Mechanical Characterization of Aluminium 8176 Metal Matrix Composite Reinforced with Boron Carbide

Abstract

The current study emphasizes on the characterization of Al8176 and the percentage fluctuation of boron carbide in MMC. This process necessitates via means of numerous techniques and technologies with the following goals: (i) Investigating both mechanical and physical characteristics of each constituent of the composite material for different volume fraction (ii) Recognizing how manufacturing and composition affect the composite's characteristics; and (iii) Analyzing and predicting the effectiveness of materials.These appears to be particularly significant when it comes to composite products containing extremely inhomogeneous characteristics (the line signifies the presence of inhomogeneous particle or materials will corrode faster, in this regard we concentrated on homogenous mixture to improve the corrosion resistance in the composition). The physical and mechanical characteristics in this study were looked at the microstructure research into the Aluminum-Reinforced Metal matrix composite 8176 with the boron carbide (0%, 2%, 4% and 6%). The findings show that mechanical characteristicsof the composite metal matrix, such as compression, hardness, and tensile strength, were found to increase as the weight percentage of boron carbide increased.
