| Abstract Scope |
The concept of developing intelligent materials that has the innate capability of healing its damage has drawn increased interest due to its potential for selection and use in both the automobile sector and the aerospace sector. In this presentation, a shape memory alloy [Ni50Ti50 (NiTi)]-reinforced aluminum matrix nanocomposites were fabricated using the technique of powder metallurgy followed by hybrid microwave sintering. The influence of the addition of nanosized NiTi alloy particles on microstructural, thermal and mechanical properties of aluminum were examined. With the addition of NiTi alloy, a noticeable improvement in hardness, ultimate compression/tensile strength and yield strength were observed, with a concurrent decrease in the values of failure strain and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). The observed increase in properties of the engineered nanocomposite as a consequence of contributions from intrinsic microstructural effects will be presented and discussed. |
