Nano-composites are the extensively used materials in the field of heat transfer and automobile because of their higher mechanical properties compared to conventional material. Present work focuses on the reinforced nano-composites effect on Aluminium matrix composites (AMC) solidification curves. Silicon carbide (SiC) and boron carbide (B4C) as nano-composites are considered with varying percentage weight up to 30 while Aluminium as a base material is considered. A mathematical model is developed to analyse the solidification curve governs by heat conduction equation using MATLAB. 800 s of end-time is considered for solidification of the AMC. Results indicate that the present model predict solidification curves accurately. The increment in nano-composites percentage weight shows steeper solidification curves indicating a lower solidification rate due to the thermal conductivity decrement. Al-SiC shows higher steeper curves compared to Al-B4C for all percentage weight considered due to less thermal conductivity. Difference between the melting point temperature and maximum temperature at the end of 800 s is found to be decreased with increment in the reinforcement percentage weight because of the decreased solidification rate. Both the thermal conductivity model shows the same solidification curves for all AMC compositions. |
