Abstract
As compared to unreinforced alloys, metal matrix composites (MMCs) have considerably better properties such as extraordinary specific strength, damping power, precise modulus, and strong wear resistance. There has been an increase in research into producing composites with small density and low cost reinforcements, as well as their capability to be manufactured using traditional approaches. A Toughening of aluminum metal matrixes is achieved by reinforcing them with hard ceramic particles such as Sic, Al2O3, and B4C, among others. The current study aims to improve the mechanical properties of AMCs such as rigidity and hardness by supporting the 6061Al structure with B4C particles. Aluminum lattice was made up with boron carbide average particulates of 40 µm sizes using a combination projecting course. Fabricated AMCs' microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The SEM and optical microstructure of the composites demonstrates the homogeneous scattering of B4C particles. Tensile strength and hardness Properties were found to proliferation as weight percent of B4C was increased.
