The present work is intended to fabricate titanium diboride (TiB2) and yttrium oxide (Y2O3) fused bronze metal matrix composite by stir casting technique to achieve effective mechanical and corrosion properties. TiB2- Y2O3 nanocomposite powders were synthesized using the mechanical milling synthesis technique. Spectroscopic analyses like Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) were used to characterize the synthesized nanopowders. The XRD data revealed the average crystalline size of 110±5 nanometres with a hexagonal and cubic phase structure of TiB2 and Y2O3. The fundamental modes and other functional groups of the nanocomposite were analyzed using the FTIR analysis. The SEM images revealed the irregular morphological structures of the composite powders. The bronze metal matrix composite is fabricated by varying the weight percentage of TiB2-Y2O3 nanocomposite as 2%, 4%, and 6 wt.% with bronze alloy via stir casting technique. XRD graphs revealed the formation of metal matrix composite and the FESEM graphs revealed the porous morphology of the composite. The mechanical performance of the composite was analyzed by using the tensile, compression, and hardness tests. Specimen with 4% wt.% reinforcement material offered higher mechanical properties with 303 MPa tensile, 810 MPa compression, 141 HRB hardness, and good corrosion resistance. Hence the fabricated TiB2-Y2O3 fused bronze metal matrix composite with good mechanical and corrosion properties can be used for various sea environment applications.

“…The various reinforcement particulates are used in combination in hybrid MMCs to strengthen their mechanical properties and sliding wear resistance based on their purpose of application in different fields of engineering [17][18][19][20]. Boron carbide is one of the principal reinforcements among the different ceramic reinforcements and has some attractive properties such as decreased specific density, improved mechanical strength, excellent sliding wear resistance, low thermal expansion and chemical stability with an Al alloy [21][22][23]. The results of hybrid reinforcement of B4C/Fly ash with various wt.% combinations in an A356 Al alloy MMC confirm that increasing the wt.% of B4C improves hardness and decreases wear resistance at higher wt.% of B4C (7.5 wt.%) of Al-B4C/Fly ash hybrid MMC [24].…”

This experimental investigation reports the impact of boron carbide (B4Cp) particles on Al2214/3%Grp/xB4Cp hybrid metal matrix composites (HMMCs) at a constant weight percentage of Grp (3 wt.%) and x wt.% of B4Cp particles (x = 1.5, 3, 4.5, and 6) produced by a conventional stir casting metallurgical route with bottom pouring facilities. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) combined with the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDX) shows reasonable uniform distributions of particles in the matrix phase, and a spectrum of elements present in hybrid composites with various intensities. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed for the phase characterization of hybrid composites. Further, the mechanical properties of Al2214 alloy and Al2214/3%Grp/xB4Cp hybrid composites were studied. The experimental results of the hybrid composite revealed improved hardness and tensile properties with the addition of wt.% B4C particles. The tensile fractured surface (SEM) micrographs revealed the root causes and mechanisms of failures in hybrid composites.

“…There were more influential stir casting parameters that affected the homogenous distribution of the reinforcement particles. 11,12 Similarly, attaining sufficient wettability was also one of the major obstacles. Research has been done to improve the wettability by adding sufficient wetting agents, preheating, oxidation, fluxes and also coating of reinforcement particles.…”

Aluminium matrix composites significantly benefit the manufacturing sector due to the high strength-to-weight ratio. However, grain refinement was one of the major problems faced by the research community and also as-cast AA6063 contained eutectic silicon with sharp, long elongated laths that consequently reduces strength and limit their applications. So, the prime novelty of this research work is to refine the grains by performing the cold rolling operation in AA6063 and incorporating rice husk ash and coal fly ash in the AA6063 matrix to break those eutectic laths which attributes to the enhancement of the mechanical properties. Rice husk ash and coal fly ash were chosen because they are economical, possess low density and are available in enormous quantities as solid waste by-products. They contain a substantial concentration of SiO2 and serve as a viable reinforcement for improving the mechanical properties of aluminium composites. In this research, the grain characteristics along with the mechanical properties of aluminium composites reinforced with rice husk ash and coal fly ash, produced by the stir casting technique were investigated. The reinforcements were added in varying concentrations (1.5 and 3.0 wt.%). Six specimens were fabricated of which five were cold rolled. Image J and Origin software was used in evaluating the average grain size of the fabricated alloys and their composites. The results were discussed with the help of grain size distribution and profile plots. Structural and composition studies were done using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. Hardness and tensile tests were performed on the fabricated composites. The outcome of this research reveals, AA6063-3 wt.% rice husk ash composite has improved hardness (84HV) and tensile strength (156 MPa). Moreover, the average grain size of 10.52 µm was the main reason for the attainment of enhanced mechanical properties.
