Analysis of Physical Properties and Fabrication of Silicon Carbide, Graphite and Fly Ash Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites
Abstract: In the present study, a modest effort has been made to produce aluminium based silicon carbide particulate MMCs with an objective to develop a conventional low-cost method of producing MMCs and to acquire homogenous dispersion of ceramic material. To achieve these objectives step-mixing method of stir casting technique has been adopted and subsequent property analysis is performed. Al 6351 has been reinforced by silicon carbide, graphite and fly ash material, …

Microstructural and Mechanical Behavior of Al6082/SiC/Gr Hybrid Composites
Abstract: The aim involved in designing metal matrix composite materials is to combine the desirable attributes of metals and ceramics. The present work is focused on the study of behavior of aluminum alloy (Al6082) with SiC and graphite (Gr) composites produced by the stir-casting technique. The reinforcement percentage is varied from 5% to 15% in a step of three. Microstructure test, tensile test, and hardness tests are performed on the samples …

Microstructural and Hardness Study of A390/20wt.% SiC Functionally Graded Metal Matrix Composite
Abstract: Functionally graded materials are the upcoming new class of advanced materials, which exhibit gradual change in the microstructure and the composition in a definite direction, and hence variation in functional performance within a part. Functionally graded metal matrix composites (FGMMC) are FGM with metal and ceramic constituents. Aluminum-Silicon alloys are well-known for their unique combination of desirable characteristics, which includes excellent castability and less density combined with good mechanical properties. …

Composites: The Future Generation of Aircraft Materials
Abstract: New developments in material science and its technologies find their best fulfilling areas in aircraft and space vehicles. The aviation and space industry has often been a catalyst for the development and innovation of a new material framework in its construction. The basic parameters for aerospace development are weight reduction, system-specific requirements, and low cost. Materials have an impact on the entire life cycle of an airplane, from the design …
