Thermal shock property of the material can be improved by improving fracture property of the material. In this paper, factors affecting fracture property have been studied and the effect of residual stress, microstructure, strain rate and stress concentration on fracture property of material has been analyzed, which may provide help for improving thermal shock property of material. Thermal shoc...

The development of high damping materials for noise reduction and attenuation of vibration on structural applications, such as automotive and aerospace industries, has been investigated. This experimental study is concerned with the damping capacity (tan delta) and dynamic Young’s modulus (|E*|) of Silicon carbide (SiC) reinforced aluminium (Al) matrix composite. AlSi-SiCp composite was produce...

Abstract In this study, filtration of aluminum alloy (Al) with different weight fractions SiC particles (SiCp) was investigated. Therefore, three filter materials 20 pores per inch (ppi) ceramic foam filters (CFF) were tested. A special three-chamber furan mold used for the casting trials to provide uniform filling and flow conditions process. Samples from sections gating system, as well filter...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are now gaining their usage in aerospace, automotive and biomedical industries because of their inherent properties like high strength to weight ratio, low wear rate etc. To machine these types of materials conventional machining methods are unsuitable because of high tool wear and tooling cost. Electro discharge Machining (EDM) is one of the important nontraditio...

In this paper we present a semi-automatic 2D-3D local registration pipeline capable of coloring 3D models obtained from 3D scanners by using uncalibrated images. The proposed pipeline exploits the Structure from Motion (SfM) technique in order to reconstruct a sparse representation of the 3D object and obtain the camera parameters from image feature matches. We then coarsely register the recons...

Metal matrix composites have been increasingly used as materials for components in automotive and aerospace industries because of their improved properties compared with non-reinforced alloys. During machining the selection of appropriate machining parameters to produce job for desired surface roughness is of great concern considering the economy of manufacturing process. In this study, a surfa...

in recent years the aluminum matrix composites are gaining wide spread applications in automotive, aerospace, defense, sport and other industries. the reason for this is their exciting properties like high specific strength, stiffness, hardness, wear resistance, dimensional stability and designer flexibility. the present work reports on mechanical properties and microstructure analysis of al-si...

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...

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...
