Effect of Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-5.5 Zn Alloy
A. U. Anooja, P. A. Abdulsamad, P. R. Shalij
Magnesium and its alloys stand out as potential candidates for degradable implants in biomedical applications due to their high specific strength and appropriate mechanical properties. As an implant material Mg is biocompatible and biodegradable in human body fluid, thus eliminating the need for a second...

Comparative Study on Mechanical and Metallurgical Characteristics of Friction Welded Joints from Al 6061 and Mg AZ31B by Varying Interface Geometries
Vineeth Narayanan, Baiju Sasidharan, Mathew John, P. M. Makesh
Rotary friction welding (RFW) is a solid-state joining process that employs frictional heat generated at the interface of a rotating and a stationary specimen under axial compression. In this work, dissimilar joint of Al 6061 with flat interface and Mg AZ31B with varying taper angles (300, 450, 600)...

Characterization of high entropy alloy reinforced AA7068 Composite developed through stir casting
Drisya Santhosh, M. D. Bindu
In this study, Aluminium alloy 7068 was reinforced with 2 wt.% AlCoCrFeNi high entropy alloy (HEA) powder using the stir casting technique. The HEA powder was synthesized via mechanical alloying, and after 15 h of ball milling, a combined FCC-BCC solid solution phase was obtained. Scanning electron microscopy...

Lubricant base stock development from HDPE plastic pyrolysis oil and modified palm oil
T. Maneesh, S. Rani, Baiju Sasidharan
Plastic usage is increasing exponentially world- wide, yet only about 50% of plastic waste is recycled. The remainder accumulates in landfills or is improperly disposed in nature. This persistent waste takes years to degrade, polluting land, waterbodies, disrupting biodiversity. Burning plastic in open...
