Machinability Analysis

Aluminium Matrix Composites are extensively used due to their desirable properties like low weight, low cost, high strength to weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity and high stiffness. Their applications are diversified in production, thermal, marine and automobile industries. Aluminium is extensively used in ships, aircrafts, cars, electrical wires and household utensils because it is abundant in nature. In the present study, Aluminium alloy Al6061 Hybrid Composites reinforced with Boron carbide and Coconut shell ash are fabricated to replace the individual Aluminium alloy Al6061. For that various tests to determine properties such as strength, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance are conducted on composite samples which make them fit to be used in aircraft window frames by reviewing various literatures. In addition to above, machinability analysis is performed on all the specimens and their surface roughness is measured. Based on the results obtained, we can come to a conclusion that the aluminium composite has superior properties than individual Al6061 alloy.

Wear And Corrosion Resistance

One of the most common castings applied in industrial production is aluminium-silicon alloy (ca. 9% Si with Mg). The Al-SiMg alloys have high corrosion resistance, high strength to weight ratio with modifications, very good castability, a low thermal-expansion coefficient, and relatively good wear resistance. These properties make it possible to widely apply the foundry Al-9% SiMg alloy to number of aviation, automotive, and others materials working on tribological applications. Similar to silumins, the aluminium bronze CuAl10Fe3Mn2 is characterized by good mechanical properties and wear and corrosion resistance. This paper presents the research on the treatment of Al-9%SiMg alloy with a composition of CuAl10Fe3Mn2 in different mass ranges. The experiments were conducted by a factor plan 23 for three independent variables. The main additions were strontium, Al-9%SiMg, aluminium bronze, as well as pure or melted with raw silumin. The effect of the tested additions on the microstructure and tensile strength of the Al-9%SiMg alloy was presented in figures. All analysed parameters (mechanical and tribological) of the hypo-eutectic Al-9%SiMg alloy with tested bronze additions are improved. Based on the analysis of the study results, it was found that the microstructure and tensile strength of the tested alloy are determined through the contents introduced of CuAl10Fe3Mn2 to the alloy.

Aluminium metal matrix composites due to their excellent properties like high strength to weight ratio and high wear resistant are becoming new generation of materials useful for various engineering applications. A continuing problem with these composites is that they are difficult to machine. Machining of these composites depends on the relative content of the reinforcement and the matrix material as well as on its response to the machining process. Experimental investigations have been carried out on the machinability aspects of Aluminium hybrid composites reinforced with Graphite and Silicon Carbide particulates. Experiments have been carried out by Design of Experiments approach. Mathematical models which correlate the interactive and higher order influences of cutting parameters on the resultant force have been developed.

In recent times, any engineering material is deemed worthwhile only if it satisfies functional characteristics such as weldability, formability, machinability, etc. Aluminum-based metal matrix composites have extensive usage in modern automobile parts, aircraft components, and ship structures, mainly due to their attractive properties such as low cost, high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion and wear resistance. Friction stir welding is one of the most versatile solid-state joining processes to ensure weldability between two AMC plates. In this research work, an analysis of FSW process through parameters (e.g., composition of alumina, spindle speed, feed, etc.) in joining Alumina reinforced aluminum alloy composites Al 6061 and Al 2024 together at various proportions by analyzing properties like impact strength, hardness, flatness, and ultimate tensile strength has been done. Finally, optimization is carried out to select the best possible combination using a multi-attribute decision-making technique called the complex proportional assessment of alternatives.

Magnesium alloys are being used as structural components in industry because of their high strength to weight ratio. But their high electrochemical activity and poor corrosion resistance limited their applications. Therefore, surface modifications are needed for protection purpose. This paper studied the anodic micro-arc oxidation and electroless Ni-P plating surface modifications on AZ80 magnesium alloy. The SEM, XRD and EDS were used to characterize the surface coating. It shows that a micro-porous MgO layer with the pores size 5 – 20 μm was fabricated on the bare magnesium alloy. The nodule Ni-P deposition could be prepared on the out layer of MgO with Ni/P atomic ratio being 1.4. The pores in MgO layer could be sealed by the following Ni-P deposition. Therefore the corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy could be further improved.

Aluminium Matrix Composites

Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) used extensively in various engineering fields due to their exceptional mechanical properties. In this present study, aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) such as aluminium alloy (A356) reinforced with rice husk ash particles (RHA) are made to explore the possibilities of reinforcing aluminium alloy. The stir casting method was applied to produce aluminium alloy (A356) reinforced with various amounts of (2%, 4%, and 6%) rice husk ash (RHA) particles. Physical treatment was carried out before the rice husk ash manufacturing process. The effect of mechanical strength of the fabricated hybrid composite was investigated. Therefore, impact test, tensile stress, compressive stress, and some other tests were carried out to analyse the mechanical properties. From the experimental results, it was found that maximum tensile, and compressive stress were found at 6% rice husk ash (RHA) and aluminium matrix composites (AMCs). In future, the optimum percentages of rice husk ash (RHA) to fabricate the hybrid composites will be determined. Also, simulation by finite element method (FEM) will be applied for further investigation.

Abstract The use of lighter materials is one of the efficient means to mitigate the increasing demands on fuel resources, reduce CO2 emissions. Mg is one of the lightest material available and possesses exciting range of properties such as low density and high strength to weight ratio. Despite such exciting properties, the applications of Mg and its alloys were very limited in aerospace, automotive and biomedical industries but recently the application is picking-up. The restricted application is attributed to anisotropy, poor corrosive resistance and inflammability of Mg. The current review addresses the barriers limiting the widespread application of Mg based materials. Furthermore, the mitigation of the problems of anisotropy, poor corrosion resistance, ductility and inflammability of Mg are critically reviewed. The findings of this research provide insights of the processing techniques, properties and how to address the potential barriers of limited applications. The review paper will assist and motivate the researchers to ponder and overcome numerous problems related to Mg and its alloys by understanding the importance of each problem discussed in this review. An attempt has also been made to arrange research status on issues and the mitigation thereof with respect to Mg and its alloys as single reference point.
