Aluminium Matrix Composite

Aluminium matrix composite reinforced Carbon nanoTubes are widely developed because it can increase mechanical strength without reducing its ductility. One of the AMC / CNT manufacturing processes is through the stir casting method. The challenge of the Al / CNT manufacturing process is the occurrence of agglomeration and CNT not homogeneous so that the right casting parameters are needed to obtain optimal results. The purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of pouring temperature on the mechanical strength and microstructure of AA6061 by adding Carbon Nanotube (CNT) through the stir casting method. The CNT is added by 0.1% wt and pouring temperature at 700 °C, 730 °C and 760 °C. Mechanical tests carried out were tensile test, hardness test, and impact test. The highest value of hardness and tensile strength was obtained at the pouring temperature of 700 °C are78 HV and 80.97 MPa. Lower pouring temperature causes smaller grain size so that it has higher strength. The distribution of hardness values ​​at the top, middle and bottom of the specimen is not evenly distributed, but does not differ greatly for all pouring temperatures. The highest value of impact strength is obtained at the pouring temperature of 760 °C which is 0.128 J/mm2. Microstructure was shown the addition of CNTs caused the size of primary silicon and aluminium grains to be small which would increase the mechanical properties.

The response of two different types of aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced with silicon carbide ceramic particulates or nickel metallic particulates to hot compression testing parameters was evaluated. The composites were produced via two-step stir-casting technique. Axisymmetric compression testing was performed on the samples at different deformation temperatures of 220 and 370 °Ϲ, 0.5 and 5 s−1 strain rates and total strains of 0.6 and 1.2. The initial and post-deformed microstructures were studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that flow stress was significantly influenced by imposed deformation parameters and the type of reinforcements used in the AMCs. Nickel particulate reinforced aluminium matrix composite (AMC) showed superior resistance to deformation in comparison with silicon carbide reinforced AMC under the different testing conditions. In both AMCs, work hardening, dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallisation influenced their response to imposed parameters. The signature of dynamic recrystallisation was very apparent in aluminium matrix composite reinforced with nickel particulates.

The Impact

AMC (Aluminium Matrix Composite) is material which has a great potential for being developed. This research was done to find effect added of Cu variation for impact strength and microstructure on Al-Si composite. Mass fractions of sand silika is 3% and Cu variation adding is 0, 1, 2, 3 & 4%. Composite manufacture is using stir casting method with stirring 600 rpm during of 5 minutes on semi solid temperature. Speciments were tested using optical microscope and impact charpy testing machine. The value impact of composite without adding Cu is 0,333 J/mm2 after added Cu value down. Until adding Cu 4% the value impact is 0,104 J/mm2. Micro photograph showed the result of porosity and SiO2 unform distribution with the adding of Cu to the composite. From the test results it is known that the strength of the impact decreases with mass fraction addition Cu. This is because the addition of Cu can increase the porosity and formed CuAl2 phase which are brittle.

Wear Performance

The main objectives of the present study are to develop/manufacture SiC reinforced aluminium matrix composite (SiCp/AMC) with different reinforcement combinations using stir casting method and investigate the effects of heat treatment on wear performance. AMCs were prepared using 20 vol% SiC with three different reinforcement combinations into aluminum matrix. Stir casting is a primary process of composite production whereby the reinforcement ingredient material is incorporated into the molten metal by stirring. The reinforcement combination consists of 20% (single particle size), 7% and 13% (double particle size) and 5%, 5% and 10% (triple particle size). The triple particle size (TPS) composite consist of SiC of three different sizes viz., coarse, intermediate and fine. The solution heat treatment was carried out on cast specimens at 540 0C for four hours followed by precipitation treatment. The wear test was carried out using a pin-ondisc type tribo-test machine under dry sliding condition. The wear morphology of the damaged surface was also studied using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) in this investigation.
