Abstract Precision machining of SiCp/Al composites is a challenge due to the existence reinforcement phase in this material. This work focuses on study textured tools’ cutting performance composite, as well comparison with non-textured tools. The results show that micro-pit tool can reduce force by 5–13% and length 9–39%. Compared tools, stability tools better. It found surface roughness smalle...

The synthesis of agro-waste reinforced metal matrix composites is now very common among researchers because their cost effectiveness, excellent properties and wide industrial applications. This study synthesized a hybrid aluminium 6061 composite with particulates silicon carbide, SiCp carbonized coconut shell, CCSP as reinforcement combined in the ratio 1:1, determined effect combining CCSp rei...

The A356 aluminum alloy is a very commonly used in the automotive industry, for parts such as pistons, cylinder heads, and connecting rods, which mechanical properties can be effectively increased by anodizing. In this work, oxide layers were formed oxalic acid solution with defined parameters on then studied using novel combination of scanning electron microscope (SEM) in-situ nanoindentation....

A solution treatment of 1 hour at 540 o C provided the best results for rheocast alloy A356-T6. Natural aging has a significant influence on the subsequent artificial aging response of the alloy. Arrhenius-type equations were derived to predict the time-to-peak hardness as a function of artificial aging temperature.
