| description | The global market for aluminum-based composites, widely used in manufacturing and construction, is expected to grow significantly. However, enhancing the cost-to-performance ratio is essential to improving their commercial viability. Efficient mixing plays a critical role in many industrial and chemical applications. Stir casting is the leading method for producing aluminum alloy matrix composites, but achieving a uniform particle distribution remains a significant challenge. In this study, the optimal stirrer design was identified using image processing techniques to analyze the distribution of ceramic grains. The stirrer that achieved the most uniform grain distribution was selected, eliminating the need for destructive testing. The mechanical properties of the final products validated the accuracy of the image analysis results. |
