Investigation on the Effect of FGM Alloy on Cylinder Liner using Centrifugal Casting Technique

Abstract

In modern scenario due to rapid growth in the automotive sector there is huge demand for materials which are light in eight and display suitable mechanical properties and tribological characteristics. Conventional alloys and composites do not meet demands. Chief aim of research is to produce FGM by horizontal centrifugal casting under 600, 800 and 1000 rpm. The objective is to manufacture FGM cylinder liner by centrifugal casting technique through varying the speed of the mould. Later the specimens are prepared and are subjected for various tests like tensile test, wear test, hardness and microstructure study. It is observed that of liner prepared by 1000 rpm has been showing better properties.
