DAMPING BEHAVIOR IN MICROWAVE-ASSISTED SINTERED AL/SiC COMPOSITES

By KARE DORATHI and NARKEDAMILLI TULASI RADHA

High damping materials with the ability to dissipate mechanical vibration are desirable in structural applications such as submarine propellers and aerospace structures. As a result, in the current situation, finding a material with good mechanical and damping properties is a major challenge. Powder metallurgy is found to be desirable for the fabrication of Al/SiC (Aluminium-silicon carbide) composites as it ensures uniform crystalline distribution, controls interface kinetics, and works indeterminately even at low temperatures. The present research work involves the fabrication of Al/SiC metal matrix composites with different SiC reinforcement compositions, i.e. 5, 10, and 15 wt. % through powder metallurgy method. The fabricated Al/SiC composites are sintered using microwave technique. The microwave sintered Al/SiC metal matrix composites were thoroughly investigated.
