Abstract

The aluminum-based composites (AMCs) are known for a variety of functions like building, aerospace, automotive, marine, and aeronautical applications. In this research, Al-4032 alloy-based 6% SiC (by weight) composite has been fabricated using stir casting and the effects of prominent machining parameters on energy consumption and surface finish have been examined using carbide inserts in turning. Microstructures of as-cast specimens has been analyzed using the optical microscope, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The CNC turning has been performed at varying machining parameters like cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut, following an RSM-based design matrix. The desirability function approach has been employed to obtain the best combination of parameters for achieving the desired objectives. The experimental outcome demonstrates that the machined composite is considerably influenced by built-up edge (BUE) formation and interfacial bonding of particles. The result establishes that the inclusion of SiC in the Al-4032 matrix demonstrates improved mechanical properties and superior machined surface with the optimized turning operation.
