... performance. Design/methodology/approach The composites are fabricated through stir casting process. In view of the previous work, the Al-LSP composite with LSP reinforcement (12 Wt.%) shows enhanced mechanical properties and tribological performance, as compared with other weight percentages. Findings...

.... Worn surfaces are observed via scanning electron microscope to study the wear mechanism in detail. Design/methodology/approach Stir casting is used to incorporate varying composition of yttrium particles, having an average particle size of 25 micrometer, in aluminium alloy 6063 matrix. Wear testing...

... composites (AMCs) were prepared using the stir casting process. The wear tests were carried out using a pin-on-disc setup in dry condition. The three levels of each parameter, i.e. 100, 150 and 200°C operating temperature; 15, 25 and 35 N load; 0.8, 1.6 and 2.4 m/sec sliding speed, were considered...

... application in different areas of manufacturing sectors. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, an attempt is made to develop the aluminium-based nano metal matrix composite reinforced with graphene nanoparticles (GNP) by using the stir casting method. Different weight percentage (0.4%, 0.8% and 1.2...

... the effects of variation in weight percentage of ceramic Al₂O₃ particulates during electrical discharge machining (EDM) of stir cast AA2014 composites. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination was carried out to study characteristics of EDMed surface of Al₂O₃...

...Sijo M.T.; Jayadevan K.R.; Sheeja Janardhanan Purpose Stir casting is a promising technique used for the manufacture of Al-SiC metal matrix composites. The clustering of reinforcement particles is a serious concern in this production method. In this work, mushy-state solidification characteristics...
