ON THE SOLIDIFICATION CHARACTERISTICS AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ALUMINUM ALLOY AA 6061/Al2O3-SiCP COMPOSITE PRODUCED BY HIGH PRESSURE DIE CASTING

The effectiveness of the high pressure die casting (HPDC) process in facilitating a controlled solidification mechanism during the fabrication of hybrid (Al2O3-SiCp) reinforced aluminum alloy composite is investigated. The aluminum matrix composite was synthesized with 5%, 10% and 20% volume fractio...
