The emergence of metal matrix composites is partly a consequence of an improved understanding of their potentials and limitations based on their science of process, principles of physical metallurgy and interfacial chemistry. They can be produced by conventional casting techniques. The reinforcing material such as particulates of graphite can be added into the melt of any metal during its stirring. The resultant mixture is then cast into a permanent mould. This technique was used to produce aluminum graphite composite containing different percentage concentrations of graphite ranging from zero to twenty 0 20 wt . To solve the problem of making the molten aluminum alloy wetting the graphite, a special chemical activation was carried out. The accent is on mechanical performance, describing how the presence of reinforcement in a metallic matrix influences its mechanical and physical properties. This composite shows a decrease in wear rate due to the presence of graphite fiber in the composite. Nwosu Moses C | Ettah B. O | Eze S. K | Okolie G.

Graphene Presentation
Graphene, the amazing two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial, has attracted extensive interest in recent years and emerged as the most intensively studied material [1]. In 2004, Geim and Nosovelov at Manchester University successfully isolated single layer graphene by the mechanical cleavage of graphite crystal [2]. This ‘‘thinnest’’ known material exhibits extraordinary electronic, chemical, mechanical, thermal and optical properties which bestowed graphene as a miracle material of the 21st Century. From applicative perspectives, graphene holds a great promise with the potential to be used as energy-storage materials, in nanoelectronics, in catalysis, biomedical, in polymer composites and many more.
The document discusses the synthesis of graphene sheets using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and chemical etching. It describes how graphene mono-, bi-, and tri-layers can be grown on a Ni(111) substrate through carbon segregation observed using low energy electron microscopy (LEEM). Single monolayer graphene domains are seen to nucleate and expand across the surface until they meet, exhibiting straight edges reflecting the hexagonal structure. The number of nucleation sites is extremely small. Removing the Ni substrate via chemical etching produces free-standing graphene sheets that can be characterized using scanning electron microscopy or transmission electron microscopy.
Graphene is a new wonder material that could enable many applications. It is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal structure. In 2004, scientists discovered graphene's remarkable properties - it is nearly transparent, highly conductive, stronger than steel yet very light. Graphene could enable flexible touch screens, solar panels, and bionic implants. It has the potential to revolutionize many technologies and improve lives.

Evolution of automobile production has been driven by competitive materials. Light-weight alloys are
continuously developed as most sustainable for automotive sector. Aluminum is being used as a successful
material in automotive applications due to its low weight, higher strength, good corrosion resistance and
formability to suit different design requirements. Since aluminium has the potential to be used as replacement
of the current automotive materials like steel and cast iron, its demand has increased greatly. In a further
development aluminium metal matrix composites (MMCs) were developed and these have improved wear
resistance, high fatigue strength and better thermal stability, as compared with those of aluminum. In
automobile sector, wear is a major problem, specifically in engineering assemblies and materials used for this
purpose should have good tribological properties. To this effect Al MMCs have attracted significant attraction
since they have improved wear resistance. Metal matrix composites are usually produced with secondary
particles in the form of either continuous or discontinuous fiber or particles. From the viewpoint of good
mechanical properties aluminium matrix is generally reinforced by oxide or carbide, nitride or boride
ceramics (like Al2O3, SiC, Si3N4, TiC, TiB2. Reinforcement of the matrix with only one of these
reinforcements may not yield desired properties and the matrix may need to be augmented with other
reinforcements also. Graphite and SiC are the reinforcements used widely in automotive industries to achieve
better mechanical and tribological properties and dampen the vibrations with less operational costs.
Aluminum metal matrix composite can be produced by various methods including powder metallurgy,
conventional casting technology, etc. Among the casting methods semisolid processing of composites yields
better mechanical strength. This review deals with various manufacturing methods of metal matrix composites
processing and insight on semisolid processing and its process parameters.

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.

Design Simulation and Hardware Construction of an Arduino Microcontroller Bas...ijtsrd
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.

