Effectiveness of uncoated WC-Co and PCD inserts in end milling of aluminum silicon carbide (AlSiC)

Metal matrix composite (MMC) with silicon carbide (SiC) reinforcement in pure aluminum matrix have found wide application in the automotive industry, especially in fiber reinforced pistons and particle-strengthened brake discs. Silicon carbide (SiC) reinforcement provides improved mechanical propert...
