Metal matrix is highly acceptable composites providing good strength for industrial use. In many field of industries, especially aerospace industry metal matrix composites of type Al/SiC is used because of its superior properties. In this research work, experimentalanalysis has been done for producing through hole on metal matrix composites with suitable quality ultrasonic machining (USM) process. Three unconstrained process parameters are chosen, like abrasive slurry concentration, power rating sand tool feed rate. Material removal rate (MRR) is considered as response parameter. The effects of each parameter have been analyzed here. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) has also been applied to identify the most significant factor. Response surface methodology (RSM) has been utilized to developed empirical model for determine the performance of ultrasonic process. Optimization technique has been used to find out the maximum process MRR. Confirmation verification test has been done to improve optimal parametric condition for getting maximum MRR. This research paper gives viability application of USM process for producing of through hole on metal matrix composites and various applications in industry.

Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a non tradition process used for the machining of metal matrix composites. Metal matrix composites are used for applications in aero scope, automobile industries and medical field. Determination of optimal process parameter is difficult in ECM machining process for obtaining maximum Material Removal Rate (MRR) and good Surface Roughness (SR).The multiple regression model was used to obtain the relationship between process parameters and output parameters and Weighted Sum Genetic Algorithm (WSGA) optimization was proposed to optimize the ECM process parameter. .The Voltage, Current, Feed Rate and Electrolyte Concentration are considered as decision variables, MRR and SR are the machining parameters used in the proposed work.

Abstract This research work focus on the formation of AA2024-carbon nanotubes-silicon hybrid metal matrixcomposites. Structure morphology, structural characterization, elemental identification and dielectric properties of AA 2024 in the presence of carbon nanotubes, silicon andits combinations at various proportions was evaluated using SEM, XRD, EDX and Hioki 3532-50 LCR Hi-Tester. A two-stage stir casting method was used for the fabrication of AA2024 hybrid metal matrix composites. It was observed that the size of the AA 2024 + 4% CNT + 2% Si composite wasfound to be 23.6 nm, this shows enhanced results than other composites prepared. Dielectric properties of composites were characterized as a function of composition and frequency. It was found that the dielectric constant, dielectric loss and dissipation factor decreases smoothly with an increase of reinforcements and also frequency.

The Impact

The use of unconventional machining technique for Aluminum based Metal Matrix Composites [MMCs] are generated considerable interest in machining. In the aviation industry, in order to obtain a high precision, a good surface finishing and high working speed, the processing of these hard materials is done with the help of the fiber beam laser). The objective is to determine the mechanical properties of the hybrid composite and further investigate its machinability. The aerospace industry uses the laser machining for its machining process like drilling the cooling holes etc. Standard frequency and variation in other parameters such as pulse width, power, and time will occur the impact in the laser beams composites like diameter and roundness of the hole. Especially, the increase in the variation of power and time plays a vital role in the diameter and roundness of the hole.

Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites (HMMCs) have gained wide applications in aerospace, marine, and domestic areas because of its significant properties relative to external forces and enabling environment. In present research work, Ni-alloy selected as a matrix and Al2O3 of 40–80 μm and TiO2 of 1–5 μm were selected as reinforcements. The composites were prepared by keeping 9 wt. % of TiO2 as unvarying and Al2O3 is varied from 3 weight % to 12 weight % in steps of 3 weight %. Induction furnace is used for the casting of composites and mixing is done by using mechanical stirring at 160 rpm for a time period of 5 min. The prepared composites are then tested for their tensile and hardness as per the ASTM standards. The Scanning Electron Microscopy was used for microstructural study. From experimentation, it was observed that increment in the weight percentage of Al2O3 with constant TiO2 increases the mechanical properties of hybrid composites and proper stirring improves homogeneity in the composite material. The test results show that the addition of Al2O3 up to 9 weight percent increases in tensile strength compared to Ni alloy and tensile strength slowly decreases with the addition of Al2O3 and that the hardness values are directly proportional to the weight percent of the addition of Al2O3 / TiO2.
