  • Investigating the Impact of Parameters on Electrical Discharge Treatment of ZE41A Magnesium Alloy Utilizing a WC/Ni Powder Composite Electrode
    P. Senthil Kumar, U. Elaiyarasan, V. Satheeshkumar, C. Senthil Kumar
    Advances in Composite and Advanced Materials Machining, 2025
    In this study, an electro discharge deposition technique was used to create a coating on a ZE41A-T5 magnesium alloy using a compact electrode made of Tungsten Carbide/Nickel powder. EDM oil served as the dielectric medium in the experiments. Key response variables, including electrode wear rate (EWR) and deposition rate (DR), were influenced by factors such as discharge current, pulse-on time, and compaction load. The microhardness of the coating was measured using Vickers hardness testing. Mathematical models were developed to assess the effects of these control factors on the responses. Results indicated that DR and EWR increased with higher current and pulse-on time at low electrode loads, while they decreased at higher loads. The maximum DR and EWR were achieved at 150 MPa, 4 A, and 90 µs. Coatings produced at a compaction load of 150 MPa showed the highest hardness values, reaching 772 HV. The coating’s microstructure and elemental composition were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy.
  • Development Of Al/SIC Metal Matrix Composite by Using Stir Casting Method
    Senthil Kumar, Ambigalla Reema, Venkatesh Kumar
    Aip Conference Proceedings, 2024
    The "Composite material" is composed of a discrete reinforcement and Distributed in a continuous phase of matrix, In Aluminium matrix composite (AMC) one constitutes is Aluminium which forms network that is matrix phase and another constitute serve as reinforcement which is generally ceramic or nonmetallic hard material. The basic reason of metals reinforced with hard ceramic particles or fibres is to improve the properties than its original material properties like strength, hardness etc. Stir casting process is mainly used for manufacturing of Particulate Reinforced Metal Matrix composite (PMMC). Manufacturing of aluminium alloy-based Casting Composite by stir casting is one of the most economical methods of processing MMC. Properties of these materials depend upon many processing parameters and selection of matrix and reinforcements. This project presents an overview of stir casting process, process parameter and preparation of AMC material by using LM 25 Aluminium as matrix form and SiC as reinforcement by varying its proportions.
  • Characterization of Al/SiC and Al/TiB2 Metal Matrix Composites
    Senthil Kumar, Ambigalla Reema, Padma Rao
    Aip Conference Proceedings, 2024
    Aluminium metal matrix composite made their impression in various applications because of their higher mechanical and physical properties along with high strength to weight ratio. The Al LM-25 weight percentage of SiC Metal Matrix Composite is fabricated by using a stir casting method. Effect of SiC reinforcement in AL LM-25 alloy particularly mechanical properties like hardness test, tensile strength test, impact test, density index test, metallographic studies are carried out at various reinforcement of Sic with 3%, 6% and 9% variations in weight percentage are considered for experimental analysis. The integration of both materials can offer excellent characteristics compared to the material individually considered along with Al alloys. Main aim is to carried out the difference between aluminium with TiB2 and aluminium with SiC at 9% weight percentage.

    The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and cold metal transfer arc welding (CMTAW) processes on microstructure and mechanical properties of AA8011-H18 aluminum alloy joints. The AA8011-H18 alloy sheets of thickness 3 mm were welded in butt joint configuration using conventional GMAW and CMTAW processes. The optical microscopy was employed for analyzing the microstructure of weld metal (WM) and heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the developed joints. The tensile properties and hardness of welded joints were evaluated using universal testing machine (UTM) and Vickers microhardness testing machine. The GMAW and CMTAW joints disclosed the joint efficiency of 58.33 % and 75.98 %, respectively. The CMTAW joints showed 30.25 % and 27.28 % improvement in tensile and yield strength compared to GMAW joints. However, there is a loss of 20 % ductility in CMTAW joints compared to GMAW joints. The superior tensile strength of CMTAW joints is correlated to microstructural refinement of WM and reduced grain growth in HAZ. It alludes to the wire retraction mechanism, which help to regulate the droplet transfer and lower the heat input.

