  Mechanical & Tribological Characterization of Al2024-Alumina-Graphite Reinforced Monolithic and Hybrid Composites

  By M. Yashwanth Kumar, T. Vijayakumar, R. Dhanasekaran

  Abstract: This work investigates the mechanical characteristics of Al2024-Al2O3-Graphite reinforced monolithic and hybrid composites fabricated by the stir casting method. Exploratory work involved the fabrication of monolithic composites with varying Al2O3 contents (5-8 wt%) and hybrid composites with the ratios of Al2O3 (2-6 wt%) and Graphite (1-3 wt%) in matrix Al2024. For improving their dispersion, preheated reinforcement particles were introduced in matrix alloy at controlled stirring rates. A homogeneous particle distribution …
