In the present research work physical, mechanical and tribological behavior of Aluminum (Al) alloy LM13 reinforced with Nano-sized Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) particulates were fabricated, mechanical and tribological properties were investigated. The amount of nano TiO2 particulates in the composite was added from 0.5% to 2% in 0.5 weight percent (wt %) increments. The Al-LM13-TiO2 Metal Matrix Com...

In this paper, an attempt has been made to experimental investigation the machinability of aluminum metal matrix composite (LM13/SiC/15p) during continuous turning of composite rods using carbide inserts. Base matrix material is Aluminium LM13 reinforced with 15 % weight by volume of Silicon carbide particles of mean diameter 20 μm to 40 μm is used. The main focus of investigation is to determi...

Due to their lightweight, new classes of materials including aluminium-based Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) have been popular in recent years various industries aircraft and automobiles. Because its low cost ease availability, aluminium alloy (LM13) MMCs were developed using Rice husk ash (RHA) as reinforcement this study rather than traditional composites prepared the stir casting technique. L...

Conventionally, Cast iron discs are used for brake discs. In the recent past, lightweight materials replace conventional in many vehicles to make them more fuel efficient. This work reports results of modelling and simulation using five different materials. AISI6150, Iron, Ti–6Al–4V, LM13 Al SiC MMC were considered as disc The temperature distribution, heat flux thermal gradient these analysed ...
