Hybrid Metal Matrix Composite

Abstract: Current engineering applications require materials that are stronger, lighter, and less expensive. Substituting composite structures for conventional metallic structures has many advantages because of higher specific stiffness and strength of composite materials. In the recent days, there is a huge demand for a lightweight material such as composites seems to be a promising solution to this arising demand. These materials have gained attention due to their applications in the field of automotive, aerospace, sports goods, medicines, and household appliances. This study represents the work done by various researchers and their methodologies. In contrast with most metallic materials, copper alloy has many remarkable properties, such as its excellent electrical and thermal conductivities, good strength, and formability, having outstanding resistance to corrosion and fatigue, and others. Due to their excellent properties, copper alloy is widely used in electrical, automotive, architecture, petrochemicals, transportation, and marine industry. In this work the different percentages of CNT and MicroTitanium are reinforced with pure Copper and are studied. The current work investigated the influence of the CNT and MicroTitanium on the wear behavior (tribological behavior) of developed hybrid metal matrix composite. The conventional liquid stir casting technique will be used for the fabrication of the composite materials. The composite was produced considering combination of0.5, 1, 1.5 percentages of CNT and 1, 3, 5 percentages of Micro-Titanium. The specimens were prepared as per ASTM standard size by turning and facing operations to conduct wear test. The specimens for investigation of wear were tested using pin on disk apparatus. Through the results, it is concluded that the hybrid MMC obtained has got better reduction in wear rate. The inclusion of CNT has played a major role in reducing the wear rate and addition of micro titanium has decreased the wear rate to some extent Keywords: Wear, Copper, Micro titanium, CNT, MMC

The friction and wear characteristics of PES/metal matrix composite materials were tested by the ball-disc friction pair of UMT-2 friction and wear test machine. The plastic layer is composed of distinct components. The results showed that: the tribological properties of PES/metal matrix composites were improved significantly after added 5wt % of the LCP. With the increasing of PTFE the PES/metal matrix composite material friction coefficient and wear rate were decreasing when the load of 10N and rotating speed of 400rmp. But the friction coefficient and wear rate increased when the mass fraction of PTFE more than 22 wt %. The tribological properties were the best when the PTFE content was 18 wt % to 25 wt % in the plastic layer.

Metastable Austenitic Stainless Steel

Metal-matrix composite materials, based on a metastable austenitic stainless steel reinforced with a magnesia partially stabilised zirconia have been prepared by a ceramics-derived extrusion technology. Using this powder metallurgical method enables the shaping of lightweight cellular structures as well as bulk specimens with a variety of steel/ceramic ratios at room temperature. However, the extrusion of composite structures is limited by the uniform cross section throughout its entire length. Joining of these metal-matrix composite preforms after sintering by conventional welding techniques is a challenging task. The presence of ceramic fractions may lead to several complications and the subsequent heat exposure during joining may initiate phase transformations in both metastable components resulting in a deterioration of the mechanical properties of the composite material. An adapted ceramics-derived joining technology allows the combination of varying TRIP-steel/zirconia composite materials. The main features are the machining and joining of the parts in their dry green state at room temperature before their thermal treatment. Thus, the material’s consolidation and the formation of the joint take place simultaneously. The ability of joining different parts offers the possibility to create structures for complex applications and testing conditions. The key to advanced properties of the joining zone are the base materials, the surface treatment of the parts, and the paste used for joining. The joining process of different base materials, the mechanical properties, and the microstructure of sinter-joint samples are presented.
