Composite material is a development of high performance materials system, which posses the metallic and ceramic material characteristics. Aluminum matrix composites are attracted many researchers due to its improved mechanical properties and wear resistance with minimal weight. Among the various processing route, flex assisted synthesis is a highly potential and low cost method to produce in-situ composites. In-situ aluminum matrix composite has superior performance than the ex-situ composite because of the chemically dispersed reinforcements. The reinforcement phase created by this route is thermodynamically stable and chemically pure. These composites offer many advantages, including more bonding strength, fine, lack of agglomeration and uniform distribution of reinforcements. As a result, the mechanical properties, such as strength and stiffness, increase significantly. In the present work, flex assisted synthesis process is used to produce AA2219 -TiB 2 /ZrB 2 in-situ aluminum matrix composite with the different reinforcement ratio. The present paper is aimed to study the effect of speed, feed rate, drill bit diameter and point angle on surface roughness and delamination in drilling the AA2219 -TiB 2 /ZrB 2 in-situ aluminum matrix composite with the different reinforcement ratio. The experimental investigation was carried out to study effect of one machining parameter, other parameters are kept constant. The major contribution of this work was to study the effect of hybrid TiB 2 and ZrB 2 reinforcements in AA2219 alloy in drilling the composites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
