Abstract:The present study focused on the experimental investigation of the metallurgical, tribological, and mechanical behavior of the developed Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Sr-WC (Al7075-Sr-WC) metal matrix composite. The effect of the reinforcements such as strontium and tungsten carbide (WC) along with a 2 wt% magnesium as the wetting agent during the stir casting of the synthesized aluminum metal matrix composite (MMC) was investigated by varying the weight percentages. The microstructure examination was characterized using field … Show more
