If save our earth, our using/manufacturing products do not affect earth or not spoil the earth. So we want to make eco friendly products. This type of eco friendly products are manufacturing by major constituents of Natural or natural composite materials. Composite materials constitute a significant proportion of the engineered materials market ranging from everyday products to sophisticated niche applications. Natural fibers are worth as weight-saving materials. Natural fibers have been used to reinforce materials for over 3,000 years. Natural fibers have the advantage that they are renewable resources and have marketing appeal. Due to the demand and needs we want to find out new combination eco-friendly materials either recyclable or bio degradable. In this fibers may be using for bio degradable/ recyclable packaging, sealing, and fabrication applications. So we want to study the properties of Maize fibers. Alkaline treating is essential one of Natural fibers treating. Alkaline treated Maize fibers properties are having better Tensile and elongation compare to raw Maize fibers.

HEAs are a proficient class of alloys designed by the use of several constituent alloying elements in equiatomic or close to equiatomic ratios. In view of their distinctive property range, there has been huge attention on this class of alloys. Among the various group of HEAs, AlCoCrFeNi-based HEAs have attracted interest due to their enhanced properties. Various AlCoCrFeNi-based HEAs are developed by adding additional elements such as Mo, Ti, and Zr. The effect of these alloying constituents on the mechanical, metallurgical, and tribological performance of the AlCoCrFeNi HEA is discussed in detail. In addition to that, the various techniques used to produce these HEAs are also discussed.

Herein, a traditional beam casting method is adopted for developing the proposed newer concrete sample cubes. e-waste materials are sized down to a particle size of 12 mm with the help of a shredding machine. These downsized e-waste particles are used as partial replacement materials for coarse aggregate viz. gravels in the range of 0–20 wt% in order to fabricate M25 grade concrete cubes. Structural behavior of the developed concrete reveals that conversion of e-waste as coarse aggregate exhibits better compression and flexural strength when compared to that of conventional material made cubes. Upon comparison of beams, it could be seen that the load carrying capacity also increases from 426 kN to 480 kN, and the compressive strength of the beams has also been improved from 18 N/mm2 to 30 N/mm2. Obtained results further demonstrate that replacement of coarse aggregate with E-waste displays better performance up to 15 wt%; however, further addition of e-waste displayed a decremental trend in the case of structural strength.

Hybrid combination of advanced nitride based ceramic particles (25% AlN + 75% BN) was dispersed onto the surface of copper matrix at varying volume fractions through FSP technique.

Mechanism of fracture of developed set of surface composites was studied with the aid of the fractography. A tremendous increase in wear resistance was observed with respect to increase in the hybrid particle dispersion owing the hardness and the self-lubricating characteristics of dispersed ceramic particles.
