Abstract:Metal matrix composites (MMC) provide enhanced properties and hence have been used for various applications. Metal matrix composites can be produced by various manufacturing processes such as casting, injection molding, and additive manufacturing. The MMC parts produced by these primary processes often need to be machined to achieve desired geometry, tolerance, and surface finish. This talk will cover three aspects pertaining to manufacturing of MMC parts. First, it will show how MMC parts can be produced by additive manufacturing, particularly to produce functionally gradient structure and control the resultant microstructure and mechanical properties. Second, the prediction of MMC machining process and subsurface damage is shown through the multiscale models we have been developing over the years.   Laser-assisted machining is shown as an effective way of improving machinability and subsurface damage. The corresponding modeling results are shown to give the further insight into the underlying physics and help the optimization of machining processes. Finally, a new computationally efficient multiscale modeling method to predict mechanical properties is shown.
