Development and Characterization of Al-Si-Cu FGM Using Centrifuge Technique

Abstract:

In this work Al-Si-Cu Functionally Graded Material (FGM) is developed using centrifuge technique. The method used in this work to produce FGM is totally different compared to other centrifugal process which helped in producing solid cylindrical parts. The FGM is characterized through Microstructure and Hardness and it is found that the Cu segregated at the bottom of the casting and Si at the top due to the density difference. Similarly the hardness and the ultimate tensile strength at the bottom of the casting and at the top of the casting region is more when compared to region in-between the top and bottom of the casting.
