  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 …

  Investigation on Dry Sliding Wear Behaviour of AlSi7Mg0.3/B4C/ZrO2 Hybrid Composites using Taguchi Method

  By S. Venkat Prasat, N. Venkateshwaran, S. Sekar, A. Rajkumar, K. Duraivelu

  Abstract: Hybrid Aluminium/Boron carbide/Zirconium oxide (AlSi7Mg0.3/B4C/ZrO2) composites were fabricated utilizing stir casting technique by varying boron carbide content (4wt.%, 8wt.% and 12wt.%) and utilizing a fixed amount (4wt.%) of zirconium oxide particles. Optical microscopy revealed that B4C and ZrO2 particulates were dispersed uniformly in AlSi7Mg0.3 matrix. Dry sliding wear experiments were carried out utilizing the pin-on-disc tribometer with various levels of applied loads, sliding speeds and weight percentage of boron carbide …
