Abstract
Aluminium matrix composites AMCs now hold a significant share of raw materials in many applications It is of prime importance to study the machinability of such composites so as to enhance their applicability Sufficient work has been done for studying the machining of AMCs with particle reinforcements of micron range This paper presents the study of AMCs with particle reinforcement of under micron range ie nanoparticles This paper brings out the results of an experimental investigation of type and weight percent of nanoparticles on the tangential cutting force during turning operation SiC Gr and SiCGr in equal proportions were used with Al6061 alloy as the matrix phase The results indicate that composites with SiC require greater cutting force followed by hybrid and then Gr Increase in the weight percent also significantly affected the magnitude of cutting force RSM was used first to design and analyze the experiments and then to optimize the turning process and obtain optimal conditions of weight and type of reinforcements for turning operationDevinder Priyadarshi started his career as a faculty in Mechanical Engineering in the year 2002 and is currently rendering his services to DAV Institute of engineering and technology Jalandhar His current research area is fabrication and performance analysis of aluminium matrix nanocompositesRajesh Kumar Sharma is presently an associate professor and has been into academics for more than 20 years After completing PhD he has started research activities in areas related to Tribology Design and Manufacturing Composites Numerical simulation of fluid film bearings He has published more than 30 papers in international journals of repute
