Assessment of Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Stir Zone Seam of Friction Stir Welded Magnesium AZ31B through Nano-SiC.

In the present study, silicon carbide nanoparticles were incorporated into AZ31B magnesium alloy welded joints using the friction stir welding technique at five different stir zone volume fractions. The volume percentage of nano-SiC was varied from 0⁻20% in increments of 4%. Initially, the microstructure analyses of the V4, V8, and V12 welded joints were observed to be in good accordance with a homogeneous dispersion of nano SiC particles within the stir zone (SZ).

Assessments of Secondary Reinforcement of Epoxy Matrix-Glass Fibre Composite Laminates through Nanosilica (SiO₂).

The principal objective of this research work was to investigate the results of impregnating epoxy matrix-glass fibre composite laminates with nanosilica as secondary reinforcement. 0.5, 0.
