With the advent of large number of composite materials, a systematic study of machining characteristics of these new materials is necessary for their rapid adoption in the actual engineering applications. This paper is an attempt to understand the machining characteristics of Al/SiCp composite material, which is the most widely used and projected to have large application in the near future. A ...

This paper presents a framework of data-driven intelligence system which can be applied on magnetic field-assisted electrical discharge machining (MF-EDM) process for SiC particulate reinforced Al-based metal matrix composites (SiCp/Al) with different high-volume fractions. The implemented consists data modelling, predicating, optimization and monitoring modules. A multi-objective moths search ...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have become attractive for engineering structural applications due to their excellent specific strength property and are increasingly seen as alternative to the conventional materials particularly in the automotive, aerospace and defence industries. Al/SiC MMC has aluminium matrix and the silicon carbide particles as reinforcements and exhibits many desirable mech...
