Mechanical characteristics evaluation of hollow shape part with metal matrix composites fabricated by thixoforging process

Thixoforming process has been accepted as a new method for fabricating the net shaped metal matrix composites (MMCs) with lightweight and wear resistance. In this paper, the effect of volume fraction and reinforcement sizes on mechanical properties in cylinder liner part of MMCs has been investigated with processes parameters such as pressure and velocity. Moreover, the methods to obtain the thixoforged composites cylinder liner with high quality has been proposed. To evaluate the composites cylinder linear fabricated at the conditions proposed, mechanical properties of fabricated composites cylinder linear were compared with those of commercial composites cylinder linear.
