Investigation of physical, mechanical & wear behavior of aluminium composite carrying ceramic Boron carbide particles
Materials Today: Proceedings(2021)
Abstract
Light weighting is the biggest challenge over the next two decades to improve the fuel economy and meet the evolving demands. Material and technological advances account for most of the weight loss. Aluminium based metal matrix composites (Al-MMC's) are popular and represent more than three fourth of metal matrix composites (MMCs) produced annually because of the outstanding physical, mechanical and tribological characteristics. Development of lightweight aluminium-based composite (AlC) and to examine the influence of reinforcement on mechanical, physical & wear properties of AlC reinforced with Boron Carbide (B4C) is the main purpose of the current research. The produced AlC is of great significance because they display superior mechanical properties and better resistance to wear compared with the base traditional material (matrix 6061Al). The denouement of the experimental investigation discovered that the proposed composite with 8% of total B4C reinforcement material displays high hardness, high yield strength, relatively low density, and low specific wear rate. The equitable distribution of particles was also analyzed using SEM evaluation, with the findings indicating the consistent dissemination of ceramic B4C reinforcement particles in the base matrix alloy.
