Abstract

The Purpose of this work is to develop a niobium based metal matrix alloy through sintering based powder metallurgy technique. The 2, 4 and 6 weight percentage of Titanium Carbide (TiC) is added to the alloy. Various material properties such as hardness, tensile strength, impact strength and density are measured after the addition of TiC particle. The characterization, microstructure and particle size of the developed metal matrix are learnt through Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Analysis of x-rays (EDAX). Finally, the synthesized niobium metal matrix is machined by unconventional machining processes namely Ultrasonic Machining (USM) and Laser Beam Machining (LBM) processes. The various input and output parameters have been considered for this experimental work. The most influential parameters on Material Removal Rate (MRR) and Surface Roughness (SR) are found by Analysis of variance. The systematic evaluation of optimal parameters of MRR and SR are carried out by using taguchi approach.
