Engineering of aluminium matrix composite(AMC)reinforcement organoclay based on hotpress method using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system(ANFIS)

摘要

Aluminum Matrix Composite(AMC)reinforced organoclay is a widely used material in automotive where there is a significant increase in mechanical strength,especially if reinforced nano-sized particles.This study aims to obtain AMC with a variation of composition 1-3% wt organoclay.The method used in this research is Hotpress.Testing(characterisation)use XRD,Optical Microscope Hardness Tester.Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy inference system(ANFIS)model can forecast density and Microhardness of AMC.The pressure used is 137.8951458634 MPa,and the temperature is varied from 490°C-600°C with a holding time of 3 hours.Testing(characterisation)is carried out using XRD,Optical Microscope,Hardness Tester,Ultrasonic testing.The results showed that the hardness increased from 15 HVN to 197 HVN.The mass density increases,and reaches optimal at a composition of 550°C with the addition of 1% by weight of organoclay,the microstructure shows AMC formed which is shown in grey and increasing hardness and density indicated by black(porosity).
