INTRODUCTION

Squeeze casting, also known as liquid metal forging,

is a combination of casting and forging process.

The molten metal is poured into the bottom half of the

pre-heated die. As the metal starts solidifying, the upper half closes

the die and applies pressure during the solidification

process.

Both ferrous and non-ferrous materials can be

produced using this method.

MATERIALS

ALUMINIUM:

Aluminium is a very light metal with a specific weight of 2.7

g/cm. For example, the use of aluminium in vehicles reduces dead-

weight and energy consumption while increasing load capacity. Its

strength can be adapted to the application required by modifying the

composition of its alloys.

STEEL:

Steel is a common material for building and forming. It makes

up the frames of cars, and it's used to make a variety of machine parts.However, steel comes in a number of varieties, and one of these types

is called low-carbon steel, which has different properties than those of

other types of steel.

Effect of squeeze casting parameters on the

mechanical properties of AZ91Ca Mg alloys.

A study on the effect of squeeze casting parameterson the mechanical properties of AZ91 Mg alloy with

2 wt.% Ca incorporated was conducted.

A good combination of tensile and macro hardness

properties was obtained with better mechanical

properties.

The effect of applied pressure on fracture surface andtensile properties of nickel coated continuous carbon

fiber reinforced aluminum composites fabricated by

squeeze casting.

Reinforcing aluminum with carbon fibers, offers a

high potential for increasing the specific strength and

specific youngs modulus of these types of

composites. Therefore, carbon fiber reinforced

aluminum components are of great interest for the

potential aerospace and automotive applications.

Effect of wt% reinforcement on microstructure and mechanicalproperties of Al2Mg base short steel fiber composites.

Al2Mg alloy composites with varying wt% of copper-coated

short steel fiber reinforced were prepared through liquid

process vortex method. Steel fibers were coated with copperby electroless deposition method. It is observed that density,

hardness and porosity increased with increasing wt% of fibers.

There is a significant improvement in strength and hardness

with addition of fibers.