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

Several investigations have been documented to improve
the wet ability between the two components by special
treatment of both, the particulates and melt. A
considerable amount of studies have been carried out in
the area of development of processes, the characterization
of the structure and properties of these materials. [10]
In view of the above-mentioned problems, this study was
undertaken to produce an aluminum/graphite composites
with high-quality microstructures characterized by a
uniform distribution of the reinforcement throughout the
whole sample and good mechanical properties of the final
product. The key idea is to apply sufficient shear stress (T)
on particle clusters embedded in the liquid metal to
overcome the average cohesive force or the tensile
strength of the cluster.
A new rheo process has been developed at Brunel centre
for advanced solidification Technology (BCAST), Brunel
University, by utilizing the melt conditioning by advanced
shear Technology (MCAST) process in which the liquid
undergoes a high shear stress and a high intensity of
turbulence inside a specially designed twin screw
machine. The effects of processing parameters on the
reinforcement distribution have also been examined with
the purpose of optimizing the process parameters to yield
components of high integrity. [15]
The experimental results of novel melt-conditioned high-
pressure die cast (MC-HPDC). Aluminum composites are
compared with conventional high-pressure die-casting
(HPDC) samples. The adopted technique or process clearly
demonstrates a significant improvement in the
distribution of the reinforcement in the matrix with a good
combination of improved ultimate tensile strength (UTS)
and tensile elongation (E), which is the stir-mixing and
casting method.
1.2. Statement of Problem
In the world of technology, especially in high speed
transmissions such as automobiles, aerospace, and
spinning- weaving light weight and high strength are
paramount, there is this need to source for materials that
maintain these qualities. This motioned the inquisitiveness
to embark into this type of composite design (Aluminum –
Graphite). Components running at high speeds tend to
change their morphology due to heat generation and as
such resistance to heat is considered in the design.
Early attempts to produce particulate composites by the
stirring technique have not been successful. It has been
postulated that the major difficulty with such an approach
is that most graphite particles are not wetted by most of
the molten alloys. However, the basic problem associated
with the production of aluminum –graphite composite is
that the graphite particle is not wetted by the aluminum
melt. This technique also has the drawbacks of high cost
and/or extensive reaction between the particles and the
melt, which degrades the properties of the composites.
Secondly, the problem of the wetted graphite rising to the
surface of the melt due to the density difference between
the graphite particles and aluminum melt, accumulating at
the top forming a thick layer (pushing effect) was also
encountered.
1.3. Objectives of the Study
A. To enhance stiffness of Aluminum components where
there is need for avoidance of excessive elastic
deflection.
B. To enhance the strength of the material by addition of
reinforcement fiber there by increasing the fatigue
resistance
C. To increase creep resistance, achieved mostly by
addition of long fibres especially to Ti alloys.
D. To produce material with reduced density and high
strength for ultra modern engineering use.
E. To increase the wear resistance of the material (Al-
matrix); introduction of reinforcement reduces wear
rate by factor of up to ten.
F. To make a component that operates under high
temperature conditions.
1.4. Significance of the Study
The behaviour of a manufactured part during its expected
service life is an important consideration. It is important
to determine what could occur on a product that would be
damaging and questions of failure of parts that are made
of these composite materials. This work gives an idea of
the properties of aluminum graphite composite material
to aid in bringing to existence the knowledge its strength,
hardness and other mechanical properties so as to know
the maximum load that can be exerted on parts made of
these material also from the knowledge of its physical
properties which provides its strength to weight ratio,
density presented from the view point of material
selection and manufacturing and its relevance to the
service life of the component.
1.5. Scope and Limitation
The study uses aluminum as the matrix and graphite as
the particulate fibre and the two materials are mixed to
form a homogenous mix. Standard samples were made
from them and to be used for mechanical properties tests
to determine relative properties with fiber concentration
addition. The major problem in this work is difficulty in
mixing to form a homogenous mixture.
2. Literature Review
Among the major developments in materials in recent
years are composite materials. In fact, composite are now
one of the most important classes of engineered materials,
because they offer several outstanding properties as
compared to other conventional materials. Composite
materials have found increasingly wide applications in
aircraft, space vehicles, offshore structures, piping,
electronics, automobiles, boats and sporting goods. [15]
The oldest example of composites is the addition of straw
to clay in the making of mud huts and of bricks for
structural use; this combination dates back to 4000B.C.
[14]. In that application, the straws are the reinforcing
fibers, and the clay is the matrix. Another example of a
composite material is the reinforcement of masonry and
concrete with rods, which was begun in the 1800s.
Examples of metal matrix composites stretch back to the
ancient civilization. [8] Among the first composite
materials to attract scientific as well as practical attention
were the dispersion hardened metal systems. These
developed from work (Schmidt 17, 1924) on consolidated

