Abstract
Metal matrix composite materials are used in several industrial applications due to its improved specifi c strength, capacity, good wear resistance, and high specifi c modulus and so on. In this work, the Aluminium alloy Al6061 is used as the matrix and 15% of volume fraction of silicon carbide is used as the reinforcing element to fabricate a MMC by stir casting process. The turning process parameters of Aluminium metal matrix composite (AMMC) considered in this work are cutting speed, feed, nozzle diameter and steam pressure and the responses surface roughness and tool wear. Taguchi technique is used in this research work to obtain optimum results and the S/N ratio is used as the quality characteristics and in this work L32 orthogonal array is used to conduct 32 experiments. It is observed that surface roughness of the AMMC is highly infl uenced by the nozzle diameter and it contributes to 19.87% and Tool wear of the AMMC is highly infl uenced by the steam pressure and it contributes to 7.12%.
期刊介绍:
The Chiang Mai Journal of Science is an international English language peer-reviewed journal which is published in open access electronic format 6 times a year in January, March, May, July, September and November by the Faculty of Science, Chiang Mai University. Manuscripts in most areas of science are welcomed except in areas such as agriculture, engineering and medical science which are outside the scope of the Journal. Currently, we focus on manuscripts in biology, chemistry, physics, materials science and environmental science. Papers in mathematics statistics and computer science are also included but should be of an applied nature rather than purely theoretical. Manuscripts describing experiments on humans or animals are required to provide proof that all experiments have been carried out according to the ethical regulations of the respective institutional and/or governmental authorities and this should be clearly stated in the manuscript itself. The Editor reserves the right to reject manuscripts that fail to do so.
