Abstract

It has become a prerogative of any industry to aim for lightweight materials, having promising strength for all of its major applications. Right from car manufacturers, aiming to incorporate lightweight materials, to substantial Space Research organizations, also aiming to reduce their functional weight, every organization puts forth voluminous efforts to achieve this goal. In such a scenario, Aluminium 7075 and Boron Carbide composites are found to be promising. This article briefs an experimental observation using these Aluminum-Boron Carbide composites which were synthesized using stir casting technique with varying particulate weight fraction (3%, 6%, and 9%). The experimental observation yielded promising outcomes of using this composite for lightweight applications. The composites are found to have greater strength and better weight ratio and are conveniently suitable for lightweight applications. This research work proposes this composite be applied in aircraft wings and engine.
