Wire Mesh/Ceramic Particle Reinforced Aluminium Based Composite Using Explosive Cladding

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, dissimilar grade aluminium plates were explosively cladded by placing a wire mesh/ceramic particle between them. The stainless steel 316 mesh with 90o orientation and SiCp (1.5 volume %) are employed to enhance the mechanical properties of the aluminium composites. Microhardness and microstructure of the explosively cladded composite materials were evaluated. Significant improvement in the microhardness of the wire mesh/ceramic particle reinforced aluminium composite is established.
