Micro-Mechanical Finite Element Analysis on Mechanical Behavior of EN31 Steel-Based Metal Matrix Composite

The effect of reinforcement particles weight percentage on the mechanical properties and plastic flow behaviour of aluminum alloy 7075 matrix material

“…Firstly, matrix material was melted at 720 °C into an electromagnetic furnace in a vacuum and then the required quantities of reinforcements were added at a temperature of 690 °C, Table 3. The reinforcement compositions were chosen based on previous work done by researchers [19][20]. It has been found that if reinforcements go beyond 10 percent it increases the various defects like clustering, porosity, blow holes, etc., and if reinforcement goes below 1 percent it has no significant effect [21][22][23].…”

“…It has been found that if reinforcements go beyond 10 percent it increases the various defects like clustering, porosity, blow holes, etc., and if reinforcement goes below 1 percent it has no significant effect [21][22][23]. The reinforcement materials were preheated at 400 °C for 120 minutes before adding to the matrix material [19][20][21][22][23]. The homogeneous mixture was ensured by using a mechanical stirrer at 400 revolutions per minute for 8 minutes to 10 minutes.…”

Experimental and computational investigation on mechanical properties of aluminium alloy 6063/waste eggshell powder metal matrix composite

“…The tensile test has been conducted on computer-controlled Walter + Bai Ag universal testing machine with the quasistatic strain rate of 10 À 3 s À 1 . The load-extension data was converted to engineering stress-strain and true stress-true plastic strain (σ-ɛ) data [26][27][28][29][30]. The specimen has a diameter of 10 mm and a gauge length of 36 mm of the cross-sectional area for investigating material.…”
