“…It shows that increase in tool wear increases the cutting speed. It is clear that the flank wear (Vbmax) increases with increase in cutting speed, at lower cutting speed tool wear is lesser extended (Seeman et al, 2010).…”

Problem statement: Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) have become a leading material among composite materials and in particular, particle reinforced aluminum MMCs have received considerable attention due to their excellent engineering properties. These materials are known as the difficult-to-machine materials because of the hardness and abrasive nature of reinforcement elementlike Alumina (Al 2 O 3 ). Approach: In this study, an attempt has been made to model the machinability evaluation through the response surface methodology in machining of homogenized 10% micron Al 2 O 3 LM25 Al MMC manufactured through stir casting method. Results: The combined effects of three machining parameters including cutting speed (s), feed rate (f) and depth of cut (d) on the basis of three performance characteristics of tool wear (VB), surface Roughness (Ra) and cutting Force (Fz) were investigated. The contour plots were generated to study the effect of process parameters as well as their interactions. Conclusion: The process parameters are optimized using desirability-based approach response surface methodology.

“…Commonly used reinforcement materials for particulate MMCs are alumina (Al2O3) and silicon carbide (SiC). Much manufacturing research has focused on the manufacturability of MMCs due to the presence of hard and highly abrasive reinforcing agents, which drastically shorten tool lives and result in relatively poor surface finishes [5].…”

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 cutting forces did not remarkably vary with respect to the particle size for the same feed rates. The surface roughness negatively correlated with the particle weight fraction. Better surface qualities were obtained at lower feed rates and higher cutting speeds. Al2O3 Katkılı Al6061 Metal Matrisli Kompozitlerin İşlenebilirliğinin İncelenmesi Anahtar KelimelerMetal Matrisli Kompozitler(MMK), İşlenebilirlik, Yüzey kalitesi, Talaşlı imalat Özet: Bu çalışmada Al6061 matrisli ve 32 ve 66 µm tanecik boyutlu ve %10, %15 ve %20 ağırlık oranlı Al2O3 katkılı, metal matris kompozitler vorteks metodu ile üretilmiştir. Üretilen kompozitlerin yüzey pürüzlülükleri ve kesme kuvvetlerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla değişik ilerleme oranlarında ve kesme hızlarında işlenebilirlik deneyleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Deney sonuçları, kesme kuvvetlerinin ilerleme oranları ile doğru orantılı olduğunu göstermiştir. Kesme hızının arttırılması ise kesme kuvvetlerinin düşmesine neden olmuştur. Aynı ilerleme oranlarında kesme kuvvetleri tanecik boyutu ile belirgin bir değişim göstermemiştir. Yüzey pürüzlülüğü parçacık ağırlık oranı ile ters orantılı olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Düşük ilerleme oranlarında ve yüksek kesme hızlarıyla daha iyi yüzey kalitesi elde edilmiştir.
