Abstract

Engineered materials with high hardness, great wear tolerance, high high-temperature power, and a low thermal expansion coefficient are aluminum-based composites. These materials are widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries. Friction stir processing (FSP) method used to prepare SiC reinforced aluminium alloy surface composite. Material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (SR) are measured with the impact of pulse on time, discharge current, and pulse off time (add one or two outcomes remark at SR and MRR optimal condition) is examined. For each of the three machining parameters, L9 orthogonal arrays (OA) of three levels were used in conducting the experiments. The validity of the Aluminum Surface Composite experiment programme is determined using MINITAB.

Highlights

  • Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are distinct type of composite material that is increasingly being utilised in architecture and manufacturing

  • Investigational research was performed on 6061-T6 Al/ SiCp surface composite to examine the effect of machining parameters such as pulse off time, pulse on time and discharge current using electrical discharge machining

  • The EDM of SiC-strengthened Aluminum alloy 6061-T6 surface composites produced with Friction stir processing is effectively accomplished

Summary

Introduction

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are distinct type of composite material that is increasingly being utilised in architecture and manufacturing. Aluminium metal matrix composites (MMCs) are extensively utilised in the automotive (brake drum, cylinder liners, cylinder base, and driveshaft) and aerospace sectors because of their high strength, shatter resistance, wear tolerance, and endurance (helicopter components of the chassis, rotor vane, and aero-engines). AlMMCs reinforced by ceramics such as SiC and Al2O3 demonstrated better long-term strength [2,3]. These ceramic particles reinforced Aluminum alloy composites are utilised in applications that need both wear resistance and weight reduction. Aluminum alloy 6061-T6 composites are often used in aviation, safety, cars, and boats because to their improved corrosion and lightweight
