“…Though liquid metallurgy routes are economical for mass production, the homogeneous distribution of reinforcement particles in the casting is a challenge [17,18]. The Mixing process of matrix materials and reinforcements in powder metallurgy methods is time consuming, high expensive, energy consuming and it is difficult to obtain a bulk material with high density [19]. The process parameters influence the solidification structure of AMCs that demands precise control.…”

Friction stir processing (FSP) is solid state novel technique developed to refine microstructure and to improve the mechanical properties and be used to fabricate the aluminium alloy matrix composites. An attempt is made to fabricate AA6061/TiB2 aluminium alloy composite (AMCs) and the influence of process parameters like rotational speed, transverse feed, axial load and percentage reinforcement on microstructure and mechanical properties were studied. The microstructural observations are carried out and revealed that the reinforcement particles (TiB2) were uniformly dispersed in the nugget zone. The Tensile strength and Hardness of composites were evaluated. It was observed that tensile strength, and hardness were increased with increased the rotational speed and percentage reinforcement of particles. The process parameters were optimized using Taguchi analysis (Single Variable) and Grey analysis (Multi Variable). The most influential parameter was rotational speed in single variable method and multi variable optimization method. The ANOVA also done to know the percentage contribution of each parameter

“…1 Particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites (AMCs), because of its low density, high strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and outstanding abrasion resistance, can well meet these requirements and, accordingly, have been widely used in the industrial fields of aerospace, automotive, microelectronics, etc. [2][3][4] As the potentially feasible reinforcement for AMCs, TiC exhibits a number of favorable characteristics, such as high elastic modulus, high hardness, and especially its good wettability and thermodynamic stability within the molten aluminum. 5 Normally, the large sized reinforcing particles are used in the conventional processing of TiC particle reinforced AMCs, ranging from several tens of micrometers to hundreds of micrometers.…”

Selective laser melting (SLM), due to its unique additive manufacturing processing philosophy, demonstrates a high potential in producing bulk-form nanocomposites with novel nanostructures and enhanced properties. In this study, the nanoscale TiC particle reinforced AlSi10Mg nanocomposite parts were produced by SLM process. The influence of “laser energy per unit length” (LEPUL) on densification behavior, microstructural evolution, and wear property of SLM-processed nanocomposites was studied. It showed that using an insufficient LEPUL of 250 J/m lowered the SLM densification due to the balling effect and the formation of residual pores. The highest densification level (>98% theoretical density) was achieved for SLM-processed parts processed at the LEPUL of 700 J/m. The TiC reinforcement in SLM-processed parts experienced a structural change from the standard nanoscale particle morphology (the average size 75–92 nm) to the relatively coarsened submicron structure (the mean particle size 161 nm) as the applied LEPUL increased. The nanostructured TiC reinforcement was generally maintained within a wide range of LEPUL from 250 to 700 J/m and the dispersion state of nanoscale TiC reinforcement was homogenized with increasing LEPUL. The sufficiently high densification rate combined with the uniform distribution of nanoscale TiC reinforcement throughout the matrix led to the considerably low coefficient of friction of 0.38 and wear rate of 2.76 × 10−5 mm3 N−1 m−1 for SLM-processed nanocomposites at 700 J/m. Both the insufficient SLM densification response at a relatively low LEPUL of 250 J/m and the disappearance of nanoscale reinforcement at a high LEPUL of 1000 J/m lowered the wear performance of SLM-processed nanocomposite parts.

Aluminum alloys are used frequently in aerospace and ship building industry. Due to poor wear and corrosion resistance, conventional aluminum alloys are replaced by metal matrix composites (MMC). Aluminum alloy matrix reinforced with ceramic particles (TiB 2 ) has importance in industry where components slide each other. The main task is to produce MMCs with low cost effective way to meet the requirement. In this study, an attempt is made to produce AA6061/TiB 2 MMCs with different volume fractions of ceramic particles using friction stir processing technique. The dry sliding wear behavior of composites was investigated using pin on disc method. The lowest wear resistance has obtained for 8% composite. The corrosion of composites was analyzed by salt spray method. It was found that wear and corrosion resistance was increased with increase of reinforcement which was higher for 8% composite.
