Abstract
This study investigated the effect of the electromagnetic stirring (EMS) process on the microstructure and mechanical properties of hyper-eutectic Al-15 wt.%Si alloy. The tensile and high-cycle fatigue properties of the EMS Al-15wt.%Si alloy were examined and compared with conventional direct chill (DC) cast alloy. The initial microstructure of the as-cast.....

Abstract
Al 7075 alloy was manufactured using the twin-roll strip casting (TRC) process, and the mechanical and wear properties of the fabricated TRC process were investigated. To compare the properties of the alloy manufactured by TRC, another Al 7075 alloy was fabricated by conventional direct chill (DC) casting as a comparative..... More

Abstract
Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) has excellent wear resistance, high impact resistance, superior fatigue properties, and has been used in the oil and gas drilling industries. This study investigated the effect of Co leaching on the microstructure, vertical turning lathe (VTL) wear properties of PDCs manufactured by high-temperature and high-pressure (HTHP)..... More

Abstract
Al 3003 alloy was manufactured by strip casting process, and the effect of post heat-treatment on tensile and fatigue properties was investigated. The strip cast Al 300 alloy exhibited a unique globular shaped rapid-cooled solidification structure, and the microstructural characteristic remained after heat-treatment. Asstrip cast (F) and heat-treated (O) alloys..... More

Abstract
A polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) is a two-stage sintered body manufactured by placing diamond powders on a WC-Co hard material and then applying the high pressure high temperature (HPHT) sintering process. This study investigated the microstructure and wear properties of the PDC depending on initial diamond particle size. Three different..... More
