Studies on Properties of Composite Material (Al-Sic MMC) for Valve Development of Light Vehicle Petrol Engine - A Technical Research
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Material science and Engineering has experienced a tremendous growth in the field of micron and Nano composites developed with enhanced chemical, mechanical and physical properties. Aluminium based Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are appropriate material for engineering sector which are prepared by powder metallurgy and casting method. The present work described that Al-SiC composite as possible alternate materials with its unique capacity to give required properties for different engineering applications. In this paper, describe the microstructure of Al-6061-T6 (Aluminium alloy) and SiC- 1200 mesh (Silicon carbide powder) composites having 0, 5, & 15 volume percentage are produced by Stir casting method (Liquid metallurgy Route). Mechanical Tests like microstructure, Hardness, Strength etc. will be conducted. After developing MMCs compared properties with various existing material and result revealed that can use this composite material for making valves of light vehicle petrol engine.
