The study here under describes the impact of adding a nano-scaled ceramic particles on the mechanical and fatigue behaviors of aluminum matrix composites AMCs containing 0.5 ,1.0 ,1.5, and 2 % wt. of nano-scaled B4C and Al2O3 particles were dispersed in molten aluminum by the stir-casting process. Vickers, tensile, and fatigue devices were utilized to evaluate the mechanical behavior of composites in the fabrication process. The results show that increasing the weight percentage of nano-ceramic particles increased the hardness, maximum tensile stress, and fatigue strengths of the base alloy. Furthermore, all of the above behaviors of AMCs reinforced with B4C particles are better than those of AMCs reinforced with Al2O3 particles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
