Effect of Temperature in Superplastic Forming in Al6063/SiC_p Composites

Abstract:

Superplastic forming in Al6063/SiCp composites having a wide range of applications in aerospace and automobile industries due to the high strength and wear resistance[7]. High percentage of elongation was obtained only at high temperatures. At high temperatures liquid phase will form in the grain boundaries. Due to the liquid phase, grain boundary sliding was easy to get the Newtonian viscous flow[1]. In composites high ductility was obtained only the temperature more than 560°C. The maximum dome height of 19 mm was obtained at 580°C. Temperature is more than 600°C the material was failed, fracture was occurred.
