  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 …

  Exploring the Mechanical Characterization and Microstructural Properties of the Varying Weight % of Nano Boron Carbide (nB4C) Reinforced Al2024 composites using the Vacuum-Assisted Stir Casting Method

  By T. S. Krishna Kumar, T. Srinivasa Rao, Ajay Kumar Kaviti, Namala Kiran Kumar

  Abstract: In this investigation the stir casting technique is utilized to fabricate Al2024-B4C nano composites. The nanoB4C particles used in the reinforcement material have a particle size of 50 nm and variable weight percentages. In Al2024 composites, boron carbide reinforcement is included at weight percentages ranging from 0% to 3%, with a 1% interval between each percentage addition. Following the casting process, the samples were prepared for microstructural and mechanical evaluation …