mixtures of aluminum/alumina powders and led to the
extensive research in the 1950s and 1960s.
Despite their highly promising mechanical and thermal
properties, metal matrix composites (MMCs) have, for a
long time, been afforded only limited use in very specific
applications. [18] Shortcomings such as complex
processing requirements and the high cost of the final
product have presented the greatest barriers to their
proliferation. Improvements in the reinforcement
fabrication and composite processing techniques are
therefore pivotal for increasing their commercial
applicability. [12] Significant efforts have been and
continue to be, devoted to this end with encouraging
result; reinforced metals have begun to show their
presence in large-scale commercial applications. Notable
examples includes the alumina fiber-reinforced aluminum
alloy pistons for diesel engines introduced by Toyota
Motor Corporation in 1982 and, more recently, the
aluminum and carbon fiber-reinforced cylinder liners of
the Honda Prelude Clyne (5, 1993).
(Early Lotus Elise Models in 2000) used aluminum metal
matrix composites rotors, but have less than optimal heat
properties due to the wrong choice of reinforcement agent
and Lotus has since switched back to cast iron usage.
Honda has used aluminum MMC cylinder liners in some of
their engines, including the B21A1, H22A and H23A, F20C
and F22C. Porsche also used MMC in reinforcing the
engine’s cylinder sleeves in the Boxster and 911.
Specialized Bicycles has used aluminum MMC compounds
for its top of the range bicycle frame for several years
Callister (2001).
Aluminum was first produced in 1825. Aluminum,
Alumina/ graphite and its alloys are extensively used in
large number of industrial applications due to their
excellent combination of properties like high strength-to-
weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, better thermal
conductivity, easy to deform, etc. Because of high strength-
to-weight ratio that automobiles and aircrafts component
and their alloys are made in order to make the moving
vehicle lighter, which results in the saving of fuel
consumptions.
Using composite materials can yield terrific benefits in
most industries. One example is the decreased fuel
consumption in the new Boeing 787 Dream liner, which
was designed with a lightweight, composite fuselage and
wings Pamela (15, 2007).
In 2007,alliminum/graphite-composite military High
Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV in
Hummvee) was introduced by TPI Composites Inc. and
Armor Holdings Inc; the first all aluminum/graphite-
composite military vehicle and in 2008 also, an all
aluminum/graphite-composite recreational vehicle (RV)
was introduced by Pilgrim International Inc. the shell is
composed of cosmolite, a thermoplastic fiber-reinforced
composite and the exterior surface sepectralite which
incorporates Dupontsurlyn, an impact resistant coating
found on golf balls.
The principles of precipitation hardening in metals date
from the 1930s and were developed in the following
decade. Recent collected papers celebrating such
landmarks in the use of metals, give a fascinating insight
into the major metallurgical advances during this period.
For both dispersion hardening and precipitation
hardening, the basis of the strengthening mechanism is to
impede dislocation motion with small particles. [1] This is
achieved by the incorporation of either fine oxide particles
or non-shearable precipitates within a metallic matrix. Of
prime importance is the minimization of the spacing
between the inclusions.
Most recent developments have brought the concept of
metal matrix composite closer to engineering practice. An
interesting example is provided by the so-called “dual
phase” steels, which evolved in the 1970s. These are
produced by annealing fairly low carbon steel and then
quenching. This result is a product very close to what is
now referred to as a particulate MMC, with about 70% of
very hard, relatively coarse particles distributed in a soft
matrix. This is a strong-tough and formable material, now
used extensively in important applications such as car
bodywork. Interest in fibrous metal matrix composites
mushroomed in the 1960s, with effort directed mainly at
aluminum and copper matrix systems reinforced with
tungsten and boron fibres. In such composites the primary
role of the matrix is to transmit and distribute the applied
load to the fibres. Researcher on continuously reinforced
composites waned during the 1970s, largely for reason of
high cost and production limitations. The continuing need
for high temperature, high performance materials for
various components in turbine engines have trigged a
resurgence of interest, mainly directed towards titanium
materials.
Discontinuously reinforced composites fall somewhere
between the dispersion strengthened and fiber
strengthened extremes, in that both matrix and
reinforcement bear substantial properties of the load. [4]
They have been rapidly developed during the 1980s, with
attention focused on aluminum-based composites
reinforced with Sic particles, Al2O3 particles, short fibres
or graphite particles. [7]
Metal materials have advantage of higher elastic modules
over polymer matrix, matrix material in these components
usually aluminum, Lithium, magnesium, copper, titanium
and super alloys. The elastic modulus of nonmetallic fibre
ranges between 200GPa and 400GPa with tensile strength
beings in the ranges from 20000MPa to 3000MPa.

