Abstract

In this study, the machinability of hybrid metal matrix composite (MMC) materials were investigated. Experiments were carried out on a CNC lathe using aluminium 1070 matrix SiC and B4C reinforced MMC materials without cooling fluid. The effect of cutting parameters and MMC reinforcement ratios on working has been examined. It has been tried to determine the optimum reinforcement ratio and cutting parameters in the machining process of hybrid reinforced MMC materials. As a result of this study, it was tried to contribute to the industrial area by determining the most suitable cutting parameters for Al1070 matrix SiC and B4C hybrid reinforced MMC materials.

Alüminyum (Al1070) Matris Silisyum Karbür (SiC) ve Bor Karbür (B4C) Takviyeli Hibrit Kompozit Malzemelerin İşlenebilirliğinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada hibrit metal matrisli kompozit (MMK) malzemelerin işlenebilirliği incelenmiştir. Çalışma kesme sıvısının kullanılmadığı atmosferde gerçekleştirilmiş ve alüminyum 1070 matris SiC ve B4C takviyeli MMC malzemeleri kullanılarak, CNC tornalama tezgahında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada hibrit takviyeli MMK malzemelerin talaşlı imalat sürecinde optimum takviye oranı ve kesme parametreleri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Buna ek olarak kesme parametrelerinin ve MMK malzemesi takviye oranlarının işlenebilirliğe etkisi incelenmiştir. Bu çalışma sonucunda Al1070 matrisli SiC ve B4C hybrid takviyeli MMK malzemeleri için en uygun kesme parametreleri belirlenerek endüstriyel alana katkı sağlanmaya çalışılmıştır.
