“…This is due to its ease of availability, low cost and a very good ability is being used as a reinforcing phase along with a wide variety of aluminium alloy. It is also evident that glass particulate reinforced aluminium matrix composites exhibit an improved mechanical properties as compared to monolithic alloy [8]. It is clear from the aforesaid statements that aluminium alloy is the most sought after matrix material in the aerospace and automotive applications and is mostly reinforced with particulates for better mechanical and thermal properties.…”

Aluminium metal matrix composites (AMCs) are widely employed in aerospace and automobile applications. Thus, they are required to operate reliably under a severe corrosive, high temperature and carbonaceous environments, without undergoing any deterioration in their mechanical properties. The paper is the compilation of the experimental results and analysis carried out to investigate the effect of different end chills, reinforcement content and carburization on the LM25 aluminium alloy reinforced with borosilicate glass powder. The composites are prepared via stir casting route by varying the weight percent (wt.%) of the reinforcement starting from 3 wt.% and going up till 12 wt.% with an increment of 3wt.% in every step. To obtain quality castings, end chills are placed within the sand mould. The specimens drawn from the chill-end of the castings are pack carburized in a muffle furnace for a set duration of time. The hardness of the specimens before and after carburization is recorded. The analysis of the results illustrates that the hardness increases linearly with the increase in the reinforcement content within the matrix from 3 wt.% up to 9 wt.%. It is also evident that the Volumetric Heat Capacities (VHC) of the chill material bears a strong effect not only on the quality of the castings produced but also on the hardness of the AMCs. Carburization leads to carbon deposition on the surface causing a change in the hardness of the specimens.

“…Among different composites, zircon reinforced composites seems much attractive as these composites exhibited relatively high refractoriness, excellent resistance to abrasion, thermal shock and chemical attack compared to composites reinforced with many other reinforcements [27][28][29][30][31]. On the other hand, metal matrix composites suffer from a loss in corrosion resistance due to a more inhomogeneous structure than alloys.…”

“…They may be explored through different techniques such as mechanical stirring [7][8][9][10], which may have gas injection [11,12], and ultrasonic vibration [13][14][15]. Regarding mechanical stirring, despite its attractive low cost and potential to be scalable [16], it has reported drawbacks such as non-homogeneous particle dispersion [17,18] and weak interface bonding between particles and the metal matrix [19,20]. This makes it an inefficient way to manufacture high performance micro-reinforced components, which commonly leads to the partial incorporation of the particles in the molten metal.…”

The present study details the micro-scale silicon carbide particle (m-SiCp) homogeneous distribution in an A356 alloy through hybrid ultrasonic-stirring melt treatment under different operation conditions. Ultrasonically excited fluids were studied by particle image velocimetry to estimate the efficiency of the acoustic streaming in different distances to the sonotrode. Distinct particle approaches to introduce the melt and stirring techniques were performed to determine a successful route to promote a homogenous distribution of reinforcement particles. Results showed that the addition of m-SiCp in the semisolid state significantly improved particle wettability, preventing rapid sedimentation. The combination of ultrasonic induced streaming and mechanical stirring is an effective tool for the homogeneous distribution of m-SiCp along the casting specimen.
