Abstract

Thixotropic machining was demonstrated for the shaping of an aluminium-matrix particulate composite. The process involved deforming the remelted composite in a thixotropic state and releasing the applied stress while the composite was still in that state. However, the process-induced cracking was particularly severe when the cutting tool tended to adhere to the thixotropic composite.
