| description | The design of metal matrix composites can be enhanced by integrating the concept of functionally graded materials (FGM) to produce engineering materials with tailored contradictory properties that suit multifunctioning components. The present investigation focuses on characterization of functionally graded metal matrix composites (FGMMCs) based on pure aluminium matrix reinforced with different percentages and sizes of SiC particles. The investigated FGMs have been produced by horizontal centrifugal casting process under different conditions. Microstructure investigation, tensile, hardness and wear rate measurements have been correlated with the size and percentage of SiC particles and their distribution/gradient across the thickness of the cast tubes resulting from the used casting parameters. Keywords: Metal matrix composites (MMC), Functionally graded materials (FGM), Centrifugal casting, Aluminium, Silicon carbide, Wear resistance |
