Optimization of Squeeze casting process parameters on mechanical properties of SiCp reinforced LM25 composites through Taguchi technique

Abstract Aim of the present work focuses with influence processing parameters on fabricated composites LM25 alloy SiC particles reinforcement through squeeze casting technique. The following process like stirring speed from 550 to 750 rpm, weight proportions 4 8% and melting temperature 600 700oC were employed. Then processed subjected microstructural analysis mechanical tests ascertain metallurgical properties. SEM EDS results confirmed that better bonding matrix is achieved in LM 25 it due homogeneous dispersion stir process. maximum tensile strength (211 MPa) hardness (91 Hv) composite samples rpm speed, 650 0C temperature, respectively. From design experiment by Taguchi method, found plays an important role achieving distribution than other ratios alloy.
