Fabrication, Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior of Aluminum Alloy (LM-13) Reinforced with Nano-ZrO2 Particulate Chilled Nano-Metal Matrix Composites (CNMMCs)
Abstract: In the present research, aluminum alloy (LM13) Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) is prepared by stir casting technique and is reinforced with ZrO2 particulates in the weight percent ranging from 3 wt.% to 12 wt.% in the steps of 3 wt.%. The reinforcement i.e., ZrO2 particle size added varies between 100–200 nm. The resulting CNMMCs are solidified under the influence of copper chill of 25 mm thickness to study the effect …

Tribological Behavior of Chilled Aluminum Alloy (LM-13) Reinforced with Titanium Carbide (TiC) Metal Matrix Composites for Automobile Applications.
Abstract: In the present research, aluminum alloy (LM13) Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) is prepared by stir casting technique and is reinforced with titanium carbide (TiC) particulates in the weight percent ranging from 3 wt.% to 15 wt.% in the steps of 3 wt.%. The dispersoid i.e. TiC particle size added varies between 100–200 µm. The resulting MMCs were solidified under the influence of copper chill of 25 mm thickness to study …

Photosynthesis at high altitude: A case study in Trans Himalayan region
Abstract: Photosynthesis is the basis of life on earth that converts light energy into chemical energy and is the primary component of crop yield. Significant increase in crop yield by enhancing photosynthesis can answer to global food security. With the increase in population size and limited land availability, efforts have been made to grow crops in tough terrains like high altitude areas. As one ascends a mountain, environmental conditions such as …
