Composites with nano reinforcements had outclassed their counterparts in terms of the properties shown by the nano composites.
In the present work aluminium matrix has been reinforced with boron carbide and nano graphite which is added as a solid lubricant to improve tribological properties.
From this interaction plot for the overcut, there are two factors affecting the overcut, one being the voltage and other being the electrolyte concentration.
The remaining factors, current and feed rate have negligible effect on the overcut.

The dielectric strength of cable insulation depends on many factors such as the existence of filler material in the insulation.
The influence of Silicon dioxide (SiO2) filler on the dielectric and mechanical properties of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cable were analyzed.
From the results, it is shown that the filler material has improved the dielectric and mechanical properties of the cable insulation.
Introduction The Electrical properties are affected by the amount of filler added to the composite.
Conclusions The test results show that the addition of silicon dioxide has an impact on the dielectric and mechanical properties.

Cellulose microfibrils were extracted from kenaf fiber by alkali treatments under various conditions to further characterize their properties and verify the factors which induce fiber degradation.
To further characterize the properties of natural fibers and verify the factors which lead to fiber degradation, alkali treatments between 6 and 9% NaOH under various conditions were applied to kenaf bast fibers.
Conclusion We have successfully verified that except at high concentration of alkali (> 6% NaOH), the alkalization method adopted is a very important factor in affecting the quality of fiber.

The technique proposed could be served as a reliable tool for cobalt-free maraging steel mechanical properties control and design.
In this paper, the authors propose a fuzzy identification for cobalt-free maraging steel mechanical properties modeling.
The influencing factors include chemical composition and heat treatment processing parameters.
The reason is that ductility-related parameters are more easily affected by experimental factors, such as tensile speed, specimen condition and dimension.
The influence of solution temperature on the mechanical properties of the steel is predicted and plotted in Fig.2.

One of the driving factors for the usage of filler in FR additives, such as the application of calcium carbonate in the modification of polypropylene (PP), was cost reduction.
In addition, fly ash successfully enhanced the mechanical properties [24].
The addition of 25 wt% fly ash shows similar mechanical properties to that of 10 wt% glass fibre.
Even a small amount of nanofillers, such as clay, can improve mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of plastics without affecting its processability.
The global market consumption revealed that trends now are shifting towards eco-friendly FR due to the regulation imposed by authority, environment, safety and health factors.

These phases are known to degrade the mechanical and corrosion properties of the weld metal [4].
However, the formation of these phases is influenced by a number of factors such as weld metal composition, ferrite content and its morphology, in addition to temperature and time of transformation [4].
The mechanical properties of δ-ferrite containing weld metals are generally controlled by the kinetics of δ-ferrite dissolution, as well as the nature of transformation products [7].
Therefore, transformation kinetics and its subsequent effects on mechanical properties has been the subject of many studies [5-8].
