  An Experimental Study on Multi-Criteria Parameters Optimization of Process for Al6351/SiC/Gr Metal Matrix Composites Using AHP-TOPSIS Approach

  By Sneha H. Dhoria, K. Venkata Subbaiah, V. Durga Prasada Rao

  Abstract: This research focuses on optimizing the process parameters of Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) for a hybrid Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) comprising Al6351 aluminum alloy reinforced with 4% SiC and 6% graphite (Gr), fabricated via squeeze casting. This technique enables the formation of dense, defect-free composites with uniform reinforcement distribution, enhancing both mechanical properties and structural integrity. Microstructural characterization using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) confirmed the even dispersion and bonding …

  Squeeze Casting of Hybrid Aluminum Matrix Composites: A Critical Review of Process Optimization, Reinforcement Strategies, and Performance Outcomes

  By Arvinder Singh Channi, Manjot Kaur Channi

  Abstract: Increasing demand for lightweight, performance-oriented components in automotive, aerospace, and defense industries has driven advancements in squeeze casting, a hybrid technique merging forging and die-casting advantages to produce near-net-shape aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) with superior mechanical-tribological properties. This review critically examines the interplay of process parameters (e.g., squeeze pressure: 70–150 MPa, melt temperature: 650–800°C), reinforcement characteristics (volume fraction ≤10%, particle size: 10–71µm), and interfacial engineering strategies (flux-assisted bonding, ultrasonic dispersion) …