2.1. Fabrication Processes
Varieties of processes have been and are being developed for the manufacture of MMCs. These may be divided into
primary liquid processing and secondary processing. A further important distinction can be drawn for the primary liquid
processing depending on whether the matrix becomes liquid at any stage. Each technique has its own limitations in terms
of component size and shape, and imposes certain micro structural features on the product. Table 2.2 lists of different
processing routes which are discussed in this chapter as well as their applicability to the production of different composite
materials.

As can be seen in table 2.2 above, many fabrication routes
are now available by which reinforcements can be
incorporated into a metal matrix. It is important to note
from the outset that making the right choice of fabrication
procedure is just as important as terms of the
microstructure and performance of a component, as it is
for its commercial viability.
However, before looking in detail at the various processing
options, it is worthwhile dwelling for a moment on
selection of the reinforcement clearly, the size, shape and
strength of the reinforcing particles is of central
importance. Often, the choice between the continuous and
discontinuous options is relatively straight forward, both in
terms of performance and processing cost. However,
within each category, there exist wider variations in
reinforcement size and morphology.
As an example, consider particulate reinforcement. The
most convenient form is graphite particle of about 30-
90µm diameter, which is cheap (largely because of the
mature market for its use as a solid lubricant) and
relatively easy to handle.
2.2. Primary Liquid Processing
Various techniques have been developed which involves
the matrix becoming at least partially molten as it is
brought in contact with the reinforcement fibre.
2.2.1. Squeeze Casting and Squeeze Infiltration
The term squeeze casting has come to be applied to
various processes in which pressure is imposed on a
solidifying system, usually via a single hydraulically
activated ram. The technique has certain general
characteristics such as a tendency towards fine
microstructures and low porosity levels encouraged by
efficient liquid feeding. After smelting of the charge, it is
allowed to fall into the die cavity by withdrawing the
sliding base of the crucible, after which the ram is brought
down as to pressurize the melt and force it into the
preformed. Air escape paths are provided here in the form
of a suitable clearance between the die and its base.
Infiltration is usually carried out with equipment of the
type although, the molten charge is often introduced from
the side rather than along axis of the ram travel, the
preformed are commonly fabricated by sedimentation of
short fibres from liquid suspension. It is common to
compress the preformed while the liquid is being drained
off, sometimes with simultaneous gentle heating.
A typical experimental procedure would involve decanting
the liquid with fibres in suspension, into an open-topped
cylindrical die having fine drainage holes around the base.
The liquid is removed by suction while the residue is
compressed by a ram.

The mixing of graphite particulate and liquid metal is a
convenient and versatile technique for MMC production.
The blending can be carried out dry or in liquid suspension.
This is usually followed by cold compaction, canning
evacuation (degassing) and a high temperature
consolidation stage. It can be difficult to achieve a
homogenous mixture during blending particularly with
fibres (and especially whistlers), which tend to persist in
the form of tangled agglomerates with spaces for too small
for the penetration of reinforcement particles. Another
notable feature of much powder route material is the
presence of fine oxide particles usually present in Al-MMCs.
2.3. Secondary Processing
2.3.1. Extrusion and Drawing
Extrusion may be carried out on discontinuous MMCs
produced in various ways commonly by squeeze
infiltration or by powder blending. There is scope for
alignment of fibres parallel to the extrusion axis, but at the
expense of progressive fibre fragmentation.
Drawing involves a rather similar strain field to extrusion,
but the stress state in the process zone has a similar
compressive hydrostatic component. In addition, it is
normally carried out a lower temperature. One
consequence of this is that there is a much greater risk of
internal cavitations during drawing, particularly if the
interfacial bond strength is low. Surface finish, on the
other hand, is often superior.
3. Materials and Methods
3.1. Materials
3.1.1. Equipment and Tools Required
The proposed method of production is the stir mixing and
casting method. A coal furnace was used for the melting
process. In carrying out this, series of apparatus were
made used of which are:
A. Melting crucible for melting of aluminum
B. Stirring pot-it looks like the melting crucible, which
has a stirrer, attached to the lid for stirring the
measured quantities of graphite and aluminum to
obtain the desired result.
C. Measuring cups- They are of four sizes 80g, 85g, 90g
and 95g respectively with insulated handle used in
measuring the exact proportion of aluminum melt to
be introduced into the stirring crucible.
D. Mould made of two layers with sand, blended with
bentolite. It has an upper (male) layer and a lower
(female) layer with half cylindrical impression on both
cavities/layers where the already agitated melt is
being poured into and allowed to cool.
E. Graphite pre-heating crucible for heating of the
measured quantities of graphite particles.
F. Dipper- A spoon shaped object, which contains the
already heated graphite particles, which is to be
dipped into molten silicon to improve its wettabilty.
G. Digital scale-used for weighing graphite particles.
H. Sieves, arranged in decreasing order (90µm to
30µm) to get the desired graphite particle sizes.
3.1.2. Materials Selection
In the course of selecting materials for the manufacture of
the composite material, so many factors were considered
amongst which are: mechanical properties, availability,
cost, mach inability, resistance to corrosion, resistance to
wear, resistance to heat, high strength, and density, etc.
The stir mixing and casting method was due to the fact
that it can easily be worked with and its setup components
were cheap compared to other processing methods.
The required component that make up the composite
material are the matrix which is aluminum, reinforcement
fibre which is graphite and some flux additives.
3.2. Methods
The proposed method of production is the stirring mix and
casting method. A coal furnace was used for the melting
process.
3.2.1. Coating
The coating was done by dip plating technique which is
aimed at promoting the wettability of the graphite on the
final fabricating composite so that there is less concern
about the integrity and microstructure of the coating.
It involves the use of a spoon-shaped dipper to help dip
the particulate reinforcement into the molten silicon so as
to get the adequate coating required. The graphite is first
heated to a temperature of about 9000C, then dipped into
molten silicon for 5 seconds and allowed to cool slowly.
Fig.3.1: The dipping process.
3.2.2. Mechanics of Coating
The avoidance of mechanical damage is the most
important objective of coating for example large
differential thermal contraction stresses can be generated
during fabrication.
A better wetting property of the reinforcement reduces
pushing effect of matrix on the reinforcement and thus
improves even particle distribution. The degradation in
mechanical properties as a result of non-uniform
distribution of Si-C particulate can be attributed to the
tendency of early crack nucleation in the matrix at the
cluster or agglomeration sites.
Poor interfacial integrity prevents the effective load
transfer across the Al/Si-C interfaces, thus reducing the
role of Si-C particulate as load carriers in the metallic
matrix.

