Metal matrix composites are formed by combination of two or more materials (at least one of the materials is metal) having dissimilar characteristics. In this present investigation, aluminium (Al 6061) as base matrix metal and tungsten carbide (WC) particulate, fly ash as reinforcements. Fabrication of MMCs was done by stir-casting process. The Tungsten Carbide particulate was added in proportions of 1%, 2%, and 3% and Fly ash was added in proportions of 2%, 4%, and 6% on mass fraction basis to the molten metal. The different combination sets of composites were prepared. Mechanical properties like tensile strength and hardness were studied for both reinforced and unreinforced Al 6061 samples. Microstructure examination was carried by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to obtain the distribution of tungsten carbide particulate and fly ash in base matrix. From the results, it was found that the tensile strength and the hardness of the prepared metal matrix composites increased with increase in tungsten carbide and fly ash content. The Scanning Electron Micrographs of the samples indicated uniform distribution of tungsten carbide and fly ash particles in the base matrix without voids before testing and with voids after testing.

Experimental Study of Wear Rate Coefficient of Aluminium Hybrid Composites Ma...AM Publications
In current decade, demand in material characteristics like light weight, superior strength to weight ratio, improved surface properties and enhanced wear resistance for complex engineering applications like automobile, aerospace and nuclear are researcher’s interest. However, performance of hybrid composites depends on right combination of reinforcements. Silicon carbide, silicon nitride, boron nitride and titanium carbide are few reinforcements available at present. In this work, Al356 is reinforced with SiC and B4C to enhance the mechanical properties, surface hardness and wear resistance. This hybrid composite is prepared by stir casting technique and the morphology of composite is studied using optical microscope to investigate the dispersion of reinforcements. In the present study, the wear and friction characteristics of hybrid composites are investigated using pin on disc dry wear tests by varying the load and speed and the results are tabulated for load vs mass loss, load vs wear rate and load vs wear coefficient. The results report that wear rate of hybrid composites are lower than that of binary composites. Mechanical properties, surface hardness and wear characteristics of aluminium hybrid composites are compared with that of aluminium binary composites available at present.
Corrosion Characterization of Aluminium 6061/ Tib2 Metal Matrix Composites in...ijtsrd
This paper deals with the high corrosion resistance developed by the metal matrix composites when compared with that of matrix alloy. Matrix selected is Al6061 and reinforcement selected is TiB2 particulates, which is a ceramic material. The liquid melt metallurgy technique is used to prepare composites. Preheated but uncoated TiB2 particulates are added to the melt. By adding degasifying tablets, the melt is stirred well. Metal matrix composites containing 2, 4 and 6 weight percentage of TiB2 are prepared. Bar castings were taken and are cut into cylindrical discs of 20mm diameter and 20mm thickness. Corrosion tests were conducted at room temperature [230 C] using conventional weight loss method according to ASTM G69-80. Different concentrated sodium hydroxide solutions are used as corrodents. Weighed specimens dipped in corrodent solutions and were taken out at every 24 hours of interval up to 96 hours. Four specimens for each condition and time were used and taken out at every 24 hours of interval. Corrosion rates were calculated using the formula 534DAT/W. In all concentrations of sodium hydroxide solutions, corrosion rate decreases with increase in exposure time for matrix and metal matrix composites. As TiB2 content increases the composites become more corrosion resistant due to insulating nature of ceramic material and less exposure of matrix alloy in those metal matrix composites. V.

