Related to traditional engineering materials, magnesium alloy-based composites have the potential for automobile applications and exhibit superior specific mechanical behavior. This study aims to synthesize the magnesium alloy (AZ61) composite configured with 0 wt%, 4 wt%, 8 wt%, and 12 wt% of silicon nitride micron particles, developed through a two-step stir-casting process under an argon environment. The synthesized cast AZ61 alloy matrix and its alloy embedded with 4 wt%, 8 wt%, and 12 wt% of Si3N4 are subjected to an abrasive water jet drilling/machining (AJWM) process under varied input sources such as the diameter of the drill (D), transverse speed rate (v), and composition of AZ61 composite sample. Influences of AJWM input sources on metal removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra) are calculated for identifying the optimum input source factors to attain the best output responses like maximum MRR and minimum Ra via analysis of variant (ANOVA) Taguchi route with L16 design

A growing number of industries are utilizing friction stir welding (FSW), which has shown promise for joining different materials. In this study, the impacts of rotation speed and tool pin shape are examined, as well as the FSW zone generation in the magnesium alloy AZ31. The physical attributes of rotation speed, feed rate, pin profile shape, and the mechanical properties of the AZ31 magnesium alloy hardness, impact energy, and tensile strength are examined in this research to determine the properties of FSW. Under optimal conditions, taper-threaded tool pins, 40 mm/min welding speed, and 1000 rpm rotation speed achieved maximal micro-hardness. The FSW tool creates heat at 1000 rpm, improving the softened metal’s mechanical properties. Thus, the metal content in the stir zone was uniform. Some process variables impacted the response surface methodology (RSM) parametric design and subsequent optimization procedure. According to the analysis, the tool’s rotational speed was the key

The aerospace industry's unceasing quest for lightweight materials with exceptional mechanical properties has led to groundbreaking advancements in material technology. Historically, aluminum alloys and their composites have held the throne in aerospace applications owing to their remarkable strength-to-weight ratio. However, recent developments have catapulted magnesium and its alloys into the spotlight. Magnesium possesses two-thirds of aluminum's density, making it a tantalizing option for applications with regard to weight-sensitive aerospace components. To further enhance magnesium's mechanical properties, researchers have delved into the realm of metal matrix composites (MMCs), using reinforcements such as Alumina, Silicon carbide, Boron carbide and Titanium carbide. However, meager information is available as regards to use of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a reinforcement in magnesium based MMCs although, CNTs exhibit excellent stiffness coupled with very low density

This study focuses on enhancing the corrosion resistance of AZ91D magnesium alloy, known for its impressive strength-to-weight ratio within the magnesium group. Despite its lightweight properties, the alloy's moderate corrosion and wear resistance have restricted its widespread use. To address this limitation, we explored the application of the Dow 17 process to enable hard anodizing of AZ91D magnesium alloy. Our primary objective is to investigate the impact of hard anodizing on AZ91D magnesium alloy and its potential to mitigate corrosion issues. Hard anodizing results in the formation of a robust oxide film on the alloy's surface. We posit that this oxide film can significantly reduce substrate corrosion, expanding the alloy's utility in various applications. To substantiate our claims, we conducted a comprehensive corrosion performance analysis of AZ91D magnesium alloy, with and without hard anodizing treatment. We employed advanced techniques, including potential dynamic

Magnesium and its alloys are promising engineering materials with broad potential applications in the automotive, aerospace, and biomedical fields. These materials are prized for their lightweight properties, impressive specific strength, and biocompatibility. However, their practical use is often hindered by their low wear and corrosion resistance. Despite their excellent mechanical properties, the high strength-to-weight ratio of magnesium alloys necessitates surface protection for many applications. In this particular study, we employed the plasma spraying technique to enhance the low corrosion resistance of the AZ91D magnesium alloy. We conducted a wear analysis on nine coated samples, each with a thickness of 6mm, to assess their tribological performance. To evaluate the surface morphology and microstructure of the dual-phase treated samples, we employed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The bare AZ91D magnesium alloy exhibited a microhardness value

This research explores friction stir welding (FSW) to examine the mechanical characteristics and microstructure of thick plates manufactured from the Mg-8Al-0.5Zn alloy. Applying the FSW procedure to warm-form an Mg-8Al-0.5Zn alloy for the differential case covering the gears in the car’s automotive technology. Weld quality was significantly improved after using response surface methodology (RSM) to examine various welding parameters and find the best configurations. Improved grain refinement and phase distribution in the weld zone were found in the microstructural study of 11.5 mm thick magnesium alloy plates using RSM-optimized parameters. By dynamic recrystallization, the grain size was reduced to 16 μm, which is fifteen times smaller than the original material, thanks to the good results of single-pass FSW welding. Welding results showing high-quality characteristics such as tensile strength (161.8 MPa), elongation (27.83%), and joint efficiency (98.96%) were achieved using the

One of the most common types of lightweight materials used in aerospace is magnesium alloy. It has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is ideal for various applications. Due to its corrosion resistance, it is commonly used to manufacture of fuselages. Unfortunately, the conventional methods of metal cutting fail to improve the performance of magnesium alloy. One amongst the most common methods used for making intricate shapes in harder materials is through Wire-Electro-Discharge (WEDM). In this study, we have used magnesium alloy as the work material. The independent factors were selected as pulse duration and peak current. The output parameters of the process are the Surface Roughness (SR) and the Material Removal Rate (MRR). Through a single aspect optimization technique, Taguchi was able to identify the optimal combination that would improve the effectiveness of the WEDM process.

Magnesium alloy nanocomposite prepared with hard ceramic particles via conventional technique is a promising future material for automotive applications due to its unique characteristics like low density, high strength, castability, and good wear resistance. The present study is to enhance the tribo-mechanical properties of alumina nanoparticle (10wt %) reinforced magnesium alloy (Mg/Al) composite by incorporating 1wt%, 3wt%, and 5wt% zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles through stir casting method. The tensile strength, impact toughness, hardness, and wear rate of developed composites were compared with (10wt %) alumina nanoparticles reinforced magnesium alloy composite. The nanocomposite containing 3wt% ZrO2 shows maximum impact strength of 22.8 J/mm2. The maximum tensile strength (88.9MPa), hardness (124.5BHN), and wear resistance (9.802mm3/m at 20N) are obtained for 5wt% ZrO2 magnesium alloy nanocomposite