3.2.3. Melting and Stirring
According, the present invention provides a process for the manufacture of aluminum-graphite particles composite using
coated graphite particles which comprises melting aluminum alloy in a coal furnace, adding a flux (magnesium) to cover
the melt to remove slag and impurities (coke and pitch) and to prevent absorption of moisture, treating the melt with the
reactive metal to increase the wettability of the alloy and the graphite particles and mixing the melt thoroughly for proper
distribution of the reactive metal, gradually adding the surface activated graphite powder to the bath and stirring at a
temperature of about 3000C to about 4000C.
It is essential that these two prominent impurities are removed before graphite is introduced into the melt. To achieve
this, sieved graphite is heated up to 9000C and maintained for an hour before dispersing in the melt.
To start with, the main crucible for melting aluminum alloy is placed in the furnace and the small crucibles for preheating
graphite powder are arranged on its side. Weighed amount of graphite powder is placed in the crucible and covered with a
lid. The graphite particles were of sizes ranging from 30µm to 90µm and of weights 5g, 10g, 15g and 20g respectively.
As soon as the melting crucible is heated up, a weighed amount of aluminum alloy (where ranges are 80g, 85g, 90g, 95g and
100g) is charged and crucible is covered. Magnesium to the extent of 10% of the melt is recommended to achieve wetting.
The graphite powder is, now added then, agitated with the help of a small spoon to achieve uniform heating and to release
the volatile matter (pitch) from the powder. The lid of the graphite crucible is then removed and addition of graphite
particles is started with the help of a spoon and the addition has to be slow.
If for any reason graphite is not wetted by aluminum, it will be rejected and will float to the surface. In that case the
rejected graphite is skimmed off and fresh addition of pre-heated graphite is made in that manner. To take care of such
eventuality, two lots of graphite are heated side by side in separate crucibles in the furnace.
A spoon is used to take out the composite melt for pouring into the moulds. Every time, before the metal is spooned out, it
is agitated by the spoon itself to ensure uniform distribution of wetted graphite.
The mixer (mixing device) consists of a manually operated handle which is attached directly to the shaft and a bearing to the
lid of the melting crucible having two low carbon steel stirring blades coated with China clay. The mixture poured into the
mould and cooled quickly to prevent the pushing effect of the matrix on the reinforcement as it causes agglomeration of the
graphite particles. Addition of graphite does adversely affect the mechanical properties of the base alloy but the desired
properties can be achieved in the composite by adjusting the percentage of graphite and proper selection of the base alloy. It
however improves the tri biological behavior of the composite. It should be noted that a higher rotation speed of the stirrer
will introduce gases into the melt which will increase the porosity.

