“…In [11], researchers looked at how changing the composition of the wire electrodes affected the A359/SiCp mixture. For the purpose of this study, AMMC was prepared using brass wire and CuZn50 coated copper wire, with a volume proportion of SiC reinforcement ranging from 10% to 30% [12][13]. The results show that coated wire has a higher cutting rate than plain brass wire, whereas the kerf width is less for coated wire than for plain brass [14].…”

There are a variety of uses for metal matrix composites (MMC), including the aerospace and automotive industries. Because of their benefits including light weight and inexpensive cost, they are popular. Wire cut electric discharge machining (WEDM) stands out as a great option for creating complex or complicated shapes out of composite materials, especially when compared to other common non-traditional machining processes. An AA6070 metal matrix composite containing 5% and 10% MgO weight fraction (wt) was made using the stir casting method in this work. Various process factors, such as wire tension (WT), dielectric pressure (Pd), gap voltage (Vg) and peak current (IP) are taken into account when the AMMC specimen is machined utilising WEDM. Slot machining rate (MR) and surface roughness (Ra) can be measured and assessed using L18 mixed Orthogonal Array (OA) investigations. Experiments are examined using TOPSIS and ANOVA methodologies for order preference based on similarity to the ideal results (ANOVA). Analysis has shown that the best mixture of processing factors for improved MR and Ra: wt = 5%, vg = 50 V, WT = 13 g, Ip = 9 A, and Pd = 15 bar. Machining Rate and Ra have ideal process parameters of 1.5 mm/min and 3.648 m. ANOVA shows that MR and Ra are significantly influenced by peak current.

“…Topac et al determined fatigue crack initiation locations and minimum number of load cycles before failure initiation, and then proposed an improved design scheme to increase the fatigue life of the housing [22]. Besides that, Topaç et al also analyzed the failure modes and design improvement of an eccentrically loaded connecting rod for a double front axle steering linkage prototype [23]. Zhang et al analyzed the fracture response of a pipeline girth weld with surface or embedded elliptical cracks subjected to large plastic bending using finite element simulations and established two failure assessment diagrams to perform fracture assessment on the specific pipeline [24].…”

As unpredictable fracture of the front axle will lead to serious safety accidents, its failure behavior study is essential. This paper analyzes typical cracks on I-shaped and leaf springs of the front axle made by Steel A and Steel B. Steel B has a lower content of S, N, Cu, and Sn than Steel A. In order to identify the failure mechanism difference, the low magnification etch test, and metallographic and scanning electron microscope analyses were conducted. The results show that the microstructures are tempered sorbite, and the cracks are with intergranular fracture characteristics. The aggregated distribution of sulfide inclusions in the matrix of Steel A is higher than that of Steel B. Copper-rich particles are detected in the cracks of Steel A. The result indicates that the purity distinction of raw steel can have a big difference on the cracking rate of the front axle even under the same manufacturing process. Relevant suggestions to reduce the cracking are put forward from the aspects of raw materials and process conditions.
