Paper Title : Stir design to improve uniform distribution of composite materials in stir casting process
Author Name : Sahil Kumar Prajapati and Neeraj Kumar
Abstract :

In our research work the main objective is to improve uniform distribution by stirring reinforcements in the base metal (aluminium). This project deals with the stir design to improve uniform distribution of composite materials in stir casting process. To study this project the stir design is carried out in CREO 2.0. We have designed stir of graphite of helical shape. To get better results we designed helical shape stir. And we have also given thermal analysis of stir materials by ANSYS. By mixing reinforcement (5%) and base material with helical stir, it results silicon content in sample is 2.422% and aluminium is 95.18.

Keywords : Matrix metals, Reinforcement, Uniform distribution, Stirrer, High alumina bricks.