Machining and Smoothening of Samples
The samples were machined to required shapes and sizes at the mechanical workshop of the center for composite
research innovation and development, Nsukka, Enugu State, Nigeria. The desired dimensions of length = 120mm and
diameter = 15mm were adequately and correctly obtained.
3.2.4. Testing Equipment Descriptions
Having produced, standard and smoothened the samples for tensile, compressive, bending and hardness strength tests, the
whole samples were taken to Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) Emene, Enugu state of Nigeria for the proper testing
and analysis
3.2.5. Testing Methods
All the mechanical testing methods that were carried out were based on American Standard Testing Methods (ASTM) there
were five tests performed, namely tensile Test (ASTM D638), Bending Test (ASTN D256), Compressive Test (ASTM D346),
Hardness Test (ASTM D570) and Impact Test (ASTM D790).
3.2.6. Determination of the Strength and Elastic Modulus of Composite Materials
The strength and elastic modulus of reinforced aluminum can be determined in terms of the strength and modulus of both
fibre and matrix. In the following equations, c refers to the composite, f to the fibre and m to matrix the total load (Pc) is
shared by fibre (Pt) and matrix (Pm) thus:
Pc = Pt + Pm (3.1)
Which we can be written as
σc Ac = σf At + σ m Am (3.2)
Where Ac = cross sectional area of composite
Af = cross sectional area of fibre
Am = cross sectional area of reinforcement
Denote x as the area fraction of fibre composite
σc = xσf + (1 - x) σm (3.3)
Calculating the load carried by fibre, first note that, in the composite under tension load, the strains sustained by fibre and
matrix the same (that is ec = ef = em)
And, e =
σ
=
Consequently
Pf = Af . Ef
Pm = Am . Em (3.4)
By using equation (3.1) we can determine the fractional Pt/pm.
Hence, substituting Es for σ in equation3.3 to determine elastic module
Ec = x Ef + (1-x) Em (3.5)
3.2.7. Tensile Testing
In a broad sense, tensile test is measurement of the ability of a material to withstand forces that tend to pull it apart and to
what extent the material stretches before breaking. The stiffness of a material which is represented by tensile modules can
be determined from stress-strain diagram.
According to ASTM (D638) a dumbbell shaped specimen is needed for reinforced composite testing. Detailed dimension for
these are shown in figure 3.4 and table 4.1

The testing were done to standard laboratory atmosphere of 230c ± 20c (73.4 0F± 3.6of) and 50 ± 5 percent relative
humidity. A universal testing machine (Gunt Hambury of Germany, Model 75041) was used for graphite-aluminum tensile
testing. The specimens were positioned vertically in the grips of the machine with maximum calibration of 20KN. The grips
were then tightened evenly and firmly to prevent any slippage with gauge length kept at 50mm.
As the tensile test starts, the specimen elongates the resistance of the specimen increases and is detected by a load cell.
Instrument software provided along with the equipment will then calculates the tensile properties for instance tensile
strength yield strength and elongation at break. Below are the basic relationships to determine these properties.

3.2.8. Bending Testing
Bending strength is the ability of the material to withstand bending forces applied perpendicular to its longitudinal axis.
The three point loading system applied on the supported beam was utilized. According to ASTM D790, the specimens of
test pieces were prepared with dimension of 127mm x 12.7mm x 3.2mm (5in x ½ in x 1/8 in). The test pieces were tested
flat-wise on a support and the load was applied as shown in figure below; the load applied at specified cross-head rate was
fixed for a value within the ± 10 % of the calculated R using equation 3.6

