Study of Mechanical Properties of (Al-Cu-Mg) Alloy Matrix Composite
...Show More Authors

The present research had dealt with preparing  bars  with the length of about  (13 cm) and  adiametar  of  (1.5 cm) of composite materials with metal  matrix  represented by (Al-Cu-Mg) alloy cast enforced by (ZrO2) particles with chosen weight  percentages (1.5, 2.5 ,3.5, 5.5 %). The base  cast and the composite  materials were prepared by casting method by uses vortex  Technique inorder to  fix up (ZrO2) particles in homogeneous way on  the  base cast. In addition to  that, two main groups of composite materials were prepared depending on the particles size of (ZrO2) , respectively.                  

     The study also contained the effect of insolution heat treatment at (505 0C) and the following forming process in addition to aging process at (185 0C) during different periods for all the prepared models. Also we caried on the study of the effect of reinforcement the base cast process with zerconia particles (ZrO2) on some of its mechanical properties. The optical microscopy test should that the microstructures of the composite materials having fine grains as comparet with large grains more of the base cast.  As for hardness test & tensile test results showed an increase in hardness & tensile strength in addition to the increase in (ZrO2) that was added to reach the highest values when the weighted percentage of 3.5% and the amount of(140H.V),(570MPa) respectively. It was noted that the ductile values are reduced

continuously with the   increase of the added (ZrO2) .                                                                                      

     The effect of particle size of (ZrO2) particles on the mechanical properties, it was noted that there was a little reduction in the values of hardness and tensile strength with an increase of the particle size of (ZrO2) bat remains higher than in the base cast and the amount of(110H.V),(210MPa) respectively. While there was an increase in the ductilevalues with increasing the particle size but they still less than in the base cast.

Natural honey is well known for its therapeutic value and has been used in traditional medicine of different cultures throughout the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of Malaysian Gelam honey in inflammation-induced rats. Paw edema was induced by a subplantar injection of 1% carrageenan into the rat right hind paw. Rats were treated with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) Indomethacin (10 mg/kg, p.o.) or Gelam honey at different doses (1 or 2 g/kg, p.o.). The increase in footpad thickness was considered to be edema, which was measured using a dial caliper. Plasma and paw tissue were collected to analyze the production of inflammatory mediators, such as NO, PGE2
