Abstract

With silicon particles reinforced aluminum matrix composites with high volume fraction becoming a new hotspot on research and application in the aerospace materials and electronic packaging materials, the machinability of this material needs to be explored. This paper reports research results obtained from the surface grinding experiment of silicon particles reinforced aluminum matrix composites using black silicon carbide wheel, green silicon carbide wheel, white fused alumina wheel and chromium alumina wheel. The issues discussed are grinding force, surface roughness, the comparison of different grinding wheels, the micro-morphology of the work piece. The results showed that the grinding force was related with the grinding depth and the grinding wheel material, the grinding force was increasing as the grinding depth growing. The surface roughness was between 0.29μm and 0.48μm using the silicon carbide wheel. The surface of the work piece had concaves caused by silicon particles shedding and grooves caused by the grains observed by the SEM and CLSM.
