A Review on Mechanical Properties of Al-Alloy with B4C and Fly ash Reinforced Metal Matrix Composite

Abstract

Most of the style of production strategies available for discontinuous metallic matrix composites, stir casting is generally regularly occurring as an especially promising route, presently practiced commercially. Its benefits lie in its simplicity, flexibility and applicability to massive amount production with value benefit. The major trouble of this manner is to reap sufficient wetting of particle with the aid of liquid metallic and to get a homogenous dispersion of the particulates. the present assessment is at the technique employed in stir casting which include, how the base steel is melted, at what temperature and kingdom it's miles to be maintained, what conditions the particulates are brought and how the stirring time and stirring speed have an effect on the final composite cloth. The effect of stirrer design and feeding mechanism has additionally been discussed. The variation in the type of mixing the particulates into the metallic matrix has additionally been handled within the paper. in the introductory component the stir casting method with a diagram has been laid out to present an overview of the general system of casting of steel matrix composites. the limitations of the process also are listed in the paper.
