One of the recently developing fields is that of non-traditional machining of particle reinforced metal matrix composites. The complexity associated with traditional machining of particle reinforced metal matrix composite is very high, and therefore, the researchers have begun to show more focus towards non-traditional machining. In the present work, the investigation has been carried out for non-traditional machining such as laser beam machining, electro-chemical machining, abrasive water jet machining, and electro-chemical discharge. Material removal rate, surface finish, and the mechanism of machining has been studied for each of the aforementioned processes. The main material removal mechanisms as has been identified are melting, mechanical erosion, vaporization, and chemical dissolution. The investigation reveals that the major reasons for the damage of the machined surface are the presence of reinforcement particles and thermal degradation.

Pada penelitian ini dilakukan pembuatan metal matrix composite dari bahan serbuk tembaga murni yang akan dipadu dengan bahan penguat berupa serbuk grafit yang dilanjutkan dengan pengujian pada mesin EDM. Metode pencampuran kedua material ini dilakukan dengan proses Powder metalurgi melalui tahapan pencampuran (mixing), penekanan (compaction) dan dilanjutkan dengan proses pemanasan dengan suhu 800 oC(sintering). Pada penelitian ini ingin diketahui pengaruh tekanan akibat proses powder metalurgi terhadap laju keausan material (MRR) dan laju keausan elektroda (ERR) pada material baja ST.37 mesin EDM Chimer EZ Dengan parameter pemakan tetap, arus 2 Amper dan kedalaman 5 mm. Pengujian yang dilakukan yaitu kekerasan dan struktur mikro. Dari hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan dengan semakin meningkatnya tekanan kompaksi laju keausan material MRR dan kekerasan semakin meningkat, sementara laju keausan terendahi terjadi pada tekanan kompaksi 25.000 KN

By considering several applications of aluminum based particle reinforced composites especially in automobile, aerospace and electronic industries, in this work, prediction of machinability responses of A356 alloy-SiC particles (5, 10, 15 and 20 vol%) reinforced metal matrix composites is described. Composites were synthesized by vacuum hot pressing (VHP) assisted powder metallurgy (P/M) process. Effect of cutting speed (Vc), feed (f), depth of cut (d) and quantity of SiC (vol %) on machinability of composites in terms of material removal rate (MRR) and resultant cutting forces (FR) during end milling were investigated. Milling experiments were carried in dry condition based on central composite design and KISTLER dynamometer was used to measure cutting forces. Resultant cutting force values were increased from 21 to 105 N with an increase in ‘f’ and ‘d’, but decreased with increase in ‘Vc’. Increase in machining parameters increased the MRR from 2.3 to 8.6 × 103 mm3/min and increase in SiC reduced the MRR. Statistical modeling with cubic response equations were used to predict the results and predicted results were closely matching with experimental values.
