Main objective of the present work is to investigate the effect of dispersiod content and the effect of chill on the mechanical properties of chilled MMC with LM25 as matrix and SiO2as dispersoid. Investigation is carried out to evaluate Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS), Fracture toughness, Hardness, and microstructure of chilled aluminum matrix and Glass particulate composite. The glass (SiO2) particles ranging from 30-to100µm were chosen as dispersiod and added, ranging from 3to 12wt% in steps of 3%. The composite was prepared by stir-casting technique and poured into the sand molds incorporated with non-metallic and metallic chills. Test result showed that this MMC was greatly influenced by the dispersiod and chills. Fracture toughness & UTS of the composite are found to depend on the wt% of the dispersiod and chilling medium. It is observed that chill has influenced hardness of the composite. Volumetric heat capacity (VHC) of the chill is found to increase the amount of heat absorbed. Microstructure analysis has reveled uniform distribution of the dispersiod, which results in improved properties of the particulate reinforced metal matrix composite.

Taguchi’S Design Of Experiments

The objective of this work is to investigate the process parameters which influence the fracture toughness of aluminum-silicon carbide particulate composite prepared using the stir casting technique. The Taguchi’s design of experiments is conducted to analyze the process parameters. Three parameters considered are composition of material, grain size and a/W ratio. From the Taguchi’s analysis, on compact tension specimens, aluminum 6061 reinforced with 9 wt% of the silicon carbide particles composite and a/W ratio of 0.45 are considered to be optimized parameters. Taguchi's technique result shows that the increment in the a/W ratio causes decrement in the load carrying capacity of the composite. Whereas the fine grain size of silicon carbide have better toughness values. From the ANOVA outcomes it is clear that the composition and a/W ratio of the geometry has more influence on the fracture toughness than the grain size of reinforcement.

Abstract The current work is to examine the effect of the parameters like specimen thickness, crack length to width ratio and composition of the reinforcements used in aluminium-silicon carbide/alumina particulate composite. The said composite is processed using the stir casting route. Taguchi's optimization techniques such as experiments, ANOVA and regression techniques have been utilized to investigate the parameters. Three factors and their levels considered are the composition of reinforcements (3, 6 and 9 wt%), the thickness of specimen (10, 12, 15 mm) and a/W ratio (0.45, 0.47 and 0.50). Results show increment in composition beyond 6wt%, and a/W ratio decreases the fracture toughness of hybrid composites. From Taguchi's analysis, for a/W ratio = 0.45, 12mm thick specimens and 6wt% of reinforcements in aluminium matrix exhibit the larger fracture toughness. Thus those parameters are considered to be optimized parameters. The analysis shows that the a/W ratio influences fracture toughness, followed by the composition and specimen thickness.

This paper deals with the assessment of dispersiod content and the effect of chill for improved mechanical properties. Investigation is carried out to evaluate Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS), Fracture toughness, Hardness, and microstructure of chilled aluminum matrix and quartz particulate composite. In the present work, Quartz (SiO2) particles ranging from 30- to 100μm were chosen as dispersiod and added, ranging from 3 to 12 wt% in steps of 3%. The composite was prepared by stir-casting technique and poured into the sand molds incorporated with non-metallic and metallic chills. Test result showed that this MMC was greatly influenced by the dispersiod and chills. Fracture toughness & UTS of the composite are found to depend on the wt% of the dispersiod and chilling medium. It is observed that chill has influenced hardness of the composite. Volumetric heat capacity (VHC) of the chill is found to increase the amount of heat absorbed. Microstructure analysis also reveled uniform distribution of the dispersiod, which results in improved properties of the particulate metal matrix composite.
