Metal matrix composites are difficult to machine in traditional machining methods. Abrasive water jet machining is a state-of-the art technology which enables machining of practically all engineering materials. This article deals with the investigation on optimization of process parameters of abrasive water jet machining of hybrid aluminium 7075 metal matrix composites with 5%, 10% and 15% of TiC and B4C (equal amount of each) reinforcement. The kerf characteristics such as kerf top width, kerf angle and surface roughness were studied against the abrasive water jet machining process parameters, namely, water jet pressure, jet traverse speed and standoff distance. Contribution of these parameters on responses was determined by analysis of variance. Regression models were obtained for kerf characteristics. Contribution of traverse speed was found to be more than other parameters in affecting top kerf width. Water jet pressure influenced more in affecting kerf angle and surface finish. The microstructures of machined surfaces were also analysed by scanning electron microscopy. The scanning electron microscopy investigations exposed the plastic deformation cutting of hybrid 7075 aluminium metal matrix composite. X-ray diffraction analysis results proved the non-entrapment of abrasive particle on the machined surface.

Pada penelitian ini dilakukan pembuatan metal matrix composite dari bahan serbuk tembaga murni yang akan dipadu dengan bahan penguat berupa serbuk grafit yang dilanjutkan dengan pengujian pada mesin EDM. Metode pencampuran kedua material ini dilakukan dengan proses Powder metalurgi melalui tahapan pencampuran (mixing), penekanan (compaction) dan dilanjutkan dengan proses pemanasan dengan suhu 800 oC(sintering). Pada penelitian ini ingin diketahui pengaruh tekanan akibat proses powder metalurgi terhadap laju keausan material (MRR) dan laju keausan elektroda (ERR) pada material baja ST.37 mesin EDM Chimer EZ Dengan parameter pemakan tetap, arus 2 Amper dan kedalaman 5 mm. Pengujian yang dilakukan yaitu kekerasan dan struktur mikro. Dari hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan dengan semakin meningkatnya tekanan kompaksi laju keausan material MRR dan kekerasan semakin meningkat, sementara laju keausan terendahi terjadi pada tekanan kompaksi 25.000 KN

Micro abrasive water jet (MAWJ) machining is a new promising micro machining technology for brittle material. The rate of material removal is one of the most important parameter for abrasive processes. Predictive mathematical model for the material removal rate is presented for micro channel machining by micro abrasive water jet (MAWJ). A dimensional analysis technique is used to formulate the model. The validity and predictive capability of the models are assessed and verified by an experimental investigation when machining glasses. It shows that the predictions of the models are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Particle Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites (PRMMC's) have proved to be extremely difficult to machine using conventional manufacturing processes due to heavy tool wear caused by the presence of the hard reinforcement. This paper presents details and results of an investigation into the machinability of SiC particle reinforced aluminium matrix composites using Abrasive Water Jet Machining (AWJM). Al-SiC MMC specimens, prepared with stir casting method. The surface roughness of the composite material for these different compositions are examined and compared. The influence of the ceramic particle reinforcement on the machining process was analyzed.

By considering several applications of aluminum based particle reinforced composites especially in automobile, aerospace and electronic industries, in this work, prediction of machinability responses of A356 alloy-SiC particles (5, 10, 15 and 20 vol%) reinforced metal matrix composites is described. Composites were synthesized by vacuum hot pressing (VHP) assisted powder metallurgy (P/M) process. Effect of cutting speed (Vc), feed (f), depth of cut (d) and quantity of SiC (vol %) on machinability of composites in terms of material removal rate (MRR) and resultant cutting forces (FR) during end milling were investigated. Milling experiments were carried in dry condition based on central composite design and KISTLER dynamometer was used to measure cutting forces. Resultant cutting force values were increased from 21 to 105 N with an increase in ‘f’ and ‘d’, but decreased with increase in ‘Vc’. Increase in machining parameters increased the MRR from 2.3 to 8.6 × 103 mm3/min and increase in SiC reduced the MRR. Statistical modeling with cubic response equations were used to predict the results and predicted results were closely matching with experimental values.
