Abstract |
|
The aim of this work is to investigate the mechanical behavior and its relation with hardness and surface hardness of the silicon carbide particulate (SiC) reinforced aluminium matrix composite. Aluminium 7075 alloy is chosen as matrix alloy, in which zinc is the main alloying element. Three different additions of Si C were used and the weight fractions were 5%, 10% and 15%. Finally testing for the material is taken out with the necessary features such as chemical composition testing and Vickers hardness measurements. The surface roughness values for the EDM machined surface and casted surface is measured and shown by means of their graphical representation. At the end a metal matrix composite of aluminium 7075 and silicon carbide particulate is found out with their specific improvement in their surface roughness values. |
