“…Al369 aluminum alloy is known to have poor wear resistance, corrosion rate, mechanical and elastic properties, which limit its uses in various industries. Many attempts have been done to improve the above-mentioned properties of different Al alloys by different oxides such as Al 2 O 3 [24,25], nitrides [26], carbides such as TiC and SiC [27,28] and borides [29,30] having in mind that the most common are Al 2 O 3 and SiC. However, according to the authors' knowledge, this study is possibly the first attempt to improve the different properties of Al-Si alloy using the combination of VC and FA.…”

Recently, the attention of scientists has been devoted to improving the various properties of aluminum alloys such as strength, elastic modulus, and wear and corrosion. In this respect, the preparation of hybrid nanocomposites containing two ceramic reinforcements is a promising strategy for enhancing the aformentioned properties for use in various industrial applications. Therefore, powder metallurgy technique was used to manufacture hybrid nanocomposites from Al-Si matrix reinforced with different weight percentages of vanadium carbide (VC) and fly ash (FA) particles. Then, the prepared powders' microstructure and particle size distributions were examined by SEM technique and diffraction particle size analyzer. The prepared powders were sintered in an argon atmosphere and subsequently, their physical, elastic and mechanical properties, and wear and corrosion behavior were measured. The results showed that the addition of 10 wt.% VC and 10 wt.% FA nanoparticles resulted in a decrease in Al-Si alloy particle sizes up to 47.8 nm and improved microhardness yield, strength, and Young's modulus to 161, 145 and 64%, respectively. Also, it remarkably decreased the rate of wear and corrosion to 40 and 67%, respectively.

“…Developing materials from renewable sources with a high strength-to-weight ratio such that the flexural performance of the material is high in respect to its weight remains a challenging task for engineers and scientists (Parashar et al, 2021;Okokpujie et al, 2020;Jiang et al, 2020;Bratek-Skicki, 2021;Tu et a., 2021;Reddy et al, 2020). Natural fibers from plant materials have in recent times been exploited for applications in several industries due to their low density and environmental friendliness.…”

With the continuous need for sustainable, environmentally friendly, and low-cost systems, processes, and materials, natural fibers have been a major topic of discussion in the materials science community as it has increasingly found acceptance in material development as an alternative to synthetic fibers due to environmental concerns. Although many studies have been carried out in this regard, the optimal flexural performance of pineapple leaf fiber/synthetic fiber hybrid reinforced composite has not been studied even with its promising application in aviation, health, and fitness, marine, etc. In this study, a Pineapple Leaf fiber (PALF)/Glass fiber Epoxy hybrid composite PxGyEz (with x, y, and z representing the volume fraction of pineapple leaf fiber, the volume fraction of glass fiber, and fiber length respectively) was developed and its flexural properties optimized and modeled with regards to the variable manufacturing parameters of x, y, and z respectively. For the quality characteristics (flexural strength) investigated, the Minitab®19 software was used to analyze the Taguchi robust experiment design technique on a higher the better basis. The optimum combination of the control factors was found at x = 20%, y = 20%, and z = 25mm. The optimized composite P20G20E25 possessed a flexural strength of 144.4994MPa which was only a 7.17% deviation from the predicted optimum flexural strength. Analysis of variance showed that the PALF had the highest contribution of 23.97% to the flexural strength of the PxGyEz, glass fiber 7.13%, and fiber length 12.79%. SEM Images of the PALF, glass fiber, and the fractured surface of the optimized material P20G20E25 revealed the surface structure which explained their different contribution to the flexural strength of the materials. An equation for the prediction of the flexural properties of PxGyEz was derived from the regression model and it had an approximately 77.57% agreement with experimentation.

“…This is the inducement for increased focus on the use of the direction of particles reinforced Al alloy MMCs for tribological applications [9]. Furthermore, researchers had also studied the immense potential in their properties of Al/SiC/Al 2 O 3 based materials such as better machinability, superior weldability, formability, good castability and better corrosive resistance at high temperature and pressure [10]. Based on the recent research survey, it can be considered that SiC-Al 2 O 3 particulates reinforced composites are useful in automotive applications, for the manufacture of camshafts, pistons, bearing surfaces, braking systems and cylinder liners and also used in aerospace-applications, for the manufacture of wings of the aircraft structure, exhaust systems and engine components.…”

The Al2O3-SiC reinforced Al7075 Metal Matrix Composite (MMCs) is fabricated through liquid metallurgical technique. Ceramic particulates were amalgamated into aluminium alloy to achieve improved mechanical properties and wear resistance. Al-7075/Al2O3/SiC hybrid MMCs were produced by reinforcing 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% of Al2O3 and 3%, 5% and 7% of SiC particles. Microstructural analysis was carried out to evaluate the uniform dispersal of reinforcing particulates within the base matrix. The output results indicate that the mechanical properties of the hybrid MMCs enhanced by increase the wt. % of ceramic particulates. Tensile fractography results show the internal fracture structure of the tensile test specimens in which the particulates fracture and pullouts were observed. The wear characteristics of developed composites are studied using pin on disc apparatus. The high wear resistance is observed at 5% Al2O3 + 7% SiC reinforced MMCs.
