INTRODUCTION

Squeeze casting, also known as liquid metal forging,

is a combination of casting and forging process.
The molten metal is poured into the bottom half of the
pre-heated die.
As the metal starts solidifying, the upper half closes
the die and applies pressure during the solidification
process.
Both ferrous and non-ferrous materials can be
produced using this method.
MATERIALS
ALUMINIUM:
Aluminium is a very light metal with a specific weight of 2.7
g/cm. For example, the use of aluminium in vehicles reduces dead-
weight and energy consumption while increasing load capacity. Its
strength can be adapted to the application required by modifying the
composition of its alloys.
STEEL:
Steel is a common material for building and forming. It makes
up the frames of cars, and it's used to make a variety of machine parts.
However, steel comes in a number of varieties, and one of these types
is called low-carbon steel, which has different properties than those of
other types of steel.

Effect of squeeze casting parameters on the
mechanical properties of AZ91Ca Mg alloys.
A study on the effect of squeeze casting parameters
on the mechanical properties of AZ91 Mg alloy with
2 wt.% Ca incorporated was conducted.
A good combination of tensile and macro hardness
properties was obtained with better mechanical
properties.

The effect of applied pressure on fracture surface and
tensile properties of nickel coated continuous carbon
fiber reinforced aluminum composites fabricated by
squeeze casting.
Reinforcing aluminum with carbon fibers, offers a
high potential for increasing the specific strength and
specific youngs modulus of these types of
composites. Therefore, carbon fiber reinforced
aluminum components are of great interest for the
potential aerospace and automotive applications.

Effect of wt% reinforcement on microstructure and mechanical
properties of Al2Mg base short steel fiber composites.
Al2Mg alloy composites with varying wt% of copper-coated
short steel fiber reinforced were prepared through liquid
process vortex method. Steel fibers were coated with copper
by electroless deposition method. It is observed that density,
hardness and porosity increased with increasing wt% of fibers.
There is a significant improvement in strength and hardness
with addition of fibers.

Friction and wear properties of short carbon fiber
reinforced aluminum matrix composites.
The friction and wear properties of short carbon
fibers (SCFs) reinforced aluminum matrix composite
were studied.
The incorporation of SCF in Al alloy improved the
wear resistance greatly.
