Abstract:The effect of nano-sized B4C particulates on the Zn85-Sn15 alloy has been investigated. Composites reinforced with B4C of (0%, 2%, 4% and 6%, by weight) are manufactured by two step stir casting. Microstructural studies carried out by SEM, EDS, and XRD and mechanical testing like tensile, hardness, and impact were performed on cast samples. The criteria for determining strength and fractography are met. EDS analysis confirms the homogeneous distribution of B4C particles in the Zn-Sn matrix seen in SEM microgra… Show more
