In the present work, the room and elevated temperature mechanical behavior of Al/TiC, high-strength Al-Si/TiC and the elevated temperature-resistant Al-Fe(-V-Si)/TiC composites has been evaluated. The microstructural characteristics of ingot metallurgy (IM) or rapid solidification (RS) Al-Si/TiC and Al-Fe(-V-Si)/TiC composites could be thought of as a combination of the related alloy matrix mic...

The present paper aims to investigate the solidification behavior and the forgeability of Aluminum alloy (LM6)-SiCp composites at different section of three-stepped composite castings. The temperature of the cast composites during solidification has measured by putting K-type thermocouples at the center of the each step/section, from which the solidification curves were constructed. The forgeab...

Wire cut discharge machining is a progressed machining strategy controlled by an outsized scope of assortment of interrelated complex pulse on time, pulse off time and servo speed rate. Any slight variations in one will have an exertion on the machining execution material removal rate. This paper presents a consistent way to deal with optimize Wire EDM response parameters for the aluminum metal...

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is the process of machining electrically conductive materials by using precisely controlled sparks that occur between an electrode and a work piece in the presence of a dielectric fluid. Aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMCs) refer to the class of light weight high performance aluminum ceramic material systems. The reinforcement in AMMCs could be in the f...

Composite materials are promising materials, which should exhibit an improve on several aspects of the physical properties such as mechanical, thermal, electrical etc.. A composite material is a system of materials composed of two or more components randomly mixed and bonded on a macroscopic scale. For example, metal-alloys Silicon carbides such as Aluminum Silicon Carbide (AlSiC) is made up of...

Article history: Received 28.3.2013 Received in revised form 26.4.2013 Accepted 29.4.2013 Aluminum matrix composites containing 55% SiC particle reinforcing phase/SiC reinforcement phase particle and Kovar alloy 4J29 were chosen as the base metals. After nickel plating on the surface of SiCp/Al, two kinds of materials were soldered together by using Zn-Cd-Ag-Cu as the filler metal and ZnCl2 as ...

In recent year’s aluminum and aluminum alloys are widely used in automotive industries. These are light weight (density of about 2.7g/cc),having good malleability and formability, high corrosion resistance and high electrical and thermal conductivity. High machinability and workability of aluminum alloys are prone to porosity due to gases dissolved during melting processes. However, in the engi...

Metal matrix composites with aluminum as base metal are extensively used in the important engineering industries, their properties can be improved for many requirements. In current work it is tried to make process cost effective. The efforts made less expensive properties. this a attempt fabricate Aluminum LM25 based Matrix Composite aim of developing low conventional method manufacturing Compo...

Composite material in general, and metal matrix composites in particular, have been a main topic in research for the last 15 years. Metal matrix composites (MMC) have been found to be useful in a number of engineering applications and particle reinforced aluminum MMCs have received considerable attention due to their excellent engineering properties like high strengt h to weight ratio, high tou...