Experimental Study of Wear Rate Coefficient of Aluminium Hybrid Composites Ma...AM Publications
In current decade, demand in material characteristics like light weight, superior strength to weight ratio, improved surface properties and enhanced wear resistance for complex engineering applications like automobile, aerospace and nuclear are researcher’s interest. However, performance of hybrid composites depends on right combination of reinforcements. Silicon carbide, silicon nitride, boron nitride and titanium carbide are few reinforcements available at present. In this work, Al356 is reinforced with SiC and B4C to enhance the mechanical properties, surface hardness and wear resistance. This hybrid composite is prepared by stir casting technique and the morphology of composite is studied using optical microscope to investigate the dispersion of reinforcements. In the present study, the wear and friction characteristics of hybrid composites are investigated using pin on disc dry wear tests by varying the load and speed and the results are tabulated for load vs mass loss, load vs wear rate and load vs wear coefficient. The results report that wear rate of hybrid composites are lower than that of binary composites. Mechanical properties, surface hardness and wear characteristics of aluminium hybrid composites are compared with that of aluminium binary composites available at present.
Corrosion Characterization of Aluminium 6061/ Tib2 Metal Matrix Composites in...ijtsrd
This paper deals with the high corrosion resistance developed by the metal matrix composites when compared with that of matrix alloy. Matrix selected is Al6061 and reinforcement selected is TiB2 particulates, which is a ceramic material. The liquid melt metallurgy technique is used to prepare composites. Preheated but uncoated TiB2 particulates are added to the melt. By adding degasifying tablets, the melt is stirred well. Metal matrix composites containing 2, 4 and 6 weight percentage of TiB2 are prepared. Bar castings were taken and are cut into cylindrical discs of 20mm diameter and 20mm thickness. Corrosion tests were conducted at room temperature [230 C] using conventional weight loss method according to ASTM G69-80. Different concentrated sodium hydroxide solutions are used as corrodents. Weighed specimens dipped in corrodent solutions and were taken out at every 24 hours of interval up to 96 hours. Four specimens for each condition and time were used and taken out at every 24 hours of interval. Corrosion rates were calculated using the formula 534DAT/W. In all concentrations of sodium hydroxide solutions, corrosion rate decreases with increase in exposure time for matrix and metal matrix composites. As TiB2 content increases the composites become more corrosion resistant due to insulating nature of ceramic material and less exposure of matrix alloy in those metal matrix composites. V.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

Characterization of Al/WC/Fly ash Metal Matrix Composites
Assistant Professor, Kelappaji College of
Engineering
ABSTRACT
Metal matrix composites are formed by combination
of two or more materials (at least one of the materials
is metal) having dissimilar characteristics. In this
present investigation, aluminium (Al 6061) as base
matrix metal and tungsten carbide (WC) particulate,
fly ash as reinforcements. Fabrication of MMCs was
done by stir-casting process. The Tungsten Carbide
particulate was added in proportions of 1%, 2%, and
3% and Fly ash was added in proportions of 2%, 4%,
and 6% on mass fraction basis to the molten metal.
The different combination sets of composites were
prepared. Mechanical properties like tensile strength
and hardness were studied for both reinforced and
unreinforced Al 6061 samples. Microstructure
examination was carried by using Scanning Electron
Microscope (SEM) to obtain the distribution of
tungsten carbide particulate and fly ash in base
matrix. From the results, it was found that the tensile
strength and the hardness of the prepared metal matrix
composites increased with increase in tungsten
carbide and fly ash content. The Scanning Electron

reference [2].
In references [4][5][6], fly ash is used as
reinforcement in aluminium composites. Fabrication
is done by stir-casting method. It was found that as
increase in fly ash content, resulted in increase in
tensile strength, hardness and decrease in density.
II. EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS
Aluminium alloy (Al6061) is taken as base matrix
metal, tungsten carbide (WC) particulate of 2-3µm
size and fly ash are taken as reinforcements. WC was
taken in 1%, 2%, and 3% on mass fraction and fly ash
was taken 2%, 4%, and 6% on mass fraction.
A. Composite Fabrication
Fabrication of composites is done by stir-casting
method. Al6061 alloy ingots are kept in crucible
and melt in electric resistance furnace at 850˚C.
The melt was degassed by adding solid dry
hexachloroethane (C2Cl6), called degasser. The
stirring setup is brought near the furnace, stirrer is
dipped inside crucible and stirred at 500rpm. The
calculated amount of the preheated reinforcement
particles of WC and fly ash were added slowly into
the melt. As the impeller rotates it generates a
vortex that draws the reinforcement particle into
the melt from the surface. The stirring action was
carried out about 10-15min. After by removing
stirrer setup, the mixed melt is poured to the
required preheated metallic mould of 22mm
diameter and 220mm length. The molten metal is
made to solidify and the prepared casting is
removed from the mould.
The casted composites were sectioned and made to
prepare tensile testing, hardness and dry wear
testing specimens asper ASTM standards.
B. Testing for Mechanical Properties
The specimens were prepared and tensile testing
was carried out as per ASTM E8 standard in
computerized UTM. Hardness testing by Brinell
Hardness tester was carried to the prepared
specimen as per ASTM E10 standard, where steel
ball indenter of dia. 10mm and applied load of
500kgf were used.

