Abstract

In the manufacturing process of metal matrix composites parts, thixoforging is one of the most effective forming processes. The major purpose of the current study is to provide the proper conditions such as the die shape, the forging velocity, the forging time, the forging pressure and reinforcement injection velocity and pressure on various defects in thixoforged cylinder liner, filling tests were performed by MAGMA S/W. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the calculated conditions which is given by computer aided engineering, A357, A380 and SiC<TEX>$_{p}$</TEX>/A380 cylind~5<TEX>$mu extrm{m}$</TEX>r liner were fabricated under the calculated conditions. SiC<TEX>$_{p}$</TEX>/A380 composite billets were fabricated by both the mechanical stirring and electrical magnetic stirring process. Incase fo SiC<TEX>$_{p}$</TEX>/A380 composite cylinder liner, reinforcement distribution and effect of reinforcement(SiC<TEX>$_{p}$</TEX>) content(10~20 vol. %)and size(5.5~14<TEX>${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$</TEX>) on the mechanical properties were investigatedstigated.
