Microstructure Study of Microwave Sintered Aluminium Titanium Dioxide Metal Matrix Composites

Author : Sarwar GhouseMastan 1 Doddaswamy V 2

Date of Publication :20th August 2021

Abstract: Aluminium metal matrix composites have many beneficial characteristics like light weight, high strength, stiffness and exhibit greater resistance to corrosion, oxidation, wear and having high damping capacity.In addition to base metal, the characteristics of reinforcing particles also play an important role in controlling the strength and hardness of metal matrix composite. The characteristic of metal matrix composites depends on the size, shape and volume percentage of reinforcement material and also depends on processing techniques. In the present work powder metallurgy technique is adopted to produce the composites due to its uniform distribution of reinforcing particle.Sintering plays a major role in the outcome of powder metallurgy composites. Microwave technology is adopted in present work to sinter the composites. Investigation is carried out on TiO2 particles reinforced with aluminium and were prepared using powder metallurgy technique with various weight percentage combinations of TiO2 particles 10% by wt., 15% by wt. and 20% by wt., Compaction loads and microstructure were studied in the investigation.
