The aim of this investigation is to optimize the process parameters obtain minimum corrosion rate and weight loss Al/SiCp metal matrix composites. A Taguchi based grey relation analysis was carried out. such as number hours dipped in 3% NaCl solution, vol.% SiCp aging at 170°C for were considered. working range each fixed on low rate. test out using relationship analysis. Three factor three lev...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are among the very important engineering materials by which the combinations of various properties can be achieved. The MMCs have the great potential for use in automobile and aerospace industries for possessing high strength, stiffness and hardness. The reinforcement types used in the composites are continuous, discontinuous, short, whiskers and particles. The at...

The objective of this work is to investigate the effects of current, pulse on time and pulse off time in Electro Discharge Machining performance on material removal rate and tool wear rate of Mg/SiCp metal matrix composites. In this work the Mg/SiCp metal matrix composite specimens were prepared by powder metallurgy route. ELEKTRA PLUS spark erosion machine was used for the purpose. Brass tool ...

Aluminum matrix composites reinforced with SiC particles (SiCp) were deposited on ZE41 magnesium substrates by laser cladding in order to improve their tribological performance. Silicon and titanium added the avoid Al-SiC reactivity. The addition of these elements Al4C3 formation during fabrication was successfully explored previous research, but effect wear behavior corrosion resistance coatin...

Aluminum (Al)-based silicon carbide (SiC) material composites are considered as difficult-to-machine materials because of the presence hard reinforced SiC particles, which results in a greater cutting force and poor surface integrity during machining process. This paper established micro-anisotropic mechanical models SiCp/Al with 10vol% studied difference mechanism between ultrasonic elliptical...
