Processing, microstructure, density and compression behaviour of nano B4C particulates reinforced Al2219 alloy composites

Abstract

In the present situation, there is always a unremitting requirement for the weight and cost effective product designs to remain competitive all time, synthesis of composite materials and its improved material properties is always remained as best practical solution to convince market demand. In metallic materials, aluminum alloy is most preferred for research and development activities for its low density, economical, ease of accessibility and production, good interfacial bonding with reinforcements [1].The combination of one or more materials, with one being with matrix phase (Al, Zn, Mg, Ti etc) and other being reinforcement phase (SiC, B 4 C, TiC, Gr, Al203, etc.), the two phases having different physical properties are combined by different processing techniques to form a new material known as composites with improved mechanical and physical properties [2−4].

Investigations on Mechanical Behaviour of Micro B4C Particles Reinforced Al6061 Alloy Metal Composites

“…Always the particles strength is very high in terms of https://www.indjst.org/ (19,20) . The compression strength of Al2219 alloy was enhanced with the incorporation of B 4 C particles investigated by Shashidhar et al (21) which acts as a barrier for the plastic deformation during compression loading.…”

Influence of SiO2 and nano graphene particles on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of A356 alloy metal composites

“…Given the distinct advantages of both graphene and silica, their integration has been projected to achieve superior properties. The synthesis of graphene-silica hybrid composites combines the strengths of both materials while mitigating issues related to graphene agglomeration [28]. Agglomeration can significantly reduce the surface area of graphene, diminishing its performance.…”
