐O/CNT hybrid filler, which results in an increase in interfacial polarization density between the hybrid filler and the polymer.     

Simulating Resin Infusion through Textile Reinforcement Materials for the Manufacture of Complex Composite Structures

Increasing demand for weight reduction and greater fuel efficiency continues to spur the use of composite materials in commercial aircraft structures. Subsequently, as composite aerostructures become larger and more complex, traditional autoclave manufacturing methods are becoming prohibitively expensive. This has prompted renewed interest in out-of-autoclave processing techniques in which resins are introduced into a reinforcing preform. However, the success of these resin infusion methods is highly dependent upon operator skill and experience, particularly in the development of new manufacturing strategies for complex parts. Process modeling, as a predictive computational tool, aims to address the issues of reliability and waste that result from traditional trial-and-error approaches. Basic modeling attempts, many of which are still used in industry, generally focus on simulating fluid flow through an isotropic porous reinforcement material. However, recent efforts are beginning to account for the multiscale and multidisciplinary complexity of woven materials, in simulations that can provide greater fidelity. In particular, new multi-physics process models are able to better predict the infusion behavior through textiles by considering the effect of fabric deformation on permeability and porosity properties within the reinforcing material. In addition to reviewing previous research related to process modeling and the current state of the art, this paper highlights the recent validation of a multi-physics process model against the experimental infusion of a complex double dome component. By accounting for deformation-dependent flow behavior, the multi-physics process model was able to predict realistic flow behavior, demonstrating considerable improvement over basic isotropic permeability models.
