INFLUENCE OF AGEING BEHAVIOR ON HARDNESS OF SQUEEZE CAST AL 8011 WITH 2.5%TIC COMPOSITES USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK
Keywords:
Precipitation hardening, squeeze casting, Aritificial neural networkAbstract
In this work, the effect of precipitation hardening on hardness of Al 8011 reinforced with 2.5 % TiC composites have been investigated. The composites are fabricated by employing squeeze cast process; it is the combination of both casting and forging processes that can be done under high pressure. Since it results in negligible porosity, refined grain structure and high quality cast composites. The precipitation hardening process was carried out within a temperature range of 130 - 210°C for the time interval of 1-8 hours. Hardness was recorded closely to monitor the age of hardening effect and ANN is employed ascertain the optimum hardness using ANN as a tool
