Unusual Homogenous Dual Permeation Feeding In Squeeze Casting To Produce Quality Composites for Marine Applications

Abstract This research effort seeks to examine corrosion, tribological, and mechanical properties of Enhanced Composites made of Aluminium Matrix produced using a new blended dual permeation feeding in squeeze casting route. Squeeze casting's key problems are conglomeration and non-uniform diffusion of reinforcing particles that also ultimately resulted in poor quality composites. This could hinder the composite's effectiveness on key target properties. To mitigate this, an innovative blended feeding was initially attempted to accomplish homogenous distribution, which was successful with subsequent attempts. To produce improved aluminium composite materials with different volume fractions (0%, 3%, 6%, and 9%), AA 6061 was used as the metal matrix and Nano molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) as the reinforcement companion. The high-quality composites have been manufactured for identification using various tests like SEM, EDAX, and Salt Spray.
