Abstract

This study investigates the enhancement of aluminum-based composite manufacturing through the utilization of ZrB2 reinforcement via Friction Stir Process (FSP). Achieving a uniform distribution of ZrB2 particles is crucial for optimizing material properties. The addition of ZrB2 nanoparticles using FSP has led to notable improvements in various mechanical properties of aluminum. Tensile strength increased by 20.25%, hardness by 35.67%, fatigue strength by 23.67%, and wear resistance by 29.45%. These enhancements underscore the effectiveness of nanoparticle reinforcement in fortifying aluminum matrices against mechanical stresses and wear mechanisms. The results demonstrate the potential of FSP-based techniques in tailoring the mechanical properties of aluminum-based composites for diverse applications. This research contributes valuable insights into advanced manufacturing methods for developing high-performance materials with enhanced mechanical characteristics, facilitating the advancement of aluminum composite technologies for industries requiring superior strength, durability, and wear resistance.
