MAGNESIUM AND ALUMINIUM STIR CASTING SETUP

Magnesium and Aluminium Stir Casting with Squeeze, Gravity and Vacuum assisted casting setup

Description:

Magnesium and aluminium stir casting is mainly used to produce metal matrix composites, with matrix metals melting temperature below the melting point of aluminium and magnesium.

Research activities:

Squeeze casting is mainly used to eliminate porosities and shrinkages caused by the gases.

The mechanical properties of the cast product are increased using squeeze casting. Vacuum casting is used to improve the overall metal casting soundness. The molten metal is drawn into the cavity from below the surface which avoids the

inclusion of slag.

PIN ON DISC WEAR MEASURING MACHINE WITH DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM

Pin on disc wear measuring machine with data acquisition system

Description:

Pin on disc wear measuring machine is used to test the wear rate of different materials and dynamic frictional force between the wear materials.

Research activities

Evaluation of wear resistance of bio-materials and coatings.

Wear and friction properties of bulk materials and composites.

Tribological tests on polymers, soft materials and coatings in lubricated, un-lubricated and corrosive conditions.

Product development and quality control of surface engineered products.
