Investigation of Stress and Wear Analysis for Aluminum-based Metal Matrix Composite Reinforced Silicon Carbide using ANSYS Software Package

Abstract

Introduction: This research paper examines the mechanical and wear properties of aluminium- based cast composites, an exciting category of materials with many different uses. The study aspires to understand more about the effectiveness of these composites under various conditions and weights. Method: This investigation aims to identify the microstructural constituents that influence resistance to wear and mechanical strength. The outcomes will provide fascinating knowledge regarding possible applications of these composites in the field, notably manufacturing, aeroplanes, and shipping, whereby lightweight materials with superior strength and resistance to wear are extensively demanded. Whenever utilized, these reinforcements act like bearing structures that prevent cracks. Aluminium lacks the characteristics needed for a wide range of engineering applications. Results: As a result, it is critical to produce aluminium-based alloys with all of the combinational circuitry properties required to meet our relevant requirements.SEM (scanning electron microscopy) anatomical assessments of aluminium, silicon carbide, and iron. The current inquiry examines the implications of the particle stages on the microhardness, elastic modulus, and mechanical and wear features of aluminium as the base material and silicon carbide as a reinforcement material for composites. The sample’s microhardness and modulus of elasticity improve from 64 to 70 and 688 MPa to 719 MPa, correspondingly, when the weight percentage of silicon carbide (micro %15 and nano%1, 2, 3, 4). Conclusion: The various test results are examined in this investigation and made available for correlation with one another. The mechanical features and resistance to wear of aluminium matrix composites manufactured using several methods have been explored.
