Effect of Mould Vibration on Mechanical Properties of Particulate Reinforced Aluminium Alloy Matrix Composite

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the mechanical properties of Titanium Carbide (TiC) particulate reinforced aluminium-silicon alloy matrix composite subjected to mould vibration during solidification. In this experimental study, mould vibration is applied to TiC particulate reinforced LM6 alloy matrix composites with a wide range of frequencies. TiC particulate reinforced LM6 alloy matrix composites are fabricated by adding different particulate weight fraction of TiC in the matrix by carbon dioxide molding process. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness, are determined and microstructural features are analyzed through SEM. Besides, fracture surface analysis has been performed to characterize the morphological aspects of the test samples after tensile testing. Preliminary works show that the mechanical properties have been improved with 10.2Hz frequency when compared with the gravity sand-castings without vibration.
