Abstract
In this paper, the detailed characterization of mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of Ag nanoparticle-reinforced Al6061 alloy was studied. Four composites with Al6061 alloys and different mass percentages (3%, 6%, 9% and 12%) of Ag nanoparticles were processed by stir casting method. The chemical analysis was used to confirm the elemental composition. The microstructural examination was carried out using optical microscopy. The phase analysis of the samples was studied using X-ray diffraction technique. The density and hardness were measured as per ASTM standards. Four-point probe tester and differential scanning calorimetry were used to measure the electrical conductivity and specific heat. In addition, the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity were measured using laser flash method. The results reveal the presence of Ag nanoparticles can significantly enhance the mechanical, electrical and thermal properties.
