  Deep Cryogenic Treatment of Copper Chill Plates in Stir Casting of Al6061-Silicon Carbide Composites

  By Alok Kumar, Shiv Kumar Ray, Rashique Arif, Sunny Chandra, Ashish Kumar Aman, Rajesh Kumar

  Abstract: Aluminum-Silicon Carbide Metal Matrix Composites (Al/SiC MMCs) represent advanced materials created through the integration of aluminum matrices with silicon carbide particle reinforcement. These composites demonstrate superior characteristics compared to conventional aluminum alloys, establishing their relevance across diverse engineering applications. This experimental investigation focuses on developing composites using aluminum as the base matrix while incorporating SiC particles (40-50μm particle size) as reinforcing agents. The reinforcement content was systematically varied from 3 …

  Composite Fabrication by Stir-Cast for Al C355.0 With Particulates Hematite Reinforcements at Different Weight Percentages in Copper Chills with and Without Water Circulation for Mechanical and Fatigue Performance

  By Rajesh T R, B.Venkata Narayana, Santhosh N, S.K. Vutukuru, Jaganraj R

  Abstract: This study investigates the fabrication of aluminum matrix composites using the stir casting method to analyze the mechanical characterization and fatigue behavior of Al C355.0 composites reinforced with varying weight percentages of hematite particulates. The hematite content was systematically adjusted from 0 wt. % to 12 wt. % in 3 wt. % increments, with the presence of constituent elements confirmed through Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The incorporation of hematite reinforcement …
