EDM surface effects on the fatigue strength of a 15 vol% SiCp/Al metal matrix composite material

Theoretical determination of the fatigue strength limit of electrical discharge machined (EDM) AISI 8740 steel

“…Furthermore, TiN coating has been proposed as an effective method to improve the fatigue life of the tool steel subjected to the electrical discharge treatment. Fractographic analysis was carried out to investigate the fatigue fracture mechanisms in which the electrical discharge machined SiC particle reinforced A356 Al at 15% volume [5]. Researchers evaluated the effects on the surface quality of the and the performance under monotonic and fatigue loading conditions.…”

Some aspects of Cold Deformation studies of Al-ZrB2 composites

“…Axle tubes, reinforcements, blade, gear box casing, turbine, fan and compressor blades are some other significant applications in military and civil aviation for Aluminium MMCs. MMCs and alloys are extensively used over metals as they offer higher specific properties (properties/unit weight) of strength, stiffness, higher specific modulus, thermal stability, tribological properties and various other mechanical properties which enhances the product performance [3][4]. Titanium diboride (TiB2) and zirconium diboride (ZrB2) are significant boride ceramics which exhibit superior properties like high melting point, extremely high hardness and wear resistance, low specific gravity, magnetic, electrical properties, with high mechanical properties and chemical inertness at elevated temperatures.…”

Effect of Deformation on the properties of Al-4Cu-0.5Mg-2SiC Powder Metallurgy Composite

“…Axle tubes, reinforcements, blade, gear box casing, turbine, fan and compressor blades are some other significant applications in military and civil aviation for Aluminium MMCs. MMCs and alloys are extensively used over metals as they offer higher specific properties (properties/unit weight) of strength, stiffness, higher specific modulus, thermal stability, tribological properties and various other mechanical properties which enhances the product performance [1,2]. Powder metallurgical (PM) components have better properties than components produced through conventional manufacturing processes.…”
