The Matrix

Metal matrix composite (MMC) is a combination of two or more materials using metal as a matrix. In this paper we used brass as the matrix and fly ash as for the particle. The fly ash used is fly ash which is produced from coal combustion in the Paiton power plant. Fly ash composition in the MMC are 5% and 10%. The MMC was produced with gas furnace. Heat tratment to MMC was done at 350 and 400 °C.Hard testing process, tensile test and impack test are carried out at MMC before heat treatment and after heat treatment. From the test results showed an increase in hardness, tensile strength and impact test showed the heat treatment process at a temperature of 350 °C. Heat treatment at a temperature of 400 °C does not improve the mechanical properties of MMC

Metal Matrix Composite Material

An enhanced nucleation heat treatment process was employed to refine the grain structure of 7075Al/ 7wt.% SiCp metal matrix composite material. The grain structure of the metal matrix composite was investigated. The resulting microstructures were compared. It was found that a fine grained microstructure developed after the rapid heat treatment process. An increase in hardness was achieved, with hardness increasing from 129 HV in the cold extruded state to 137 – 153 HV after the heat treatment process.

Microstructure Examination

In this work, an Al–Zn–Mg–Cu/TiC metal–matrix composite was fabricated through recursive friction stir processing, and its microstructure, hardness, and tribological properties were investigated. Microstructure examination revealed a homogeneous dispersion of TiC particles in the matrix after six recursive passes. The grains were significantly refined and microhardness of the composite improved due to the presence of TiC particles. Friction coefficient and wear rate of the composite went up with an increase in the applied load and dropped significantly at higher sliding velocities. The morphology of the wear specimens experimented under different testing conditions was analyzed and the corresponding wear mechanisms discussed.

The paper proposes a method for preparing composite powders of the Ti/TiB2 system, studies the properties of the obtained composite powders, and also shows a series of experiments on its microplasma spraying. The properties of the sprayed coatings were investigated. On its basis the optimal ratio of the matrix and reinforcing components was established in order to increase significantly the hardness of the sprayed coatings.

Structural Applications

This paper presents the development and characterization of aluminium alloy 6063 based metal matrix composite with varying combinations of fly ash and Borosilicate reinforcements.  In the present work, the aluminium alloy 6063 (AA) is taken at a constant 84 vol% while the reinforcements Fly Ash (FA) and Borosilicate (B) are varied in the proportions of 2%, 4% 8%, 125 and 14%. Six samples were fabricated by stir casting and the mechanical properties were analyzed using tensile test, hardness test and wear test while the microstructure is analyzed by obtaining SEM and EDX images of the specimen. It is seen that both the reinforcements used in this study, increased the tensile and wear resistance of the alloy. The desirable mechanical and micro structural properties were found to be in the specimen with 84% AA, 14% FA and 2% B. The tensile strength of the aluminum alloy at this desirable combination is found to increase by 11.97%, ductility by 36.75% and the wear resistance by 62%.  This metal matrix composite of AA6063 with fly ash and Borosilicate reinforcements can be used in automobile, aerospace and structural applications where wear resistance and tensile properties are mainly required.
