Description
Summary:The AA8011 reinforced with 5 to 20 weight percent of zirconium diboride (ZrB2) were developed via stir casting route. In this current research work, characterization evaluation was conducted on the AA8011 alloy and its composites with the varying composition to investigate the physical and mechanical properties. The results of the mechanical properties obtained revealed an enhanced hardness and strengthening mechanism propagation of the composite in comparison to the base alloy AA8011. The experimental studies show that the addition of ceramic particles into the molten metal alloy resulted in improved properties. Also, an increase in the percentage composition of the particles leads to an increase in the strength value of the composite. Generally, the improvement in the hardening mechanical behavior of the composites can be attributed to the intrinsic properties of the incorporated particulates.
