The field of materials is currently undergoing extensive research to
identify novel materials possessing characteristics such as low weight,
high strength, and exceptional mechanical properties. This pursuit an
investigation into metal matrix-composites those are both lighter and
stronger. The study revolves around the development of an innovative
aluminium composite material characterized by notable density,
favourable machinability, low corrosion susceptibility, high strength,
light weight, and cost-effectiveness. In this research an aluminium
metal matrix composite of aluminium-0.5, silicon-0.5, magnesium-2.5,
copper-15, silicon carbide-1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12 and 15 was developed by
metallurgical powder method and subjected to the study of erosion wear
properties. The investigation involved conducting solid-particle erosion
tests on prepared samples. A total of thirty five tests were executed,
considering four key process parameters: the percentage of silicon
carbide, stand-off distance, impact velocity, and impact angle. The
experimental findings revealed that the erosion rate exhibited minimum
with an increasing of impact angle, irrespective of the impact-velocity.
Additionally, at higher impact velocities, the erosion rate showed an
increase, while it decreased with an increasing stand-off distance.
Using different erosion test input parameters in the fuzzy model, the
fuzzy results and experimental data showed a percentage deviation not
exceeding 2.91 percent.
