“…11, Ge et al [132] reported the tool flank wear under different working times during high-speed milling of a SiC/2009Al composite using a PCD tool; the available tool life could exceed 240 min when a 0.1 mm tool wear criterion was chosen. It was reported that the wear mechanism of diamond-coated micromills was adhesion, abrasion, oxidization, chipping, and tipping [133], and the volume fraction and size of SiC particles present in the aluminum alloy matrix had significant effects on the milling characteristics [134,135].…”

Among the various types of metal matrix composites, SiC particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (SiC p /Al) are finding increasing applications in many industrial fields such as aerospace, automotive, and electronics. However, SiC p /Al composites are considered as difficult-to-cut materials due to the hard ceramic reinforcement, which causes severe machinability degradation by increasing cutting tool wear, cutting force, etc. To improve the machinability of SiC p /Al composites, many techniques including conventional and nonconventional machining processes have been employed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the machining performance of SiC p /Al composites using conventional machining, i.e., turning, milling, drilling, and grinding, and using nonconventional machining, namely electrical discharge machining (EDM), powder mixed EDM, wire EDM, electrochemical machining, and newly developed high-efficiency machining technologies, e.g., blasting erosion arc machining. This research not only presents an overview of the machining aspects of SiC p /Al composites using various processing technologies but also establishes optimization parameters as reference of industry applications.

Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) is a material which has been widely used in the aerospace and automobile industries since the 1980s, and has been classified as a hard to machine material. During the intervening years only a limited amount of research has been conducted into the cutting action of MMCs. As with traditional materials it is important to understand the wear mechanisms that contribute to tool wear reducing tool life. This review has been carried out to establish the optimum machining parameters vital to maximizing tool life whilst producing parts at the desired quantity and quality. The objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the machining parameters for these hard to machine material MMC.

SiCp/Al composites are widely used owing to their outstanding performance. However, due to the existence of brittle SiC, surface defects caused by particle fracture damage the surface quality severely. Meanwhile, due to small cutting parameters during the micro-milling process, especially the undeformed chip thickness, which is mainly determined by the feed per tooth, the size effect of matrix also damages the surface quality. In this study, a method by realizing the ductile regime machining of the particle and diverting away the defects of particles and matrix is proposed to select the cutting parameters and improve the surface quality in micro-milling SiCp/Al composites. Suitable range of values of the feed per tooth for side milling and end milling are obtained by this method and validated by micro-experiments. The results show that the size effect of Al and removal ways of the SiC particles affect the machined surface simultaneously. By using suitable feed per tooth, weak size effect of Al and most of the particles’ ductile regime removing can be realized, leading to the generation of the best surface. Additionally, the machining effects of this method are more prominent in end milling than in side milling.