3.2.9. Compressive Testing
Compressive test is measurement of the ability of a material to withstand forces that tend to push it together and to what
extent the material compresses before rupture. Compressive tests were performed according to ASTM D346 specification.
They were carried out using an Italian made automatic compressive machine, model L18/0, whose readings ranged from 0
to 250Kn. The test piece was then compressed at a ram speed of several kPa/sec using pre-determined force of 10KN
intervals. The thickness of the sample was recorded at these various forces, until the sample finally failed using a digital
caliper up to the point of failure. The failure of the specimen occurred when the said sample ruptured under an applied
load. The effect of particulates on the compressive strength of the aluminum-graphite composite is shown in figure 4.3
below.
3.2.10. Hardness Testing
Hardness is the property of a material by virtue of which it resists deformation by external forces. Accordingly, in common
hardness testing methods, a hand test body is pressed into the sample perpendicular to its surface. Lasting impressions
can be achieved in very hand and brittle materials without resulting in cracks. This, however, distinguishes hardness
testing from the tensile testing of the sample. The test sample was placed on the supporting surface so that the centre of
the test sample was located below the centre of the hardened steel sphere called the indenter. Then a force of about
5Newtons was applied to the selected position of the test sample for a restricted time and after an indentation was made
on the sample the load was released.
3.2.11. Impact Testing
The impact properties of the material are defined as the ability to absorb applied energy. It is a measure of toughness.
According to ASTM D256, test method A (Izod type) was used for testing. The apparatus involved was cantilever Beam
(Izod type). In this testing, specimens were clamped vertically as a cantilever beam and then stuck by a single swig of the
pendulum released from a fixed distance from the specimen’s clamp.
In this work of research, RAY-RAN universal Pendulum Impact System forIzod-charpy-Tenson and Puncture was used to
measure the work of fracture for graphite –aluminum composite. There are few parameters that are set according to the
standard for instances, hammer velocity - 3.46m/s and Hammer weight = 0.905Kg.

4.2. Discussions of Results
4.2.1. Tensile Test Results
Table 4.1 indicates the typical stress and strain results of reinforced aluminum matrix and graphite fibre tested at cross-
head speed of 50mm/min. After the initial linear elastic behavior, the curvature of reinforced composite observed was not
significant compared to the random graphite particulate has interrupted behavior as they act as foreigners to absorb
stress to certain amount. Conversely, it is observed that without reinforcement the matrix (Al) maintains a tensile strength
of 5.348x105 N/m2, but on addition of the graphite fiber, it continues to increase to the point approximately 22x105 N/m2
at about 12.5 Wt% graphite concentrations, and starts to decrease at further fiber additions. The reason for the fallen in
strength is attributed to high concentration of graphite fiber whose strength is low, as all existing fiber cannot serve to the
composite as interstices to the Aluminum atoms.

Therefore, the tensile strength of the composite can be evaluated as Yt = -0.001X4 -0.054X3 +0.749X2 -1.757X +5.348 at R2 =
1, for a given weight % of graphite fiber concentration, and the strain value can be approximated according to Ye in figure
4.1 above.
4.2.2. Bending Strength Test Results
From table 4.2 are values of bending stress and bending strain; they were both increasing gradually with graphite
particulate loading. The addition of 20%wt graphite has obviously increased the bending stress and bending strain of
unreinforced aluminum as much as 72% and 97.4% respectively. The bending stress of the composite increased linearly
with graphite composition and it was significantly higher than corresponding tensile strength obtained in the experiment.
This is to say that graphite reinforced aluminum composites can withstand bending forces better than tensile stress.
The empirical formula for calculating the bending stress at a given graphite weight % is expressed as,
Yb = -0.013X3 + 0.405X2 + 2.337X + 39.97, at R2 =1
4.2.3. Compressive Test Results
From the table 4.3, the compressive strength of the graphite-aluminum matrix composites has been found to increase on
reinforcement with graphite particles with variable gradient. Compressive strength at any given graphite concentration
(X%) is given as,
Yc = -0.001X3 + 0.044X2 0.312X + 3.102 at R2 = 1
4.2.4. Hardness Test Results
From the figure 4.4, the hardness of graphite-aluminum matrix composites has been found to increase on reinforcement
with graphite particulate as high as 20%wt. The Brinell hardness is obtained with given equation as,
YHb = 3E-0.05X4 -0.029X3 + 0.014X2 – 0.010X + 9.207, at R2 = 1.
4.2.5. Impact Properties
From the figure 4.5 above shows the trend of impact strength with different graphite loadings, the impact strength has
risen from 3.4KJm-2 to 9.7KJm-2 that is with an increment of 186%. It is generally accepted that the toughness of an
Aluminum-graphite matrix composite is mainly dependent on the graphite stress-strain behavior especially graphite
particles with high failure strain can actually impact high work to fracture on the composites. It is equally observed that
the curves of hardness and impact are mirror image. Therefore, impact strength is evaluated for a given wt % of the
graphite concentration with the expression as,
YI = -0.00X4 0.005X3– 0.058X2 + 0.505X + 3.4
4.2.6. Density Properties
It can be seen from the above graph of figure 4.6, that as the graphite particulate concentration increases, the less dense the
composite becomes. Considering also the ranges of thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of the materials at room
temperature, both properties of aluminum alloys are higher than that of graphite which means the higher the graphite
particulate concentration, the lower the thermal and electrical conductivity.
In the curve of the graph, two major gradients are observed; gradient 1, from 0 up to 5wt % graphite conc.% has high
gradient, while gradient 2 is a low gradient from 5 to 25wt. % graphite concentration. The decrease in density is due to the
fiber lower density than that of Aluminum.
Therefore, density is evaluated for a given wt % of the graphite concentration with the expression as,
Yd = 0.011X4 -0.546X3 + 9.680X2 -84.10X 2691, at R2 = 1.
4.2.7 Elastic Modulus Properties
From figure 4.7, the elastic modulus increases with increase in the graphite concentration (%) in the Aluminum matrix to
maximum point of 10wt. (%) graphite of 65N/m2 elastic modulus. With further addition of the graphite concentration (%),
the elastic modulus value began to fall. Therefore, the composite is very sensitive to elastic modulus, and any system that
requires materials with high elastic modulus will not select this composite.
Hence, the elastic modulus is evaluated for a given wt % of the graphite concentration with the expression as,
Yelm = 0.004X4 -0.192X3 + 2.094X2 -2.743X + 26.74 at R2 = 1
From the results in the above tests for behavioral properties, the composite was found to be of good combination of high
strength and low density that makes it suitable for most engineering construction works where there is need of this range of
strength and reduced density. This will be very useful in moving parts where energy consumption and power limitation are
major concerns.

