Abstract

In this work, Aluminum Alloy (AA 6081) matrix composites reinforced with Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and Titanium Diboride (TiB2) have been developed through stir casting (SC) method. Influence of TiB2 on the properties of the aluminium composite was studied. The incorporation of TiB2 in the AA6081-2MoS2 matrix improved hardness of the composite. The improved tensile strength (TS) and compressive strength (CS) was obtained for the AA6081-2MoS2-12 wt% TiB2 composite. The high impact strength (IS) is obtained for the AA6081-2MoS2-8 wt% TiB2 composite. The decreased elongation was observed for the increasing content of TiB2. The high bending strength (BS) was obtained for the AA6081-2MoS2-8 wt% TiB2 composite.
