In the present work, the wear rate and hardness of recycled Aluminum alloy based metal matrix composite that reinforced with nano Boron Nitride with (2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) weight percentage with 33 nm particle size were evaluated. A stir casting process was applied to fabricate composite the mechanical and metallurgical characteristics of the fabricated composite were evaluated through the hardness and wear test. The results indicate that the value of hardness increased and wear rate decreased with increasing the BN percentage due to high surface area to weight ratio for nanoparticles.
In this work, nanosized Boron nitride and silicon carbide reinforced ZA - 12 matrix hybrid composites were produced using stir casting technique with using of aluminum scrap (AA 2024), pure Al (electrical wires) and zinc scraps. Microstructure Observation was revealed by using scanning electron microscopy, and the analysis showed a uniform distribution of (SiC and BN) hybrid nanoparticles for the Zn-Al matrix. Also, an optical microscope was used to display the dendritic structure and reinforcement particles that dispersed uniformly in the matrix. Mechanical tests results confirmed that the hardness and the compression was increased with increasing the hybrid nanoparticle's percentage, whereas the wear rate decreased as the reinforcing materials increased. Since nanoparticles restrict dislocation movement, the mechanical properties are enhanced. The improvement ratio in hardness after addition was 26%., and in wear rate was 24% and for the compression strength the improvement was (19%).
In this research stir casting technique is used to produce (ZA-27)alloy hybrid composites reinforced by nano particles (BN and Si3N4) with various weight percentage.The wear test were used pin on disk for both (ZA-27) alloy and all composites.The results indicate that the value of hardness increased with increasing the additives of nano (BN and Si3N4) percentage for ZA-27 hybrid metal matrix composites. It was found that the nano particles play an important role in improving the wear properties of alloys. Since nano particles impede dislocations movement, causing enhancement in the mechanical properties.
The effect of introducing Al2O3 and CuO nano particles on the physical properties of sintered TiC based materials has been studied. Titanium and carbon elemental powders have been mixed with nanoparticles of Al2O3 and CuO to produce composites of Ti-C/ceramics at 1100 °C. The XRD results show that for different amount of mixed nanoparticles, TiC, TiO2, and some rest of the reacted powders are the most dominant stable phases. In terms of physical properties, the results show that the raised Al2O3 percentage leads to gradually increase in apparent density of the sintered mixture as compared with the purely prepared TiC. Moreover, porosity and water absorption decrease with increasing Al2O3 percentage. On the other side, adding CuO to the sintered mixture causes in decreasing the apparent density. Furthermore, it was observed that CuO creates much porosity and increase water absorption of the sintered mixture.
The goal is to contribute towards well understanding the solid state reaction between TiC base ceramic and nano additives. A mixture of elemental powders of Ti and Graphite doped with a range of ceramic nano additives of each Al 2 O 3 and CuO was pressed and heated up to 1100 °C. Phase evolution was then investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Differential thermal analysis (DTA). TiC is identified to be the most dominant phase through the reaction between Ti and Graphite at 1100 °C. TiO 2 is the most detected oxide due to the reaction of Ti-C/ nano Al 2 O 3 and also for Ti-C/ nano CuO reaction. No evidence of both elemental Al and Cu was found due to structural analysis in the final products. On the other hand, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) results confirm the appearance of Al and Cu in the produced microstructure. Further investigation may generate belief that Al and Cu ingress within TiC structure causing a fluctuation in its measured lattice constant.
