Development of Silicon Carbide Surrounded by Metal Composite and Aluminium Particles on a Basis

Abstract

The aerospace and automotive industries have shown many composites of metals in recent years because of their potential applications. Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) have a higher temperature tolerance and a higher strength-to-weight ratio. Due to the high cost of producing components, particulate MMCs have yet to be widely used in engineering applications. These composites have many benefits over more common materials. Even though it faces several technological challenges, it is still conceivable to use casting technology to discover a solution to this problem. Having reinforcements spread out evenly across the matrix is one of these difficulties. The composite material's characteristics and quality are adversely affected by this issue. In this study, we attempt to produce aluminium-based silicon carbide particulate MMCs. A uniformly distributed ceramic material is a primary research objective, along with developing a standardized, cost-effective method of making MMCs. To achieve these objectives, the stir casting process's two-step mixing strategy is now used to analyze subsequent properties. Al2O3 (98.40%) aluminium and 320-grit silica carbide will comprise the matrix and reinforcement, respectively. SiC weight percentages of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% have all been tested while keeping all other variables constant. We found that the "developed method" is very useful in getting the required result of neutral reinforcement distribution across the matrix. Hardness and impact strength improved with the amount of SiC in the material. The best results have been obtained at a weight fraction of 25% SiC (maximum hardness 45.5 BHN and full impact strength 36 N-m). Assurance levels rose by contrasting the results with those of other researchers.
