AbstractLately, materials research has shifted to composite materials from monolithic, adjusting to the global need for light weight, low cost, quality, and high performance in structural materials. Every effort aims to develop a material which can be appropriate for various industry and machinery purpose. In the present study, a modest attempt has been made to develop cast aluminum based silicon carbide (SiC) particulate metal matrix composite (MMC) and worked upon to raise the wettability factor between the matrix and dispersion phase. Magnesium (Mg) is used as wetting agent. It works by scavenging the oxygen from dispersoids surface and thinning the gas layer around dispersoids and this is done by forming MgO or MgAl

Abstract Lanxide 92-X-2050 is an aluminum-10 Silicon-1 Magnesium-1 Iron alloy with 30 vol.% of silicon carbide particulate. This metal-matrix composite is designed to outperform the unreinforced counterpart. The alloy-matrix composite is available as die castings. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fatigue. It also includes information on casting. Filing Code: AL-343. Producer or source: Lanxide Corporation.

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.
