Abstract This study investigates the abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) performance of an Al6061–0.5 wt.% B\(_4\)C–1 wt.% ZrO\(_2\) hybrid composite fabricated using ultrasonic-assisted stir casting. A Taguchi L27 orthogonal array was adopted to systematically evaluate the effects of five machining parameters, namely abrasive flow rate (AFR), water jet pressure (WJP), abrasive jet cutting speed (AJCS), stand-off distance (SOD), and abrasive grit size (GS) each at three levels.

Abstract The increasing requirement for lightweight and high-performance materials in the automotive industry has prompted significant research efforts focused on hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer composites. This study looked at making and carefully testing epoxy-based composites that were strengthened with Kevlar, basalt, and S-glass fibers, using 10% carbon powder as an added material.

Introduction Graphene, as the main building block of graphitic composites, consists of a single atomic layer of sp2-hybridized carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal platform. The delocalized pi-bonding network resulting from this hybridization is responsible for its unique electronic properties and contributes to its exceptional thermal, mechanical, and optical performance, making it a focal point of extensive research.
