Welding is the most convenient fabrication process with tremendous development in past few decades. The noteworthy technique is Activated flux TIG welding method (also known as A-TIG welding) that was well-equipped a little while back, which enhances productivity and quality of weld joints by better depth of penetration. In this research work, the electrochemical studies are performed to investigate the corrosion resistance of excellent depth of penetration A-TIG welded 316L stainless steel (SS316L) sample at room temperature. At dilute aqueous ambience, Potentiodynamic studies reveal that the SS316L welding joints have an apathetic attitude with certain range. Electrochemical Impedance calculations illustrate the breakdown occurs due to corrosion in alkaline circumstances.

This investigation, vibration analysis of cutting tool in turning of 42CrMo4 alloy steel using CNMG120408SMRH13A insert. Tool vibration is the important phenomenon which affects the life of the cutting tool, machining quality and behaviour of the metal cutting process. In metal cutting, tool vibration is the significant factor affecting the surface quality of machined surfaces. In this experimental work, control this vibration should be arrested by external force. In the proposed system damper method has used to control the tool vibration. It will be predicted by comparing the parameters of cutting speed, feed, depth of cut, material removal rate and surface roughness of turning operation. The generated vibration is measured. The machining performance has derived by the analytical method and experimentally.

The inductive thermal method of welding has been used for heating metals most commonly by all the industries. This method of heating is actually a very efficient means of treating high speed fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites over past years for enormous applications. The present research work clarifies the thermoplastic welding process. The primary goal is to explain the nature of the inductive welding process and to identify a broad variety of research efforts. The focus is on the method of heat generation dynamics during the inductive heating process and the parameters governing the welding process (frequency, power, stress, time of residence). The experimental methodology is often outlined with focusing on experimental set-up.

One of the promising methods for the manufacture of complex shapes is the Sheet Metal Forming process. The Brake hose bracket is made using this process using several procedures for its manufacture. In this work, the processes carried out for the manufacturing of Brake hose bracket has been studied using Finite Element Analysis carried out using commercial analysis software, ANSYS. The making of the Die and Punch for the manufacture of the Sheet metal forming process of brake hose bracket. The bracket is made of mild steel material and the results were obtained and were in good agreement with that of the experimental values. The Stress distribution, Strain distribution and deformation experienced by the component and the die cavity during manufacturing process has been investigated and the conclusion were made. The FEM method proves to be efficient in understanding the stress and strain distribution in the component.

The present study investigates the effect of Ce addition on the microstructure of Mg-6Al-1Zn alloy with the use of optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical corrosion behaviour of Mg-6Al-1Zn alloyed with different levels of cerium was investigated using static weight loss and polarization corrosion tests in 3.5% NaCl solution. The microstructural study reveals the grain refinement of the matrix and the stability of the phase β(Mg17Al12) were disintegrated into Al4Ce and distributed along the grain boundary. The literatures show that the intermetallic Al4Ce has a high melting point and expected to show better strength behaviour at relatively high temperatures. The electrochemical results show that cerium addition above 1.5wt.% increase the corrosion current density of the developed alloy which resulted in increasing corrosion rate. The best results of refined microstructure and corrosion resistance were obtained with 1.5wt.% cerium addition.

The reinforced Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) was broadly used in various engineering applications. The light weight and high strength metal matrix components were used in aerospace and automotive applications. The silicon carbide, boron carbide, aluminum oxide and carbon fiber were used as common reinforcement materials. The magnesium and its alloys were recently has a maximum role in MMC due to its high strength and light weight. In addition to the magnesium, the aluminium and copper was included through the reinforcement of boron carbide (B4C). It was formulated through squeeze casting technique. The copper has good electrical conductivity and it has more corrosion resistance. The magnesium metal matrix was fabricated through squeeze casting technique. The Vickers hardness was determined through the different input squeeze casting factors such as pressure, pouring temperature and die temperature. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) optimization was used to analyze the parametric effects.

In this investigation, the effects of cryogenic soaking time on cutting insert were investigated. Cryogenic treatments were carried out at -196°C for various soaking times of 12, 24, and 48hours followed by tempering at 200°C for 2hours. The Scan Electron Microscope image and X-Ray Diffraction pattern analysis validate the structure of η-carbide on the surfaces of the inserts. The hardness result revealed that the deep cryogenic treatment improved the surface rigidity of the inserts. The speed, feed rate and depth of cut are preferred as input parameters of the experiment. The out response of the tool wear is measured the flank wear of the inserts. As a result, increase in soaking time of deep cryogenic treatment imports superior tool wear resistance of the inserts.

The applications of non ferrous alloys have been significantly increased due to its desirable substance properties. The material strength and hardness were depend on the nature of reinforcements were added to it. In this chapter was utilized to formulate the Copper Titanium (Cu-Ti) Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) has been reinforced with Tungsten Carbide (WC). The stir casting of material fabrication technique was considered. The tungsten carbide was the suitable reinforcement for Cu-Ti composite because of thermodynamic stable system of compound was attained. The mechanical, corrosion and wear behaviors have been discussed. The wear parameters have been optimized through Taguchi and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The influential factor on wear rate was found and compared with the variance test.
