A Comprehensive Review of the Development of Magnesium Composites and the Effect of Nanomaterials on Tribo-Mechanical Performance in Automotive Applications

By Tushar Sharma and Amit Tiwari

Abstract: Abstract Magnesium and its alloys have emerged as promising lightweight materials for the automotive industry owing to their extremely low density, high specific strength, and potential to significantly improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Despite these advantages, the widespread structural and functional application of magnesium alloys remains limited due to inherent challenges such as insufficient…

Adaptive Production Scheduling in Multi-Machine Manufacturing Environments

Abstract: For manufacturing processes to meet evolving market demands, they must be executed in the most efficient manner while maintaining flexibility against unanticipated disruptions. Often, traditional scheduling methods overlook dynamic variability and real-time interruptions. An inverse scheduling framework for a multi-machine flowshop system is proposed in this research with the primary objective of makespan minimisation. Several…

An Overview on Metal Processing using Machine Learning

By Heena T. Shaikh and IR. Dr. Kazi Kutubuddin Sayyad Liyakat

Abstract: Metalworking, which is an important part of modern industry, includes a wide range of steps, such as shaping and casting the metal, machining it, and riveting it. The industry has always relied on trial and error and other empirical methods, but machine learning (ML) is now causing a big change. It is expected that this…

Characterization of AL-2014 TIG Welded Joints

By Manujesh B J

Abstract: Abstract – This experimental study presents a comprehensive investigation into the tensile strength of TIG-welded butt joints made from Al-2014 alloy, a material that find applications in aerospace and structural engineering due to its excellent machinability and high strength to weight ratio. Welding Al-2014 alloy is challenging because it is more prone to hot cracking,…
