Optimization of parameters in SiC production via Acheson Process – a hot model study
Silicon carbide (SiC) is produced industrially in a heat resistance furnace using quartz (silica) and raw petroleum coke (RPC) as the raw material. In this process, commonly known as the Acheson Process, a large current ...
Development of wrought Mg-Li based alloys with improved strength and ductility
A comprehensive investigation has been undertaken to develop cold rolled Mg-Li based alloys with tensile properties superior to the existing commercial or experimental Mg-Li based alloys. In this endeavor, melting and ...
Structure property correlation studies on Ca-modified Ba(Ti, Zr/Sn)O3 piezoceramics
In this thesis we have investigated the structure, property correlation of the lead-free piezoelectric ceramic of (Ba,Ca) (Ti,Zr/Sn)O3 system. A self-consistent set of experimental techniques such as X-ray powder diffraction, ...
Structure-Property Correlation in Binary Immiscible Polymer Blends Compatibilized by Mutually Miscible Homopolymer and Carbonaceous Nanoparticles
The thesis systematically studies the various morphology, mechanical properties, crystallization kinetics and compatibilization effects of homopolymers, carbonaceous nanoparticles such as multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), ...
Effect of processing on texture and microstructure in Aluminium-Lithium alloys and its consequences on mechanical properties
Lightweight Aluminium -Lithium based alloys have high potential for use in aerospace structural components. However, large anisotropy in mechanical properties restricts the use of these alloys. The alloy AA2195 (Al-Li-Cu-Mg-Ag-Zr) ...
