Influence of HSS drill coatings on surface finish and cylindricity of AA6061/C/ZrO2 composite in CNC drilling operations under dry conditions Haja Syeddu Masooth P, Jayakumar V, Bharathiraja G, Keno Teshome Mekonnin Materials Research Express, 2024 This study aims to evaluate the effect of HSS drill tool coatings, namely single-layer TiN, single-layer AlCrN, and double-layer AlTiN + TiSiXN (Durana), on the surface roughness and cylindricity of AA6061 (90 wt%)/C (5 wt%)/ZrO2 (5 wt%) hybrid composite material processed by the stir casting method. The fabricated sample was examined for the uniform particle distribution of reinforcements using Scanning Electron Microscope. The drilling operation was carried out on the fabricated in a CNC machining center by setting the spindle speeds of 800, 1200, and 1600 rpm, depths of cut of 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mm, and feeds of 50, 100, and 150 mm/rev. An orthogonal array (L27) designed by Taguchi’s method was used as the design of the experiment for the optimization of the best cutting parameters and coating. Surface roughness and cylindricity errors were determined for the 27 experimental runs. Field emission scanning electron microscopic (FESEM) examination and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) were used to analyze the surface integrity and elemental composition, respectively. The results revealed that Durana had a significant effect on the surface substrate with minimum surface roughness (Ra) of 1.666 μm and obtained the minimum cylindricity error for the parameters of depth of cut 0.5 mm, spindle speed of 1200 and feed of 100 mm rev−1.
Analysis of wire-cut electric discharge machining behaviour of AA6061 / C / ZrO2 hybrid nano composites using Taguchi’s method Haja Syeddu Masooth P, Jayakumar V, G Bharathiraja, Kumaran Palani Materials Research Express, 2024 This study focuses on the optimization of wire-cut electric discharge machining (WEDM) process for hybrid metal matrix nanocomposites. AA6061 alloy reinforced with graphene (C) and zirconia (ZrO2) was fabricated through the stir casting method with ultrasonic assistance for three different weight proportions: 92% AA6061 / 3% C / 5% ZrO2, 87% AA6061 / 3% C / 10% ZrO2, and 82% AA6061 / 3% C / 15% ZrO2. Microstructural examination confirmed the uniform distribution of reinforcements in the matrix alloy. The fabricated composite was machined by WEDM using an L27 orthogonal array designed by Taguchi’s method. Four electrical control factors of pulse on-time, pulse off-time, wire feedrate and peak current were considered, along with one reinforcement factor and three output responses: kerf width, surface finish and material removal rate to analyse the machining behaviour. Analysis of Variance was performed to determine the significant parameters. The results revealed that the most significant factor is pulse on-time among the five different factors. Optimized parameters were identified and examined through confirmation experiments resulting in improved machining characteristics.
Investigations on mechanical and wear behaviour of graphene and zirconia reinforced AA6061 hybrid nanocomposites using ANN and Sugeno-type fuzzy inference systems Haja Syeddu Masooth P, Jayakumar V, G Bharathiraja, Kumaran Palani Materials Research Express, 2022 This research work investigates the mechanical and wear behaviour of graphene (C) and zirconium di-oxide (ZrO2) reinforced Aluminium alloy 6061 hybrid nano composites (AMMHNCs) fabricated by ultrasonic-assisted stir casting method. Graphene and ZrO2 are selected as reinforcements for increasing the wear resistance and hardness of the base alloy AA6061. The mixing proportions of graphene and ZrO2 reinforced with AA6061 in weight are 100% AA6061/0% Graphene/0% ZrO2, 98.5% AA6061/0.5% Graphene/1% ZrO2, 97.5% AA6061/0.5% Graphene/2% ZrO2, 98% AA6061/1% Graphene/1% ZrO2, 97% AA6061/1% Graphene/2% ZrO2. Microstructural study was carried out using optical and scanning electron microscopic images to analyse the dispersion of reinforcements in the composite. The results shown that, ultrasonic-assisted stir casting method improves the uniformity in dispersion of reinforcements. The hardness, tensile, impact and wear test were carried out based on ASTM standards to analyse the properties in the proposed composite specimens. It was observed that, the hardness, tensile strength and impact strength are increases by 21.88%, 69.42% and 78.57% respectively and percentage elongation is decreased by 63.52% with the increase of reinforcements. Wear resistance increases with the increase of reinforcements. In order to analyse the wear behaviour originality of new composite under wear test parameters, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Artificial Neuro Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) models were used to predict the wear rate for experimented and non-experimented parameters. The prediction analysis was useful in studying the wear behaviour of the composite. Comparative analysis for ANN and ANFIS was performed and the results shown that, ANFIS model predicted with accuracy of R2 with 99.9%.
Analysis of machining characteristics in electrical discharge machining of SiC and Al2O3reinforced AA6061 hybrid metal matrix composites using Taguchi and ANOVA techniques P Haja Syeddu Masooth, G Bharathiraja, V Jayakumar, Kumaran Palani Materials Research Express, 2022 In this study, the machining behaviour of aluminium alloy (AA6061)/10% aluminium oxide (Al2O3)/10% silicon carbide (SiC) hybrid metal matrix composites was analyzed by Electric Discharge Machining (EDM). The stir casting method was used to fabricate the composite in a volume percentage of 80, 10, and 10 for AA6061, Al2O3 and SiC, respectively. The specimen was prepared in the size of 30 mm in diameter and 12 mm in thickness from the fabricated composite by the Wire-cut Electric Discharge Machining (WEDM) process. The fabricated specimens were machined using EDM by varying the input parameters of pulse-ON time (T–ON) in μs, pulse-OFF time (T–OFF) in μs, and gap current (GC) in amps at three different levels. The design of the experiment by the Taguchi method was used with the L9 orthogonal array. The impact of process parameters on output variables such as Surface Roughness (SR), Machining Time (MT) and Material Removal Rate (MRR) was studied, and an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was carried out to identify the most influencing parameter. The GC is observed as the significant input parameter on SR and MT as the percentage contribution of 33% and 47%, respectively. T–ON is identified as more significant than other parameters on MRR as the percentage contribution is 47%. The results show that T–ON time of 12 μs, T–OFF time of 4 μs, and GC of 14 amps yield the least value of 3.304 μm for SR, 12 min for MT, and a higher value of 0.037 mm3 min−1 for MRR.
Microstructure and mechanical characterisation of ZrO2reinforced Ti6Al4V metal matrix composites by powder metallurgy method P Haja Syeddu Masooth, G Bharathiraja, V Jayakumar, Kumaran Palani Materials Research Express, 2022 This study investigated the mechanical and microstructural properties of ZrO2 reinforced titanium metal matrix composites (TMMCs) fabricated using powder metallurgy. The base matrix of the Ti6Al4V alloy was reinforced with ZrO2 at mixing proportions of different wt percentage points at 0, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Microstructure evaluation was carried out to study the bonding characteristics of the matrix and reinforcement, and it was confirmed that the reinforcement was homogenously mixed with the base matrix. The objective is to study the effect of zirconia on mechanical properties such as hardness, compression strength and thermal expansion coefficiency of Ti6Al4V alloy. The hardness, compression strength, and shrinkage rate are increased with the increase of ZrO2. Finally, it was observed that, 6 wt percentage of ZrO2 reinforced composite showed better characteristics in that the hardness and compression strength were the highest among all the proportions used and the coefficient of thermal expansion was low. Due to these promising results, the fabricated ZrO2 reinforced Ti6Al4V composite can be a potential material for structural, aerospace and automotive applications.
