Abstract

Investigation is made on the effect of nano sized B4C particulates on Zn85-Tin 15alloy. Nano B4C particulates are used as reinforcement in the Zn-Tin matrix. Composites are fabricated by using two-step route method instep of B4C 0%, 2%, 4% and 6%, and 8% by weight. Casted samples were tested for Microstructural SEM, EDS, XRD analysis and mechanical tests as Tensile, Hardness, and Compression Strength are evaluated as per the standards. SEM micrograph reveals the uniform distribution of B4C particulates in the Zn-Tin matrix and is confirmed by EDS analysis. Further, XRD analysis confirmed the B4C phases on Zn-Tin matrix. Hardiness, Tensile, Compression strength of the base matrix alloy is enhanced with the addition of B4C reinforcement.
