The implementation of hard-facing alloy on the existing materials caters the need for high-performance surfaces in terms of wear and high temperatures. The present research explore the effect of Plasma Transferred Arc Welding (PTAW) parameters and powder composition on dilution, microstructure and hardness of the commonly used hard-facing alloy Ni-Cr-Si-B powder. The hard-facing alloy was deposited with three weight proportions of boron (2.

The investigation focuses on determining the effects of canola oil-based cutting fluid with three different volume percentages of boric acid additives over the machining forces and surface roughness while turning hardened AISI 1018 mild steel. Experiments were carried out under Taguchi's design of the experiment concept. The minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technique was followed to minimize the cutting fluid consumption.

The development of aluminium composite with the inclusion of advanced materials is a continuous research process due to the increasing industrial demand for advanced hybrid materials. To cater for this need, this research work focuses on the development of Al 7075 alloy reinforced with TiB and graphene and on the evaluation of its strengthening mechanism. Two different modes of improving the strength of the hybrid composite have been followed; one is by the inclusion of graphene at three levels of 0.