  • Potentiodynamic Corrosion Behavior and Microstructural Characteristics of Pulsed CMT-Welded AA2014-T6 Aluminium Alloy Joints: Effect of PWHT
    A. Padma Rao, Manzoor Hadi, C. Rajendran, Sonar Tushar, Mikhail Ivanov, P. Senthil Kumar, V. Murali Krishna
    Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022
    AA2014-T6 is an Al-Cu-Mg-based precipitation-hardened aluminium alloy widely used in aerospace due to its high strength to weight ratio. This alloy is joined by a pulsed cold metal transfer (PCMT) arc welding process to overcome the high heat input related problems in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) such as a coarser dendritic structure in the fusion zone (FZ), wider heat affected zone (HAZ), solidification and HAZ liquation cracking, softening in HAZ, and poor corrosion resistance of welded joints in salt environment. The joints were subjected to PWHT of artificial aging (AA), solution treatment (ST), and solution treatment + aging (STA) conditions. The corrosion rate was determined using a potentiodynamic corrosion test in a solution of 3.56 wt.% NaCl with pH values of 4, 7, and 11. Results disclosed that the PCMT joints subjected to the potentiodynamic corrosion test in NaCl solution of pH-4, pH-7, and pH-11 disclosed very low, moderate, and extremely high pitting corrosion, respectively. The corrosion resistance of ST joints was improved by 53.34%, 15%, and 15.12% in pH-4, pH-7, and pH-11 NaCl solution compared to as-welded joints. The pitting potential of ST joints is comparable to BM. The BM showed the pitting potential of −175, −450, and −550 mV in pH-4, pH-7, and pH-11 NaCl solution. The ST joints showed 75.29%, 29.16%, and 27.85% lower corrosion potential compared to STA joints in pH-4, pH-7, and pH-11 NaCl solution, respectively. The ST joints disclosed the lower pitting potential of −105, −425, and −505 mV in pH-4, pH-7, and pH-11 NaCl solution, respectively, whereas the STA joints revealed greater pitting potential of −425, −600, and −700 mV in pH-4, pH-7, and pH-11 NaCl solution, respectively. The superior corrosion resistance of ST joints compared to AA and STA joints is attributed to the dissolution of precipitates in Al solid solution resulting in a lower potential difference in FZ. This minimizes the preferential sites for pitting corrosion to occur.
  • Analyzing the Cooling Rate and Its Effect on Distribution of Pattern and Size of the Titanium Diboride Particles Formed
    P. Senthil Kumar, Pon Selvan Chithirai, D. Antony Prabu, G. Surya Prakash, V. Murali Krishna, Jemal Yimer Mohammed
    Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2021
    In this work, we synthesize Al/TiB2 metal matrix composites (MMC) based on the effect of cooling rate in the melt while pouring into the permanent mold condition. The objective of this paper is to achieve the desired distribution pattern and increased TiB2 particles’ size in the Al/TiB2 MMC ingot. Two halide salts, viz., potassium hexafluorotitanate (K2TiF6) and potassium tetrafluoroborate (KBF4), are procured and measured. The two salts were mixed with the aluminium melt in the crucible, and it is stirred manually with help of a graphite rod. Because of the exothermic reaction, the melt reacts very quickly and that is what dropped the salts slowly. The salt particles were synthesized because of the exothermic reaction, and it will allow the particles to grow. The size and distribution of particles differ at different place in the MMC. An FEA tool ProCAST was used to analyze the cooling rate of the melt, and SEM is used to study the microstructure of the ingot at different places. The microstructures helped to identify the size of reinforcement in the MMC. The TiB2 particles are distributed more at this location at 810°C, and the TiB2 particles formed various clusters in this zone as 70%–80%. Also, the tribological characteristics are analyzed with the help of the results.
