Tribological and Mechanical Characteristics of Mg–Zn6.0–Y1.2–Zr0.2 alloy by SPS Technique: Natural and Agro-Waste Utilization

Abstract

In India, urban solid waste generation has risen over the last decade. The aspect of waste generation is a large amount of waste materials among all solid waste types. While using ash particles eliminates waste, it also contributes desirable qualities. In this research work, the effects of Himalayan nettle leaf ash (HNLA) bean pod ash (BPA) with molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) on the ZWK611 (Mg-Zn6.0-Y1.2-Zr0.2) alloy is examined. The as-cast alloy exhibits an α-Mg matrix, and cubic γ-phases are formed in addition to MoO3 particles. In this work, an attempt was made to choose a ZWK611 alloy reinforced with HNLA and BPA by varying weight percentages (X = 4, 8, 12, and 15%) with a constant weight percentage of MoO3 (5%) fabricated using spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The mechanical and physical properties were tested for both as-cast alloy and magnesium hybrid composites. Surface morphology and XRD are analysed to identify material behaviour. The addition of 12%(HNLA-BPA)/5%(MoO3) hybrid composite exhibits high strength as compared to the as-cast alloy.

Tribological and mechanical properties of FSW joints of untainted stainless steel and titanium: novel characterization of similar and dissimilar joints

“…The specimens were fabricated and welded, and their resistance to dry sliding wear was evaluated utilizing a pin-on-disc apparatus. The samples are prepared as per ASTM G99-95 norms [17]. The obtained mixtures ' wear loss, COF, and specific wear rate were evaluated by varying sliding velocity (1-5 m s −1 ), loads (10-50 N), and a constant sliding distance of 1000 m, respectively.…”

Hot deformation and fatigue behaviour of a zinc base doped biocompatible material: characterization of plasma spray coating on surface

“…A microhardness test was performed on the biocomposites NZ cross section in the surface normal to the FSP direction. Samples were tested using a 100 g load for 15 s. The device used for this test is a Vickers digital micro-hardness tester performed according to ASTM E9 standards [18].…”
