    Effect of SiC Reinforcement on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite
    (Institute of Physics Publishing helen.craven@iop.org, 2018) Ajagol, P.; Anjan, B.N.; Marigoudar, R.N.; Preetham Kumar, G.V.
    Aluminum reinforced with silicon carbide composites areextensively used in automobile industries and aerospaceowing to their favourable microstructure and improved mechanical behaviour with respect to pure aluminium but at a lower cost. Aluminium is remarkable for the low density and its ability to resist corrosion. The aim of present study istoevaluate the mechanical and microstructural properties of aluminum with silicon carbide (average particle size 30-45μm) reinforced in varying weight percentages (wt %) ranging from 0-15 wt% in a step of 5% each. Ultimate tensile strength, micro hardness and density of the fabricated composites were investigated as a function of varying SiC wt%. Microstructure analysis was carried out on casted composites using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. From micrographs it is clear that fair distribution of reinforcing particles in the matrix and also observed some clustering and porosity in the cast material. Results revealed that, the addition of SiC reinforcement in the aluminum matrix increases the hardness and ultimate tensile strength gradually from 23 HV to 47 HV and 84 MPa to 130 MPa respectively. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

    Influence of sic and al2o3 particulate reinforcement on the mechanical properties of za27 metal matrix composites
    (Trans Tech Publications Ltd ttp@transtec.ch, 2019) Anjan, B.N.; Preetham Kumar, G.V.
    Zinc aluminum based matrix composites reinforced with SiC and Al2O3 particles have significant applications in the automobile field. Stir casting method followed by squeeze process was used for fabrication. ZA27 composites reinforced with SiC and Al2O3 particles (20-50µm) in various weight percentage (wt%) ranges from 0-10 in a step of 5 each was fabricated. OM, SEM and EDS analysis of microstructures obtained for matrix alloy and reinforced composites were performed in order to know the effect of varying wt% on physical and mechanical properties of composites. Squeeze casting technique shows better features such as fine microstructure as a result of low porosity and good bonding between matrix and reinforcement. Addition of reinforcements decreased the densities of matrix alloy. SiC reinforced composites showed better results as compared with Al2O3 reinforced ones. Hardness and ultimate tensile strength value of 10 wt% reinforced composites showed improved results. © 2019 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland.

    An investigation on effects of wire-EDT machining parameters on surface roughness of INCONEL 718
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2019) Naik, G.M.; Anjan, B.N.; Badiger, R.I.; Bellubbi, S.; Mishra, D.
    This paper studied the effects of machining parameters on surface roughness of wire EDT of INCONEL 718 super alloy. The investigated machining parameters were rotational speed, pulse-on time, pulse-off time, servo voltage, wire feed rate and flushing pressure. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique was used to find out the most significant parameters affecting the surface roughness. Results from ANOVA show that pulse-on time is significant variables to surface roughness of wire-EDT INCONEL 718 alloy. The surface roughness of the test specimen increased as these variables increased. Lastly, regression model was developed using a regression method to formulate the machining parameters to the surface roughness. The developed model was validated with an optimal setting parameters and the maximum prediction error of the model was less than 8%. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

    A study on dimensional analysis modeling of crater size during wire electrical discharge turning process by using Buckingham Pi theorem
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2022) Naik, G.M.; Hipparagi, M.A.; Bellubbi, S.; Roy, A.; Anjan, B.N.; Ramesh, S.; Narendranath, S.
    The investigation on material removal by thermal erosion of discrete spark and vaporization in wire electrical discharge turning process was made to understand the crater size variation on turned components. In this study the modelling is done to establish the relationship between dependent and independent variables through Buckingham's Pi-theorem, to predict the variations of crater diameter depending on physical and thermal properties, subsequently the dimensional model was validated by conducting experiments on wire-electrical discharge turning process for two distinct density variant materials such as Aluminium 6061 and INCONEL 718 super alloys. The density, enthalpy of vaporization, radius of spark, specific heat and other quantities effect on crater diameter have been discussed in this research paper. © 2022
