    (Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering and Sciences Publication, 2019-10-10) Jeyasimman, D; Senthilkumar V; Narayanasamy, R
    In this investigation, the effect of multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on compressive response with Al 6061 alloy nanocomposites prepared by mechanical alloying has been investigated. Hot deformation tests required to develop processing map were conducted at three temperatures such as 250, 350 and 450°C and in the three strain rates of 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 s-1. The development of geometric dynamic recrystallization (DRX), dynamic recovery (DRV), instability regions and shear bands were confirmed by characterization study of prepared nanocomposites after hot Compression tests. The average activation energies for hot compression response was calculated as 153.00 KJ/mole for 2 wt.% MWCNTs reinforced Al 6061 alloy (AA 6061) nanocomposites. The most favorable key processing parameters for hot deformation was identified as temperature between 370-450°C and the range of strain rate was 0.1-0.01s-1. The region which are prone to shear localization, cracks and other instability were identified using the processing map and the same was verified with microstructural images obtained using optical and SEM images. © BEIESP.

    Investigation on dry sliding wear behavior of Mg/BN nanocomposites
    (National Engg. Reaserch Center for Magnesium Alloys, 2018-05-30) Kaviti, R. Vara Prasad.; Jeyasimman, D; Parande, Gururaj; Gupta, Manoj; Narayanasamy, R
    The present research objective is to investigate the effect of boron nitride nanoparticles reinforcement on dry sliding wear behavior of pure Magnesium and magnesium nanocomposites. The fabricated nanocomposites contains varied percentages of boron nitride such as 0% (pure Mg), 0.5%, 1.5% and 2.5% were synthesized by using powder metallurgy technique and followed by a hot working process called hot extrusion. The pin on disk equipment was used for conducting the wear tests for traditional loads of 5 N, 7 N and 10 N at different sliding speeds of 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2 m/s against the steel disk at room temperature. For all traditional loads and sliding speeds, the changes in wear rate and friction co-efficient (µ) with respect to sliding distances were observed and analyzed. The wear characteristics are observed with the help of scanning electron microscopy under given test conditions. To investigate dominant wear mechanisms for various test conditions, the morphologies of all worn composites surfaces were analyzed. Final results show that, for all nanocomposites the wear level raises with respect to the sliding speeds and loads. Magnesium reinforced with 0.5% boron nitride shows lower wear rates and low friction coefficient values compare with magnesium reinforced with 1.5% boron nitride and 2.5% boron nitride nanocomposites
