8. Advantages
 High resistance to fatigue and corrosion.
 High resistance to impact damage.
 High strength or stiffness to weight ratio.
 Less inspections and structural repairs.
 Improved friction and wear properties.

9. Disadvantages
 High cost of raw materials and fabrication.
 Transverse properties may be weak.
 Analysis is difficult.
 Reuse and disposal may be difficult.
 Difficult to attach.

10. Machinability
 In general, machinability differs for each material.
 But it’s not a material constant.
 Machinability depends on machining conditions.
 It also depends on the physical and chemical
properties of work part.

11. Factors affecting machinability
 Forms of chip,
 Surface of machined part,
 Tool condition,
 And cutting forces.

12. Parameters of machinability
 Mechanical properties of work part,
 Cutting tool; material and geometry,
 Levels of process parameters,
 Machining environment; lubrication, etc.,
 Rigidity and stiffness of M/C,
 Type of machining operation.

13. Traditional machining
Milling
Turning
Grinding

14. Traditional machining
Drilling

15. Machining parameters
 Cutting speed,
 Cutting forces,
 Workpiece, and tool materials,
 Lubrication,
 Feed rate.

16. Samples preparation
 Al-Si alloy “piston alloy”(11.56% Si),
 Nickel micro particles,
 Al2O3 nano particles.

17. Samples preparation
 Melting of matrix alloy (at 700 °C).
 Preheating of reinforcing particles (at 400°C for 30
min).
 Mechanical stirring and squeeze casting.
