Abstract

Workability is concerned with the scope to which a material can be deformed in a specific metalworking process without the initiation of cracks. The ductile fracture of components is the most common mode of cracks in any metalworking processes. Workability is the complex technological concept, depends upon the ductility of the material and the details of the process parameters. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the workability behaviour of the Al-SiC during cold upsetting. In the present study three types of sintering temperature and time have been considered to evaluate the effect of P/M preforms of Al-SiC composite on workability studies. The material studied in this paper is Aluminium with SiC reinforcement. SiC content has been varied from 0 to 20 percent. The experimental results were analyzed for workability under triaxial stress state condition as a function of the relative density. The formability stress index (Bo) and stress ratio parameters namely /eff was obtained. These phenomena have shown tremendous variations for different kind of sintering temperature and time-
