Analysed parameters are including, but not limited to: material flow, die filling, press loads, final product geometry, die service life investigation and product properties after forming.
Fig. 1: Double Cup Extrusion Test (DCET) Ghobrial et al. [10] investigated the effect of reduction in area (D2punch/D2container) to the cup height ratio for high and low friction factors.
Schrader et al. [9] studied the geometrical and process parameters affecting the cup height ratio and made proposals to design the test parameters for friction sensitivity.
Other thermo-physical properties, namely Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity are calculated as a function of temperature by using a material properties calculation software, JMatPro.

Influence of calcined coal gangue addition on the setting time, mechanical property, mineral phase, and microstructure of MPC had been studied.
Introduction Magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) could be used as rapid repairing materials for pavements, airport runways and bridge decks due to its special properties such as fast setting, high early strength, high volume stability and high bond strength [1,2].
However, there are some factors limit its application, one of these is the higher cost compared to other inorganic repair materials, the addition of mineral admixture, such as coal fly ash, could not only reduce the cost but also improve the performance of MPC [3,4].

The goal is to achieve superior mechanical properties by producing a fine and uniform acicular ferrite microstructure, rather than having a conventional ferrite/pearlite type microstructure.
Once the toughness level is reached, the critical defect size is controlled by the material strength properties and is no longer affected by toughness [10].
Amano et al. [12] have studied the metallurgical welding factors and co-related to local brittle zone formation.

The result of porosity-density indicates that porosity of composites will affect the mechanical properties.
Generally, composite have outstanding features compared to its original material in terms of mechanical properties, chemical properties, physical properties, production, cost, life cycle time, materials handling and appearance [2].
Result and Discussion Mechanical Properties.
Mechanical properties of 2 wt% epoxy/graphene composite.
Some of the factors should be consider which are; the temperature to expand the graphite material, the sonication time and also the type and ratio of modification material used.

On increase in mechanical properties and resistance to deformation they settle down in the following sequence: Ti3AlC2/TiC-Ti4AlN3/TiN-Ti3SiC2/TiC.
In these ternary MAX-compounds the best properties of metals and ceramics are combined.
On background of these features of nanolaminates two factors are affecting mainly the behavior at mechanical loading: presence of porosity and presence of the second phase particles.
In other words, mechanical properties and resistance of these materials to mechanical force are reduced.
If the presence of second phase is lower than 20 % (vol.) the primal factor determining the high-temperature mechanical properties is porosity: its increase results in decrease in strength and increase in plasticity.

The reliability of adhesive in the connection during the life time of a structure is affected by many factors, [1], [2], [3], [4].
Five types of adhesives with different mechanical properties were chosen into research, and they were applied in glass-to-metal (steel, stainless steel, aluminum) and glass-to-glass connections.
Secondly, one complex model of the adhesive was created with assumption that, close to adhesive-substrate interface there is a contact zone with tougher mechanical properties than in the rest of adhesive.
Numerical models responding different mechanical properties of adhesives and changes in glue thickness were developed.
