DEVELOPMENT OF ALUMINIUM METAL MATRIX COMPOSITE FOR PRODUCTION OF CENTRIFUGAL PUMP IMPELLER

This study aimed to develop an Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite (AMMC) reinforced with Silicon Carbide particulate (SiC) and Iron oxide (Fe2O3) for centrifugal pump impellers and related components. Using a laboratory-scale stir casting process, we created a composite material denoted as Al-8%SiC+6%F...
