Extraction of kaolin and tribo informative analysis of the Al-kaolin composite through machine learning approaches.

Microwave fabrication of aluminium composites has emerged as a novel and trending technique in the current industrial landscape due to its efficiency and energy-saving potential. In this study, Al-kaolin composites were fabricated using microwave energy techniques, focusing on predictive modelling of the microwave-assisted Al-kaolin composite's wear rate and coefficient of friction (COF). The fabricated composites were evaluated for hardness, wear rate, and coefficient of friction (COF) under varying parameters.

Alumina-enriched sunflower bio-oil in machining of Hastelloy C-276: a fuzzy Mamdani model-aided sustainable manufacturing paradigm.

With the increasing emphasis on sustainable manufacturing practices, eco-friendly lubricants have gained significant attention to moderate the friction coefficient at the tool-work interface. In line with this, the contemporary study aimed to examine the viability of Alumina-enriched sunflower bio-oil as a metalworking fluid. Different volume fractions of Alumina nanoparticles (varying from 0 to 1 vol%) were mixed with sunflower bio-oil, and the physical properties, for instance, contact angle and dynamic viscosity, were analyzed to determine the optimal concentration of Alumina.

Effect of TiO Nanofillers on the Mechanical and Abrasive Wear Properties of Epoxy Reinforced with Carbon Fabric Hybrid Composites.

Recent studies show that nanofillers greatly contribute to the increase in the mechanical and abrasive behaviors of the polymer composite. In the current study, epoxy composites were made by hand lay-up with the reinforcement of carbon fabric and titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles as secondary reinforcement in weight percentages of 0.5, 1.

High-strength gypsum binder with improved water-resistance coefficient derived from industrial wastes.

The article presents the possibility of increasing the water resistance of gypsum binders (GBs) obtained based on synthetic gypsum by introducing additives derived from industrial wastes. Regularities were obtained for the influence of the type and amount of additives on the water/gypsum ratio (W/G), strength indicators and water resistance of high-strength GB. The introduction of a single-component additive to improve water resistance does not have a significant effect.
