Metallurgical and formability investigations on Al 8011 alloy upon form drilling

Abstract

The investigation of microstructural analysis is very critical in knowing the metallurgical properties of any material in the field of material science engineering. The objective of the work is to draw the information about the influence of process parameters on microstructure of Al 8011. Form drilling is a method of machining in which no chips are formed and performed by the combined action of force and thermal energy. The journal covers the microstructural variations of Al 8011 alloy upon performing the form drilling by varying process parameters. Scanning electron microscope analysis was performed after form drilling of parent material Al 8011 and formability of the material is analyzed using petal formation.
