Download or read book Solidification Processing of Magnesium Based In Situ Metal Matrix Composites by Precursor Approach written by Nagaraj Chelliah Machavallavan and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In-situ magnesium based metal matrix composites (MMCs) belong to the category of advanced light weight metallic composites by which ceramic dispersoids are produced by a chemical reaction within the metal matrix itself. In-situ MMCs comprised uniform distribution of thermodynamically stable ceramic dispersoids, clean and unoxidized ceramic-metal interfaces having high interfacial strength. In last two decades, investigators have been collaborating to explore the possibility of enhancing the high temperature creep resistance performance in polymer-derived metal matrix composites (P-MMCs) by utilizing polymer precursor approach. A unique feature of the P-MMC process is that since all constituents of the ceramic phase are built into the polymer molecules itself, there is no need for a separate chemical reaction between the host metal and polymer precursor in order to form in-situ ceramic particles within the molten metal. Among the different polymer precursors commercially available in the market, the silicon-based polymers convert into the ceramic phase in the temperature range of 800,Äì1000¬∞C. Therefore, these Si-based polymers can be infused into molten Mg or Mg-alloys easily by simple stir-casting method. This chapter mainly focuses on understanding the structure,Äìproperty correlation in both the Mg-based and Mg-alloy based in-situ P-MMCs fabricated by solidification processing via polymer precursor approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the most interesting improvements in the history of materials is composites manufacturing. Because of their ability to improve different mechanical properties of some metals, nanoparticles have been given much attention in the composites community. After the successful use and popularity of Friction Stir Welding (FSW) in many applications worldwide, its latest modification into Friction Stir Processing (FSP) has recently been given a considerable amount of attention. FSP can be considered today as one of the most successful alternatives for fabricating metal matrix composite. In this investigation, a Silicon Carbide (SiC)/magnesium alloy composite was fabricated using FSP. Different combinations of tool rotational and translational speeds (RS and TS) were used throughout the study. The effect of such combination on the thermal profile, micro-hardness, and microstructure was studied and compared. Furthermore, a Response-Surface Methodology was used to develop a model to predict the micro-hardness for FSPed specimens using different combinations of process parameters. FSP of Mg AZ 31B as well as Mg/SiC composite was successfully accomplished using different combinations of tool rotational and translational speeds. Micro-hardness results showed excellent agreement with both the thermal and microstructural analysis. Micro-hardness results of the Mg/SiC composite showed a significant amount of improvement. The developed micro-hardness model was very accurate in predicting the micro-hardness values."--Abstract.
