Microstructural Evaluation and Mechanical Properties of Al1050/TiO2-Graphite Hybrid Nanocomposite Produced Via Friction Stir Processing

Effect of Al2O3 nanoparticles on the mechanical behaviour of aluminium-based metal matrix composite synthesized via powder metallurgy

“…[6][7][8] Whilst it is possible to develop MMCs of various metals and alloys, aluminium and its alloys are more suitable matrix material for the addition of nanoparticles to develop MMCs owing to their low density, high strength to weight ratio and lower cost which are the main selection criteria in light weighting. [9][10][11] The silicon carbide, aluminium oxide (alumina), and boron carbide nanoparticles are commonly used with aluminium alloys-based matrix due to their homogenous bonding with aluminium and its alloys which help in uniform load transfer in structural applications. 6,12 The most important challenge for the qualification of MMCs to use in engineering applications is their consistent material properties.…”
