Investigation on Characteristics of Stir-Casted Aluminum Matrix Composites—A Review

The aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMCs) are preferred in automotive and aerospace industries for higher strength, weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, and also better tribological properties. This study proposed that the AA7075 alloy methodology was enhanced by stir casting with titanium diboride (TiB2) particles at different percentages (5, 10, and 15 wt. %). The preheated titanium diboride powder is spread to the molten state AA7075 at 870°C to provide good weight resistance and delivery. The prepared composites are evaluated by wear analysis, tensile properties, hardness range, and microstructural behavior studies. Pin-on-disk and Rockwell hardness tester were used to analyze the wear behaviour and hardness level. The tensile strength and hardness have defined the strength of the proposed composite while the addition of TiB2 particles improves the hardness and tensile stress. The findings showed that adding TiB2 particles in the Al7075 matrix strengthened all properties compared to the Al7075 matrix. The scanning electron microscope and EDS were used to analyze the eroded surface and chemical composition of composites.
