STUDY OF DIFFERENT MACHINING PROCESS ON METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES

Abstract

The use of Metal Matrix Composite is increasing day by day, because of having superior physical and mechanical properties. The main problem is to regulate their cost while maintaining their features as light weight, high strength, toughness etc. The objective of this sort of research is to find out the influence of machining factors like orientation of particles, tool wear, morphology of chip, surface finish, cutting speed of tool etc through conventional and non-conventional machining process. And then final results should be examined so as to modify their uses in different applications. As per the type of reinforcements in Metal Matrix Composite, different machining techniques should be performed to improvise their performance.
