Abstract:This study examined the impact of hybrid reinforcement particles, specifically zirconium carbide (ZrC) and tungsten carbide (WC), as well as the parameters of friction stir processing (FSP), on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and dynamic behavior of aluminum alloys. The hybrid particles were integrated into the aluminum alloy using friction stir processing (FSP). The fabricated metal matrix composites (MMCs) were characterized using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and dynamic… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
