Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of alumina (Al2O3)–carbon (C) reinforcement on the properties of aluminium matrix. Aluminium matrix reinforced with Al2O3–carbon (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 wt.%) in equal proportion was prepared by stir casting. Phase, microstructure, EDS, density, hardness, impact strength and tensile strength of prepared samples have been investigated. X-ray diffraction reports the intermediate phase formation between the matrix and reinforcement phase due to interfacial bonding between them. Scanning electron microscopy shows that Al matrix has uniform distribution of reinforcement particles, i.e. Al2O3 and carbon. Density decreases due to variation of reinforcement because ceramic reinforcement has low density. Hardness decreases due to variation of carbon since it has soft nature. Impact strength was found to increase with addition of reinforcement. Hybrid composite of Al and 5% Al2O3 + 5% carbon reinforcement has maximum engineering and true ultimate tensile strength. It is expected that the present hybrid metal matrix composites will be useful for fabricating stock screws.

Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites (HMMCs) have gained wide applications in aerospace, marine, and domestic areas because of its significant properties relative to external forces and enabling environment. In present research work, Ni-alloy selected as a matrix and Al2O3 of 40–80 μm and TiO2 of 1–5 μm were selected as reinforcements. The composites were prepared by keeping 9 wt. % of TiO2 as unvarying and Al2O3 is varied from 3 weight % to 12 weight % in steps of 3 weight %. Induction furnace is used for the casting of composites and mixing is done by using mechanical stirring at 160 rpm for a time period of 5 min. The prepared composites are then tested for their tensile and hardness as per the ASTM standards. The Scanning Electron Microscopy was used for microstructural study. From experimentation, it was observed that increment in the weight percentage of Al2O3 with constant TiO2 increases the mechanical properties of hybrid composites and proper stirring improves homogeneity in the composite material. The test results show that the addition of Al2O3 up to 9 weight percent increases in tensile strength compared to Ni alloy and tensile strength slowly decreases with the addition of Al2O3 and that the hardness values are directly proportional to the weight percent of the addition of Al2O3 / TiO2.

Structural Applications

Aluminium based Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) with Aluminium matrix and non-metallic reinforcements are finding extensive applications in automotive, aerospace and defence fields because of their high strength-to-weight ratio, high stiffness, hardness, wear-resistance, high-temperature resistance, etc. Composite materials are frequently chosen for structural applications because they have desirable combinations of mechanical characteristics. Development of hybrid metal matrix composites has become an important area of research interest in Material Science. In this work, the Aluminium alloy is reinforced with 3,5,7,9 wt. % of Al2O3 and 2 wt. % of SiC to prepare the hybrid composite. The present study is aimed at evaluating the physical properties of aluminium 7075 in the presence of silicon carbide, aluminium oxide and its combinations. The compositions are added up to the ultimate level and stir casting method is used for the fabrication of aluminium metal matrix composites. The mechanical behaviours of metal matrix composites like tensile strength, and hardness test are investigated by conducting laboratory experiments. Mechanical properties like micro hardness and tensile strength of Al7075 alloy increase with the addition of SiC and Al2O3 reinforcements.

Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites

The present paper reports the effect of aluminium oxide and titanium oxide reinforcement on the properties of aluminium matrix. Aluminium matrix reinforced with aluminium oxide–titanium oxide (2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 wt.%) in equal proportion were prepared by stir casting. Phase, microstructure, energy dispersive spectroscopy, density, hardness, impact strength and tensile strength of prepared samples have been investigated. X-ray diffraction reports the intermediate phase formation between the matrix and reinforcement phases due to interfacial bonding between them. Scanning electron microscopy shows that aluminium matrix has uniform distribution of reinforcement particle i.e. aluminium oxide and titanium oxide. Density of composite decreases due to variation of reinforcement and it shows low density after preheating. Hardness decreases due to the amalgamation of reinforcements. Impact strength was found to increase with the addition of reinforcements. Hybrid composite of aluminium matrix and (5% aluminium oxide + 5% titanium oxide) reinforcements have maximum engineering and true ultimate tensile strength. It is expected that the present hybrid metal matrix composites will be useful for aircraft rivets.

Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites

Abstract Hybrid Metal Matrix composites have emerged as an epicentre of material research due to their vast applications and a wide array of reinforcement combinations. In this experiment, a hybrid Aluminum metal matrix composite has been fabricated by the double (two steps) stir casting method. The present study evaluates the mechanical properties of AA6061 in varying concentrations of silicon carbide with 5, 10, 15 and 20 weight percent (wt.%), in addition to Rice Husk Ash, Tungsten Carbide and Alumina Powder which are in a fixed quantity. Mechanical properties have been evaluated by conducting an Impact test, Hardness test, Flexural test and Tensile Strength. In addition, micrograph Images have been incorporated for analysing the microstructural characteristics of the Hybrid AMMC. It was observed that MMC properties such as Tensile Strength, Yield Strength, Hardness, Impact Strength were highest at 20 wt.% SiC. Hence, it was inferred that 20wt% SiC was an appropriate concentration for applications in automobile and aerospace pertaining to its augmented mechanical properties. In conclusion, prospects of future research are also explored.
