Abstract
Microwave sintering process is the most economical and feasible technique to fabricate composite with superior quality of products. Nickel, aluminium and titanium alloy were reinforced with silicon carbide particles. The different microwave sintering constraints like sintering temperature, heating rate and hold time were considered to fabricate the composite. The fabricated specimens were processed under the evaluation of tensile strength and hardness properties. Taguchi approach was used to optimize the microwave sintering process factor. The parametric effect on tensile strength and hardness were analyzed through contour plot and variance analysis. Tensile strength of 360 MPa was attained at sintering temperature of 1400 °C, holding rate of 20 °C/min and holding time of 80 min. It was observed that sintering temperature has produced 87.01% of effect on tensile strength.
