2- Dimension Computational Analysis of FGM Coatings

High-Level Project Summary

Development of FGM coating using HVOF on cast iron and steel substrate for cylinder liners of internal combustion engines to characterize the developed coatings using techniques like Optical microscopy and Hardness test. We had selected these three materials for coating i.e. firstly WC+Co , secondly, the coating material is WC+Co+Cr, and the third coating material is Ni+Al.After that, we'll do the coating process using simulation modeling, and then representing the design using 2D, 3D tools to develop the virtual model. After that, we perform finite element analysis, review results, and make engineering judgments based on results.

Detailed Project Description

  • Work and Functions
  1. Optimize geometry for weight and strength.
  2. Select materials that meet weight, strength, and budget requirements.
  3. Simulate part failure and identify the loading conditions that cause them.
  4. Assess extreme environmental conditions or loads not easily tested on physical prototypes, such as earthquake shock load.
  5. Verify hand calculations.
  6. Validate the likely safety and survival of a physical prototype before simulation modeling follows a process much like this.


After all the processes, we have done the final modeling and simulation, along with temperature distribution and heat-flux distribution.


  • Benefits of this project


  • FGM processes are manual, so it needs improvements to make it full automation so as to

improve the overall performance of the process, reduce the cost and improve the

reliability.

  • Most of the researches has focused on the properties of FGM without taking into account

the environmental effect (deformation, temperature, etc.). Moreover, few researchers

discussed only the simple cases, like the transverse shear or the transverse normal

deformation. The real situation, however, is usually a complex case. -e more general and

complex cases should be concerned as well.

  • Although numerous applications of FGM exist in aerospace, defense, nuclear,

automobile, and other industries, FGM has a vital role in the medical field as well.

Keeping awake glance of this noble application for the betterment of human beings, more

in-depth investigation needs to be done on FGM with respect to Advances in Materials.

Science and Engineering to health care such as bone implantation, dentistry, etc.
