Investigations on Machinability of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Reinforced Al6061 Metal Matrix Composites

Abstract: In this study, six different MMCs containing Al6061 matrix and Al2O3 reinforcements with particle sizes of 32 µm and 66 µm and weight fraction of 10%, 15% and 20% were produced using the vortex method. Machinability tests were conducted at different feed rates and cutting speeds to determine the surface roughness and cutting forces. Result of the tests indicated that the cutting forces positively correlated with the feed rates. Increasing in the cutting speed result in decrease in the cutting forces. The cutti… Show more

“…In case of 10%, 15% and 20% weight percentage variation of Al2O3 by varying speed and feed rate. There is a better quality of surface roughness were achieved for low feed rate with high speed [2]. Increase in Al2O3 and SiC with a wt% of 2 to 6% to Al7075 resulted in the increase in hardness, tensile strength and density of the material [3].…”
