Abstract
In the present investigation Al6061-Glass particulate metal matrix composite with different weight percentage of reinforcements (3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%) was prepared using melt stirring technique. The prepared composites specimens undergo tests to evaluate the wear and mechanical properties like hardness and tensile strength. The homogeneous distribution of reinforced particles in the Al6061 matrix was examined using optical microscopy and XRD analysis. by increasing the weight percentage of reinforcement particle in the matrix alloy increases the hardness and tensile strength of composites up to 9 wt% and sudden decreases in the hardness and tensile strength for 12 wt% because of agglomeration of the reinforcement particles in the matrix alloy. The wear rate of the composites increases significantly by increasing the wt% of reinforcement particles.
