Investigation and Analysis in Engine Piston Rod Material
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
In engine, piston is an important element which is considered as the main working part. So it is important to be technical in selecting materials which are used to manufacture a piston. As it the main working part in the engine, automatically it will be subjected to more damage which depends upon the usage of the engine. Commonly the pistons are made up of aluminium alloys, because of its enormous strength and for other mechanical properties. In this project aluminium alloy is replaced with the composite of Aluminium (Lm25), Boron carbide (b4C) and Graphite (G). These hybrid composites are formed using stir casting method in three different ratios. All the three specimens with different ratios are subjected to tensile, hardness and wear tests. The observed values are tabulated and represented graphically. Those values are analysed and determined that the formed hybrid composite material is suitable for the manufacturing of piston rod.
