Non-destructive evaluation from deformed aluminum alloy 6063 and silicon carbides black and green reinforced aluminium alloy based composites

Abstract

In this work, tensile mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy 6063 (AA6063) with reinforced silicon carbides (SiC) black and green aluminium based composites and the deformed specimens are analyzed using nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of ultrasonic inspections. The specimens making of various weight proportions and its manufacturing of stir casting technique. After tensile test the deformed specimens measure the surfaces using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDX). Also, conduct the salt spray test of the deformed specimens and compare the surfaces at before and after the deformation. The deformed specimen for NDE was observed interruption, twinning and debonding in onset of plastic deformation of the matrix interfaces. However, the interaction moment was significantly influence by the load bearing capacity from the reinforcement to the matrix. The result was showed that AA6063 with SiC black and green composites are better tensile mechanical properties and better surface integrity was investigated. Furthermore, the regression analysis shows that the variations of interfaces on AA6063 with SiC black and green composites and the factors influenced by the tensile properties, salt spray test and ultrasonic test are found significant and the MMCs are the specific applications of automotive industries.
