Effect of Mold Casting Parameters in Interface Properties of Iron/Copper Bimetallic Composites Based upon an Ancient Quranic Metal Matrix Composite (QMMC)

Abstract The relation between iron/copper bimetallic composites has many challenges; one of the most important characteristics is their diffusion and its effect on properties interface region. This paper studies influence casting parameters region these compares it to observations those Quranic metal matrix based Dhul-Qarnayn dam (Gog Magog Wall). A different number steel rods (one, two, three) were placed in an alloy mold, then heated at temperatures 350, 450, 550, 650 °C. After that, molten copper was poured over them into followed by cooling rates (fast, medium, slow). (microstructure, microhardness, bonding strength) investigated. finite element model carried out obtain temperature distribution through specimen. microhardness test results revealed that high preheating rate give a due formation iron oxides fine grains. present experimental show highest bond strength copper, which achieved when reached austenitic phase ( γ -phase) held sufficiently reach successful substitutional mechanism. each parameter obtained experimentally used predict tensile bimetal numerically.
