Mechanical Characterization and Machinability Optimization of Stir-Cast Al6061–SiC Metal Matrix Composites
Abstract: This study presents the fabrication, mechanical characterization, metallurgical analysis, and machinability optimization of Aluminum 6061 reinforced with Silicon Carbide (SiC) metal matrix composites (MMCs) at three weight fractions: 5%, 7.5%, and 10%. Composites were manufactured using the stir casting technique, followed by comprehensive mechanical testing (tensile, hardness, and impact), optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Machinability was assessed through turning experiments on a lathe using an L9 Taguchi orthogonal …

Experimental Analysis of Cutting Forces Under Different Machining Parameters and Carbide Inserts During Turning of Hardened AISI 4340 Steel
Abstract: Turning of hardened materials with an advanced coated carbide insert has numerous advantages over the grinding process, e.g., reduced process cost, high material removal rate, and less environmental concern due to the elimination of the cutting fluid. Process parameters in conventional machining operations like cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut play the most crucial role behind the generation of heat which also leads to microstructural changes, improved tool life, …
