“…Table 2 presents some of the physical and mechanical properties of several aluminum alloys and different materials for comparison. The mechanical properties of aluminum alloys, particularly hardness and strength, are markedly improved by precipitation of the elements in heat-treatable aluminum alloys and by hardening in mechanically workable alloys [8,9,10]. Lee et al [11] claim that the 6061 aluminum alloy, a typical AlMgSi (aluminum-magnesium-silicon) alloy, is an agehardening alloy that can be strengthened appreciably by heat treatment.…”

“…The aluminum alloys of the 2XXX, 6XXX, and 7XXX series stand out among the group of heattreatable alloys, while the aluminum alloys of the 1XXX, 3XXX, 4XXX, and 5XXX series, such as the 1100-H12, 3003-H12, and 5052-H12 alloys, stand out among the group of mechanically workable alloys [12]. Another way to increase mechanical strength, stiffness, and wear resistance is by adding oxides, carbides, and nitrides to the aluminum matrix, such as Al2O3p, SiCp, or TiN (titanium nitride), in various proportions [8,9,10]. The designations indicating the treatments to which alloys are subjected are as fabricated (F), annealed (O), strain hardened (H), solutionized (W), and thermally treated (T).…”

The use of aluminum alloys in manufacturing industry has increased significantly in recent years. This is because primarily to their ability to combine lightness and strength in a single material. Concomitant to this growth, the machining of aluminum alloys has enormously increased in volumetric proportionsso that the chip volume represents up to 80 % of the original volume of the machined material in certain segments of the industry, like aerospace. In this context, knowledge of the characteristics of machinability of aluminum alloys is essential to provide industry and researchers with information that allows them to make the right decisions when they come to machining this fantastic material. The purpose of this review is to compile relevant information about the characteristics of machinability of aluminum alloys into a single document.

“…It may be due to the fact that the water particles are finely atomized in presence of compressed air while passing through the nozzle. It eliminates the problem of flush out of the partially de-bonded particles from the machined surface of composites, which is a common problem in wet machining (Kannan & Kishawy, 2006;Kannan & Kishawy, 2008). Moreover, due to cooling effect produced in the air-water spray environment, the temperature of the cutting tool reduces, thus by enhancing the tool life.…”

“…Surface quality deteriorates during wet turning of ceramic reinforced AMCs, due to flushing away of the partially de-bonded particles thus by creating voids and pit holes on the machined surface (Kannan & Kishawy, 2006;Kannan & Kishawy, 2008). Krishna and Reddy (2012) observed an increase in cutting temperature with the increase of either depth of cut or cutting speed, during turning AA 6061/SiC composite using K20 carbide insert.…”

“…Moreover; high material removal rate is desirable during machining to increase productivity. Use of coolant during machining the aluminum matrix composites reduces cutting temperature; however, the surface quality is deteriorated as compared to dry machining (Ding et al, 2005;Kannan & Kishawy, 2006;Kannan & Kishawy, 2008). In this experiment, a novel method of air-water spray cooling (SC) system has been developed for cooling the work-tool interface zone during turning a SiC reinforced AMC.…”

Turning experiments were carried out on AA 7075/SiC composite workpiece in dry and spray cooling environments based on L16 Taguchi design of experiments. Multiple performance optimization of process parameters was performed using grey relational analysis. The performance characteristics considered were average surface roughness, cutting tool temperature and material removal rate. Uncoated carbide inserts were used for machining the workpiece in a high speed precision lathe. A grey relational grade obtained from grey relational analysis was used to optimize the process parameters. Optimal combination of process parameters was then determined by the Taguchi method using the grey relational grade as the performance index. Experimental results indicated that the turning in spray cooling environment was beneficial compared to that in dry environment for the quality response characteristics under consideration. Analysis of variance showed that feed was the most significant parameter for the multiple performance characteristics during turning in both the environments.

In this study two‐dimensional finite element model of Al/SiC metal matrix composites (MMC) are investigated by the use of ABAQUS/Explicit software. Chip formations and machining forces during machining of MMC have been studied and compared to experimental data. It was found that the resulted chips in simulation and the generated chips in experiments both have saw‐tooth in appearance. On the other hand, the obtained cutting forces diagrams from simulation and experimental conditions have considerable fluctuating with passing cutting time. This is due to the interaction between tool and SiC particles during chip formation.
