“…The impact properties were successfully performed on the processed MMCs with potential and robustness performances. Due to the bear-up with a lack of caution was accumulated below the vibration of MMCs, which was close to the rupture below the rapid stress [23]. The proper interfacial bonding improved the impact properties created in the MMCs.…”

The main aim of this research is to analyze the mechanical performances of the influence of silicon carbide (SiC) particles with AA6351 aluminum alloy. The aluminum metal matrix composites were prepared with liquefying stir casting to produce the metal matrix composites (MMCs). The following weight fractions are AA6351-0% SiC, AA6351-2.5% SiC, AA6351-5% SiC, and AA6351-7.5% SiC utilized to compose the MMCs. The mechanical performances like hardness, flexural, impact, compressive, and tensile studies were investigated on the processed MMCs. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to examine the strengthened particle of SiC. During the SEM examinations, uniformly dispersed SiC-strengthened particles were analyzed. The entire MMCs specimens achieve greater mechanical characteristics; the specimen fabricated with a maximum volume fraction of 7.5 wt% of SiC accumulates higher strength than the other volume fractions samples. The SiC plays a very tedious role in improving mechanical attributes. The fabricated MMCs were highly utilized in the applications of automotive and aerospace usages. This application is fully employed with lesser weight and maximum strength conditions to fulfill the mechanical performances. The stir-casting process was a highly efficient technique to compose better MMCs to achieve greater strength.

“…As evidenced from the microstructures, the bonding of SiC particles with α-Al matrix is very good at 650 rpm stirring speed compared to other 550 rpm and 750 rpm stirring speeds. The optimum stirring speed produces more uniform distributions of particulates in the Al matrix as well as very good wettability [28]. The optical micrographs were carried out to examine the dispersion of SiC particles in the form of interfacial bonding and matrix arrangements in between the base matrix and SiC particles.…”

Aim of the present work focuses with influence of processing parameters on fabricated composites of LM25 alloy with SiC particles reinforcement through the squeeze casting technique. The following process parameters like stirring speed from 550 to 750 rpm, SiC weight proportions from 4 to 8% and melting temperature from 600 to 700oC were employed. Then processed composites were subjected to microstructural analysis and mechanical tests to ascertain metallurgical and mechanical properties. SEM and EDS results confirmed that the better bonding of SiC particles with matrix is achieved in the LM 25 composites and it is due to homogeneous dispersion of SiC particles in the stir casting process. The maximum tensile strength (211 MPa) and hardness (91 Hv) is achieved on the composite samples with processing parameters of 750 rpm stirring speed, 8% of SiC proportions and 650 0C of melting temperature, respectively. From the design of experiment by Taguchi method, it is found that the stirring speed plays an important role in achieving better distribution of SiC particles in the composite samples than that of other parameters like SiC weight ratios and melting temperature of the alloy.

“…In recent years, a growing number of studies have been carried out to improve metal matrix composites by utilizing reinforcement [4][5][6]10]. As a result, if researchers can discover a suitable reinforcement to improve the mechanical characteristics of Ti-6Al-4V matrix composites, the Ti-6Al-4V will be able to overcome some shortcomings, such as reduced hardness and Young's modulus [11,12], and find new uses. Because of its high hardness, high thermal stability, high modulus, approximate thermal expansion coefficient, and Poisson's ratio to Ti-6Al-4V matrix, tungsten carbide (WCp) is a preferred choice for reinforcement [13][14][15].…”

The aim of this study is to evaluate the wear and micro hardness of a Ti-6Al-4V matrix reinforced with 10% and 15% tungsten carbide particle (WCp) composite manufactured using the squeeze casting process. Optical microscopy is used to determine the microstructures of the composite. A pin-on-disc wear test equipment and Vickers hardness at atmospheric temperature were used to examine the wear behaviour wear rate, CoF, and micro hardness qualities of primed samples. Loads of 10 N to 80 N, velocities of 4 m/s, and distances of 1000 m to 2000 m are considered for analyzing the wear behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V composites. The wear rate values are 25.683 for 10% WCp, 30.957 for 15% WCp, and 37.683 and 30.957 for 20% WCp. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is utilized to examine the worn surface of the composites. For 10% WCp, the CoF values are 0.82 and 0.87, and for 15% WC, 0.88 and 0.956. The micro hardness values are 692 VHN for 10% WCp and 835 VHN for 15% WCp. The wear rate, microstructure, SEM images, coefficient of friction, and hardness of TMCs for totaling reinforcing tungsten carbide particle (WCp) possessions were discovered to be improved.
