Abstract
Present work is focused on Horizontal centrifugal casting process, by which a wear resistant material with considerable strength can be designed. A material of heterogeneous microstructure designed in which a high volume fraction of hard particles is dispersed at the inner surface, where better wear properties are needed, and a gradually decreasing lower volume fraction of hard particles at the outer surface. By this, a better strength and ductility will be achieved at the desired surfaces. The present work is focused on the preparation of cylinder liners using centrifugal casting for Al-17wt%Si. These cylinder liners are characterized for Microstructure, Hardness, Tensile strength and Wear.
