  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 …
