Effect of Weight Percentage on Mechanical Properties of Boron Carbide Particulate Reinforced Aluminium Matrix Composites
View through CrossRef
Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) play a vital role as advanced engineering materials due to their excellent mechanical properties like light weight, strength, wear resistance, toughness. This work focuses on the fabrication of aluminium (AA6061) matrix composites reinforced with 3%, 6% and 9% B4C particle of 104μm using stir casting method. The wettability of B4C particles in the matrix has been improved by adding K2TiF6 flux in to the molten metal. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the fabricated AMCs are analyzed. Uniform distribution of B4C particle in the matrix was confirmed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. It was found that the tensile strength and hardness of the fabricated AMCs increases with increased B4C particle content.
