Abstract
An efficient solid-state approach was established to synthesize (K0.5Na0.5) NbO3 ceramics using calcination kinetics and microwave assisted sintering. Milling of carbonate and oxide raw materials were carried out for 15h to obtain homogeneous nano particles. The crystallite size of 5.30 nm was obtained for the KNN system after calcination through optimized parameters and observed to be stoichiometric in nature. The obtained nano particles showed phase transition from orthorhombic to tetragonal crystal structure without any secondary phases. The high relative density and tetragonality ratio of KNN ceramics obtained through optimized sintering parameters yielded with significant piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties.

Abstract
The Nano Hydroxyapatite (HAp), HAp/PEG and HAp/PVP powders derived from both Gastropod shell (natural source) and chemical precursor by the precipitation method were characterized through various characterization techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, SEM-EDX, TEM, Antibacterial activity and SBF analysis. Based on the structural, chemical, morphological and biological characteristics, HAp/PVP from natural and chemical precursors have been compared successfully. Calculated structural parameters, crystallinity index, C/P ratio, morphology, antibacterial activity and SBF analysis of the products show that HAp/PVP-S (derived from a natural source) exhibits good mechanical property, rod like morphology, good antibacterial activity and apatite formation ability at 14 days. EDX analysis also shows the presence of carbon and sodium in HAp/PVP-S. Comparative analysis reveals that characteristics of HAp/PVP-S such as high carbonate content, low crystallite size, poor crystalline nature, presence of trace metal, non-stoichiometric elemental composition and rod like crystals which are matched with the characteristics of biological apatite. Thus, the HAp/PVP-S has the ability to form bone apatite.

Abstract
Novelty: Most of the open literature research has focused on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of AA2050 alloy. Also, a significant study discusses the corrosion behavior of AA2050 alloy based on immersion and electrochemical characteristics. The influence of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir processed AA2050 alloy is scarcely discussed in the open literature. The hot salt corrosion characteristics of friction stir processed AA2050 seldom exists in the available literature. This study concentrates on microhardness, tensile strength, and corrosion properties of friction stir processed AA2050. Also, the work focuses on the influence of artificial aging on the microhardness, and tensile strength of the friction stir processed AA2050.

Abstract
Dissimilar joints of AA2219 and Ti-6Al-4V alloys are obtained using the vacuum diffusion bonding method. The bonding pressure is controlled in the range of 1-4 MPa by keeping the bonding temperature and holding time constant. The influence of the bonding pressure on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the bonding joints is investigated. The diffusion behaviour across the interface of the bonding joints is increased with the increase in bonding pressure. The interface morphology of the specimen bonded at lower bonding pressures exhibits scraggly voids and cracks. The irregular voids and cracks are squeezed and gradually closed due to the significant increase in the diffusion between Al and Ti. The maximum shear strength of 81 MPa is obtained for the joint made at the bonding pressure of 4 MPa, and a diffusion layer of 0.76 µm is formed at the Ti side interface. The fracture morphology inferred the brittle failure of the bonding joints due to the formation of intermetallic compounds like TiAl, TiAl2, and TiAl3 at the interface of Al and Ti.
