Age hardening process modeling and optimization of aluminum alloy A356/Cow horn particulate composite for brake drum application using RSM, ANN and simulated annealing

Most conventional ceramic based aluminum metal matrix composites (MMCs) are either heavy, costly or combination of both. In order to reduce cost and weight, while at the same time maintaining quality, cow horn particles (CHp) was used with aluminum alloy A356 to produce MMC for brake drum applicatio...