III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A. Tensile properties
TABLE I. shows the variation of tensile strength of
the composites with the different weight fractions of
tungsten carbide and fly ash particles. It can be noted
that the tensile strength increased with an increase in
the weight percentage of tungsten carbide and fly ash.
This is due to the reinforcement particles acts as
barrier to dislocation movement in microstructure.

C. Microstructure
As the microstructure plays an important role in the
overall performance of a composite and the physical
properties depend on the microstructure,
reinforcement particle size, shape and distribution in
the alloy, prepared samples were examined using a
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to study the
distribution pattern of tungsten carbide and fly ash in
the matrix. The micrographs of composites before and
after testing can be seen below.

III. CONCLUSION
Al6061 matrix composites were easily and
economically fabricated by stir-casting method with
tungsten carbide and fly ash particulates as
reinforcements. The mechanical properties are
enhanced.
From the tensile test results, it is found that the tensile
strength increased, as reinforcement content in weight
percentage increases, Increase in reinforcement
content in matrix, decreased in ductility of
composites.
From brinell hardness test results, increase in
reinforcement content in matrix, there is increase in
hardness of composites.
The enhancement effect of tungsten carbide
reinforcement is more compared to fly ash
reinforcement in tensile strength and hardness
properties.
From SEM micrograph studies, equal distribution of
reinforcement content (tungsten carbide and fly ash
particulates) in Al6061 matrix composites without any
voids formation. In tensile fractured surface, observed
that formation of voids observed. As reinforcement
content increases, the size of the voids are decreased,
indicating less ductility.

II. EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS
Aluminium alloy (Al6061) is taken as base matrix
metal, tungsten carbide (WC) particulate of 2-3µm
size and fly ash are taken as reinforcements. WC was
taken in 1%, 2%, and 3% on mass fraction and fly ash
was taken 2%, 4%, and 6% on mass fraction.
A. Composite Fabrication
Fabrication of composites is done by stir-casting
method. Al6061 alloy ingots are kept in crucible
and melt in electric resistance furnace at 850˚C.
The melt was degassed by adding solid dry
hexachloroethane (C2Cl6), called degasser. The
stirring setup is brought near the furnace, stirrer is
dipped inside crucible and stirred at 500rpm. The
calculated amount of the preheated reinforcement
particles of WC and fly ash were added slowly into
the melt. As the impeller rotates it generates a
vortex that draws the reinforcement particle into
the melt from the surface. The stirring action was
carried out about 10-15min. After by removing
stirrer setup, the mixed melt is poured to the
required preheated metallic mould of 22mm
diameter and 220mm length. The molten metal is
made to solidify and the prepared casting is
removed from the mould.
The casted composites were sectioned and made to
prepare tensile testing, hardness and dry wear
testing specimens asper ASTM standards.
B. Testing for Mechanical Properties
The specimens were prepared and tensile testing
was carried out as per ASTM E8 standard in
computerized UTM. Hardness testing by Brinell
Hardness tester was carried to the prepared
specimen as per ASTM E10 standard, where steel
ball indenter of dia. 10mm and applied load of
500kgf were used.
