Abstract
-
Aluminium alloy–SiC particle-reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) are used in many industries in different shapes through different machining processes. Therefore, the present study focuses on the comparative performance study of ball end and flat end milling on A356/SiC MMC.
-
Composite was prepared from A356 alloy powders (avg. size-50 µm) and SiC powders (avg. size-1 µm). MMC with 90 vol.% A356 alloy powder and 10 vol.% SiC powders were synthesized using vacuum hot pressing (VHP) process at 600 °C temperature with 25 MPa pressure. VHP is mainly used to achieve high densification with uniform distribution of reinforcement.

Both ball and flat end mill machining experiments were conducted as per Taguchi L9 array. Experiments were carried out by varying cutting speed (100, 150 and 200 m/min), feed (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mm/rev) and depth of cut (0.4, 0.7 and 1 mm) for both machining processes. From the experimental results, it is observed that the flat end mill gave more material removal rate (MRR) in cm3/min with low surface roughness (Ra) value than ball nose milling.
