Experimental investigation of mechanical properties of Al7075-Al2O3-B4C composite via stir route

Aluminium metal matrix composites have large structural applications in automobile, aeronautical, sports and defence industries. Hybrid composites having two or more two reinforcements can be used for advanced industrial applications. The properties of the composites depend on the selection of an appropriate combination of matrix, reinforcement and processing parameters. Therefore present work aims to develop hybrid aluminium composites with varying weight percentages of particulate reinforcements and investigate their mechanical and tribological properties. In this study, AA7075 is used as the matrix material and the reinforcements reinforced are alumina, boron carbide and carbon. The wear, tensile and flexural behavior of the composites are also analyzed using the scanning electron microscope. Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
