In view of the present machining status of SiC particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites, the electroplated diamond wheel (80# diamond grit) was used for mill-grinding the SiC particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites and the effect of speed ratio (q) and material removal rate (MRR) on surface roughness was studied based on experiments. The experimental results show that surface roughness almost increases with the increase of speed ratio. At the same material removal rate, surface roughness increases when raising material removal rate by raising feed rate singlely or raising depth of mill-grinding singlely; surface roughness has decreasing trend with raising material removal rate by increasing feed rate and depth of mill-grinding at the same time.

With the rapid development of aviation at home, particle reinforced metal matrix composites (PRMMCs) has been widely applied recently. But at the same time, the difficult machining has gradually been one of the most outstanding bottle-necks that restrict the rapid enhancement of productivity. Here, in virtue of the self-developed ultrasonic drilling equipment, hole-making experiments of common and ultrasonic vibration drilling are performed on SiC particle reinforced aluminum-matrix composites (SiCp/Al)with different content of SiC by using two types of tungsten carbide drill. Drilling characteristics of machining composites with ultrasonic vibration are analyzed from such respects as the composites crush, drilling force, drill wear and hole surface quality. Studies show that, during the ultrasonic vibration drilling process, SiC particle in the composites is prone to break along the crystal connection boundary or suffer ductile fracture under the dynamic ultrasonic impulse, in which the cutting resistance could be reduced and the tool edge could be protected. Thereby, drilling locating precision and hole surface quality could be enhanced, wear of the drill chisel edge effectively improved, and the drilling torque reduced about 30%.

Machining and conversion of aluminum matrix composites into a desired shape with accuracy has been a challenge for many years. Grinding is a process aimed at achieving better-quality surface finish along with reasonable rate of material removal. The present article describes the influence of operating parameters on the tangential grinding force, size effect, and surface integrity in the grinding of in situ aluminum matrix composites using various grinding wheels. The material removal mechanism of the in situ composite under different grinding conditions is established. Experimental results show that the grinding operating parameters have significant influence on the tangential grinding force, size effect, surface integrity, and material removal. Scanning electron and atomic force microscopy findings indicate presence of numerous surface defects on the grounded surface under all grinding conditions. Diamond grinding wheel outperformed the CBN and Al2O3 wheels by requiring lower grinding force and specific grinding energy and generating lower surface defects. Surface defects, including grinding striation, delamination, and ridge formation are unavoidable under all machining conditions. However, the aforementioned surface defects indicate the ductile mode of material removal at all experimental conditions. Undeformed chip thickness under various grinding conditions plays a significant role in material removal and surface generation. These findings help to understand the mechanism of material removal in machining of in situ composites under various grinding conditions, which helps in attaining the economic production rate without compromising the surface integrity.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of SiC particle pretreatment, aluminum matrix particle size and sintering temperature on relative density, hardness, microstructure and wear resistance to SiC particle einforced aluminum matrix composites. To this end, the amount of 16.7 wt.% SiC with average particle sizes 20μm was used along with pure aluminum of average particle size of 75 μm and 25μm. Powder metallurgy is a method used in the fabrication of this composite in which the powders were mixed using a planetary ball mill. By analyzing SEM micrograph and the Property test, it is concluded that SiC particle pretreatment has significant effect on the morphology of pecimens. pretreatment increase the interface adhesion, improve the wettability. SiC is uniformly distributed in the matrix, with good relation to the substrate, the maximum hardness is 51.1HB, the minimum wear rate is 0.1684%, while the density is 97.3%.For the same SiC content and particle size, the smaller the particle size of aluminum matrix is, the higher wear resistance of composite materials is on condition that others are same, the higher sintering temperature and the higher the wearability of composites, the wear resistance of the composite material is significantly improved after SiC pre-processing.The relative density increases with increasing aluminum matrix particle sizes under the same pressure and the holding time. The actual density of all samples reached the theoretical density over 96%, to a maximum of 98.9%.
