MECHANICAL, MICROSTRUCTURE AND WEAR BEHAVIOUR OF LM25/SiC/MICA METAL MATRIX COMPOSITE FABRICATED BY SQUEEZE CASTING TECHNIQUE

MECHANICAL, MICROSTRUCTURE AND WEAR BEHAVIOUR OF LM25/SiC/MICA METAL MATRIX COMPOSITE FABRICATED BY SQUEEZE CASTING TECHNIQUE

Metal matrix composite (MMC) has a unique class of light weight advanced engineered materials which are developed to give high strength, improved hardness, tensile strength, good elongation and good resistance to wear and tear hence increases the durability. It has good machinability properties, so...
