Abstract

In the present study, based on the literature review, the machining of hybrid Aluminium Metal Matrix composite (Al/SiC/Gr and Al/Si10Mg/Fly ash/Gr) is discussed. These hybrid MMCs can easily be machined by EDM and a good surface quality can be obtained by controlling the machining parameters. These Aluminium Metal Matrix composites with multiple reinforcements (hybrid MMCs) are finding increased applications because of improved mechanical and Tribological properties and hence are better substitutes for single reinforced composites. These materials are developed for bushes, bearings and cylinder liners in cast Aluminium engine blocks. The problems encountered during machining of hybrid MMCs and their amendments by the use of Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) are discussed.
