Tribology and Aluminium Matrix Composites
2015Knowledge of tribology is very old but much attention has been paid only in the 20th century. It is science and technology of interacting surfaces in sliding, rolling, or any other kind of motion. Tribology includes knowledge of wear, friction, and lubrication, which is of much importance in designing of machine components.

Properties of semisolid aluminium matrix composites
Materials Science and Engineering: A, 1994Steady state viscosities of partially solidified composites have been determined using a high temperature viscometer. The composites are based on the alloy A356, reinforced with SiC particles (13 μm; up to 30 vol.%) or SiC short fibres (14 μm diameter; 10 vol.%). The average fibre length was 50–100 μm.

Machinability of Particulate Aluminium Matrix Composites
CIRP Annals, 1992Mechanical and physical properties of light metal matrix composites (MMC) indicate that these materials could play a significant role in applications for engineering components. The aim of this investigation has been to enhance the knowledge about the machinability of a specific particulate aluminium matrix composite (AISi7Mg) alloy reinforced with 14 ...

Corrosion behaviour of aluminium matrix composites
Journal of Materials Science, 1995Samples of aluminium alloy 2014 reinforced with 20–40 vol % of alumina or silicon carbide particles were tested by the potentiodynamic polarization technique. The chosen medium was 0.1m lithium perchlorate which tends to cause localized corrosion. The measurements revealed no impairment of the corrosion performance of the matrix alloy as a result of ...

Damping behaviour of aluminium matrix composites
Materials Science and Technology, 2004AbstractThe damping behaviour of 6061Al/SiC/Gr and 6013Al/SiC/Gr hybrid metal matrix composites, which were fabricated by spray codeposition, was studied. From the experimental results, it was found that a damping peak at ~150°C existed in the damping spectra of these composites, no matter whether measured during heating or cooling. Through a series of

Drilling of hybrid aluminium matrix composites
The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 2006This paper presents the influence of cutting parameters on thrust force, surface finish, and burr formation in drilling Al2219/15SiCp and Al2219/15SiCp-3Gr composites. The composites were fabricated using the liquid metallurgy method. The tools used were commercially available carbide and coated carbide drills. The results revealed that feed rate had a

Joining of Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites
Materials and Manufacturing Processes, 2005ABSTRACT Aluminium metal matrix composites (AlMMCs) offer several advantages relative to monolithic aluminium alloys such as high stiffness, strength, wear resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, etc. However, despite considerable improvements in developing AlMMCs, the lack of reliable joining methods restrict their greater application.

Wear behaviour of an aluminium matrix composite
Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures, 2008ABSTRACTThe wear behaviour of a composite material consisting in AS12UNG alloy reinforced with 15% short fibres of alumina has been studied. The material composition and the wear test conditions were defined in order to evaluate the potential performance of automotive pistons produced with such composite composition.

Computational modelling of the cyclic deformation of aluminium and aluminium matrix composites
Computational Materials Science, 1996This paper deals with the finite element modelling of an Al alloy and an Al alloy/SiC particulate composite under conditions of temperature and load cycling. The model developed in earlier work (see P.E. McHugh and J. Hoade, Proc. IMC-10 Conf. of the Irish Manuf. Comm., ed. P.J. Nolan (Galway University Press, Galway, Ireland, 1993) p.
