Abstract: In the present work, ZA-27 metal matrix composites reinforced with Al2O3 are prepared by Centrifugal casting process. Pre-treated ceramic particles are reinforced into the molten ZA 27 in different weight proportions as 5,10,15,20 and 25 % wt. at rotational speed of the mould as 400rpm. Mechanical properties of these different types of composites are compared in the present analysis. It is observed that with 20 % Wt. of Al2O3, hardness, tensile and compression strength values are improved, but at the cost of ductility.

Abstract: This article is part of a project Creating database of simulation models to support the teaching of subjects: Modeling and simulation of production systems (GMV, GMV-A) and Production Planning and control (GPR, GPR-A) supported by Science Fund of FME 2014. The folowing arcticle is part of simulation models database designed for educational purposes. It describes practical use of line production system computer simulation. The aim of simulation is to find optimal distribution of production orders input to manufacturing system. Simulation is a noninvasive method by which can be monitored and analyzed the behavior of real system or system in level of design. This means that it is possible to examine the effect of changes in the production system without consequences, which should have their application to the real system. In this article is described the definition of simulation model to which are performed experiments. The experimental results can be applied in practice for streamlining
