Comparison of the mechanical characteristics of aluminium SiC composites cast in sand and metal moulds

Comparison of the mechanical characteristics of aluminium SiC composites cast in sand and metal moulds

The consequence of sand and metal moulds on mechanical and microstructural characteristics of Aluminium Silicon Carbide (AlSiC) composite were studied. The composite material was prepared using a liquid-metallurgical technique via stir casting process. The aluminium ingot was melted in a tilting furnace of 5kg for 45 minutes at a temperature of 750ºC. Then 2.5% of silicon carbide (600 grit...
