Abstract: In this study Al-5 (Vol) % SiCp nanocomposite powder has been successfully synthesized by high-energy planetary milling of Al and SiC powders for a period of 25 h at a ball-to-powder ratio of 15:1. The changes of the lattice strain, the crystallite size of the matrix phase, and the nanocomposite powder microstructure with time have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray m...

In this paper, a finite element (FE) cutting model for particle-reinforced metal matrix composites (PRMMCs) considering material damage was developed to predict SiC particle failure, forces, and machined surface topography in SiCp/Al composite machining, analyze the dynamic mechanisms of chip formation failure evolution. The validity simulation verified by comparing results with forces obtained...
