Developing a research proposal is a good way to experience the research aspects

Question

Developing a research proposal is a good way to experience the research aspects of social psychology firsthand without conducting an actual research study.

In this assignment, you need to develop a research proposal and include the following sections:

Introduction

Literature Review

Methodology

Discussion and Conclusion

References

Each week, you will concentrate on creating a section of the research proposal. The Methodology section may be based on either of the two major research designs, quantitative and qualitative. You will develop the final project as the course progresses by collating all the sections and incorporating them into a final proposal due for submission in Week 10.

This Week

Work on the Introduction section of the research proposal. Include the following:

Select a topic for your research project.

Explain why this topic is of interest to you (Be careful not to use first-person as this is a formal paper).

Explain the topic and describe the potential research areas in the topic.

Explanation / Answer

Cast Mg-9% Al alloy had undergone through a new processing procedure. This technique involves the application of extrusion and equal-channel angular pressing also known as EX-ECAP respectively. Experiments reveal that the Mg-9% Al alloy has an initial grain size of ~50 m after casting but this is reduced to ~12 m after first procedure extrusion and it is further reduced to ~0.7 m when the extruded alloy is further subjected to ECAP for 2 passes at 473 K. Although the cast alloy exhibits very less ductile behaviour and the extruded alloy is only moderately ductile, it is demonstrated that processing by EX-ECAP has resulted in production of excellent superplastic ductilities including the existence of both low temperature superplasticity and high strain rate superplasticity. When the EX-ECAP process is conducted at 573, it becomes much less effective. Superplasticity was investigated using ambient pressure, uniaxial tensile tests and cone tests with backpressure. The grain structure was weakly textured, statically stable, and superplastic above 500°C.
