Abstract Metal matrix composite (MMC) clads were developed through microwave cladding technique on CA6NM substrate using different microwave power levels. The influence of microwave power was investigated on the microstructure, phase evolution, mechanical properties, and erosion-tribo performance of the clad layers. Increase in microwave power resulted in reduction of Cr7C3 phase in clad layers, which eventually decreases the fracture toughness and microhardness of the clad. Clad fabricated at 600 W exhibited highest fracture toughness (11.6 ± 0.58 MPa√m) and microhardness (949 ± 47.45 HV). All clads exhibited highest erosion at 60 deg indicating a mixed erosion mode. Clads fabricated at power levels beyond 600 W, with less Cr7C3 content exhibited severe carbide pullout, thus deteriorated the slurry erosion resistance of the clads.

The aluminium based composites are increasingly being used in the transport, aerospace, marine, automobile and mineral processing industries. The widely used reinforcing materials for these composites are silicon carbide, aluminium oxide and graphite in the form of particles or whiskers. In this study Al6061-6 & 4wt% Al2O3 based metal matrix composite were produced by mechanical stir casting process. The obtained cast metal matrix composite is carefully machined to prepare the test specimens for hardness, tensile as well as fracture toughness studies as per ASTM standards. The hardness, tensile strength and fracture toughness properties of Al6061-Al2O3 composites are explored experimentally. Finally compare the material characterization with heat treatment process sample and compare the fracture toughness of sample with mathematical approach, experimental and finite element method.

Abstract Lanxide 93-X-3027 is an aluminum magnesium alloy with 50 or 60 vol.% of aluminum oxide. This metal-matrix composite is designed to outperform the unreinforced counterpart. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness and creep. Filing Code: AL-339. Producer or source: Lanxide Corporation.
