Abstract: This research aims to investigate the effect on tensile strength of the recycled chip AA6061 aluminium alloy metal by using powder metallurgy method. Material used is recycled aluminium Chip AA6061 and Al powder. The recycled AA6061 chips mixed together with various compositions of Al powder content were fabricated to form a specimen by hot compaction technique. The compaction using hot pressed at 30 tons with holding time of 60 minutes. The final product was analyzed by tensile test shown the specimen A5 have higher ultimate tensile strength (UTS) 156.404 MPa and yield strength (YS) at 107.399 MPa. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was conducted to observe the microstructure of fracture surface existing on the tensile specimens.

Abstract: This research constructed a hot press control system according to the hot-press technical process of wood-based panel, and applied the fuzzy control and traditional PID control to this system. Experiment and simulation results showed that the control effect of the new method is optimal.

Abstract: The diffusion bonding of Ti to Ti, Ti-Cu alloy at different temperatures ranging from 673 K to 923 K under an applied stress of 100 MPa for 1 h was studied. The observation of the microstructure reveals that sound joints between the Ti-Ti and dissimilar titanium/Copper metals sheet were successfully joined by diffusion bonding process. Ti-Cu alloy without any pores or cracks can be achieved through diffusion bonding at temperatures over 873 K under the applied stress of 100 MPa for 1 h. The bond is composed of the zones, and its width increases with the increase of bonding temperature. The Micro hardness at the interface of joints bonded under different conditions was evaluated through Micro hardness testing and the fracture mode was analyzed by SEM observation.

Abstract: A GF/PP commingled yarns knitted fabric was processed into laminates composites by hot press and a processing parameters investigation had been carried out to determine the most suitable values of processing pressure, holding time and cooling condition. The consolidation quality was characterized by means of void content and tensile strengths. It was found that the void content decreases while the tensile strength increases with the increasing of holding time, and under the gradually cooling rate with pressure in hot press. Optimal processing conditions for manufacturing of commingled GF/PP biaxial knitted fabric composites were suggested.

Abstract: Alumina (Al₂O₃)-zirconia (ZrO₂)-hydroxyapatite (HA) composite is used as biomaterials. Biomaterials must be bio-compatible to the body and should have excellent mechanical and tribological properties. 1 wt.% of rare earth oxide (Dy₂O₃) was added to the basic composition of composite Al₂O₃ -ZrO₂ (15wt.%)-HA(1wt.%). The powder mixture was hot-pressed at 1300°C in Ar gas environment under 30 MPa pressure for densification sintering. The microstructural analysis, phase transformation, surface morphology and mechanical properties like hardness, fracture toughness, mechanical strength of the composite were observed and evaluated by SEM , XRD, Vickers hardness, etc. The results demonstrated that the addition of 1 wt.% dysprosia has increased the mechanical properties of composite.

Abstract: In this paper, we have studied the hot forming process of composites made by polylactic acid (PLA) and corn straw fiber. In order to obtain the composite cushioning material with ideal density and expansion ratio, the parameters of processing was optimized. It showed that the optimum condition as follows: the hot-press time was 5min, the pressure was 15MPa and the temperature was 200°C. The structure of the composite was characterized by FTIR.

Abstract: Elemental mixture of Ti, Al and C was high energy milled in a planetary ball mill under high-purity nitrogen gas protection and then hot pressed. The fully dense bulk layered ternary Ti2AlN0.5C0.5 with sub-micron grain size was successfully obtained. The phase formation and transformation in high energy milling and subsequently hot press sintering were studied in detail by using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) linked with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was used for the structural and compositional analysis. The formation mechanism was also discussed.

Abstract: TiAl/Ti2AlC in situ composite was successfully fabricated by hot-press-assisted reaction process from the mixture of Ti, Al and carbon black. The phase formation and transformation were investigated in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the morphology characteristics were also studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that when the mixed powders were hot pressed at 1300 °C for 1 h, full dense and highly pure TiAl/Ti2AlC composite was synthesized. The TiAl was the matrix phase and the in situ synthesized Ti2AlC was reinforcing phase. The reaction process was also discussed.