Conditions.
5.1. The Composite (Aluminum- Graphite)
Applications
The product, despite its high strength, has an added
advantage of low density. This makes it suitable to be
applied in numerous areas of modern technology such as:
A. Aircrafts- Aero plane and helicopters etc can be
applied in aerospace
B. In making satellites and missiles bodies.
C. When coated with graphite to improve its wear and
thermal resistance, it is used in automobile industries
for making brake pads and driving shafts.
D. Other applications because of its appearance include-
bicycle frames, storage racks.
5.2. Conclusion
The results obtained from the research showed that a
useful composite with good properties was successfully
developed using powdered graphite as reinforcing agent
in aluminum metal matrix. From this, several conclusions
can be drawn regarding to its mechanical and physical
properties of the composite to the effect of graphite
loadings, normally: tensile, compressive, bending,
hardness, and impact, and density, electrical and thermal
properties.
Conversely, it is found that the bending and impact
strengths increased continually as the graphite
concentration in composite increased. It is observed that
the bending stress increased from 40.0(102NHN2) to
140.75 (102 NHN2) and bending strain increased from 37.5
to 1430.75 respectively for pure aluminum to 20% wt.
graphite. This gradual increase trend has shown that
graphite aluminum composite can withstand bending
forces to a great extent since their high crystalline fibrils
content are strong and can share the load applied in
matrix effectively
Finally to summarize everything, grounded graphite
particulate has enhanced tensile properties in young’s
modulus, bending as well as impact properties of the
aluminum metal matrix. The study has demonstrated the
optimum graphite loading for peal performance as new
processing methods gets developed, and improvement in
particulate matrix bonding is attained. These materials
will have a place in the future for components that require
more resistance to the environment higher operating
temperatures and higher strength than those possible by
polymer metal matrix composites. Such a composite can
be applied in aero-engine components, engine cylinder
blocks, bicycle frames and waveguide for space telescope
due to the above mentioned properties.
5.3. Recommendations and Future Works
This study may be more applicable and better if the
following suggestions are done.
1. Heat treatment of graphite aluminum metal matrix
composite can be done. Better performance of
graphite aluminum composite is expected as this has
been proven in metal alloys,

2. Compounding of graphite particulates or fibres
aluminum should be done in an atmospheric
controlled condition in chamber to give a better
mixing effect as it poses greater control of mixing and
conveying properties.
3. Solution mixing is suggested to replace wet mixing in
metal matrix composite preparation since graphite
will be well adhered in aluminum matrix, this
enhances the mechanical properties.
4. The results of this study suggested a number of new
avenues for research in future. They are:
A. The work should be extended to study other
properties such as creep, fatigue, shear strength
and chemical resistance properties.
B. The usage of different types of graphite
particulate sizes and fibre reinforcement can be
studied for graphite aluminum composite.
C. Besides aluminum, other metal matrix system can
be studied. Also the study should be extended to
polymer matrix composites or hybrid.
D. Hybrid composite composting other
reinforcement (such as fibre of glass) besides
graphite can be studied, as this will definitely
yield better performance of composite systems.
