Metal matrix composites have been widely used in industries, especially aerospace industries, due to their excellent engineering properties. However, it is difficult to machine them because of the hardness and abrasive nature of reinforcement elements like silicon carbide particles (SiCp).In the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate the influence of spindle speed (N), feed rate...

In this study, hybrid composite materials were produced by adding SiC (Silicon carbide) and MWCNT (Multi-walled carbon nanotube) to Zinc-Aluminium (ZA40) alloy, sintering under 700 MPa pressure 500 °C using mechanical alloying hot press technique. Hybrid samples with 2% constant ratio 1-2-3 4% weight in the mixtures. The properties such as hardness porosity of determined their wear investigated...

Silicon Carbide is often proposed as a sensor material for use in harsh environment applications such as monitoring gas turbines and internal combustion engines. However, little SiC survivability research has been reported for these environments. In this work, data is reported for silicon and amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) coated die survivability in a combustion engine with an exhaust tempe...

We have demonstrated the ability to perform a ductile material removal operation, via single-point diamond turning, on single-crystal silicon carbide (6H). To our knowledge, this is the first reported work on the ductile machining of single-crystal silicon carbide (SiC). SiC experiences a ductile-to-brittle transition similar to other nominally brittle materials such as silicon, germanium, and ...
