In this study, to evaluate the effect of boron carbide (B4C) addition on the wear performance of aluminum (Al), Al6061 and 5, 10, and 20 vol.% B4C/Al6061 composites were manufactured using the stir casting and hot rolling processes. B4C particles were randomly dispersed during the stir casting process; then, B4C particles were arranged in the rolling direction using a hot rolling process to further improve the B4C dispersion and wear resistance of the composites. Furthermore, a continuous interfacial layer between B4C and the Al6061 matrix was generated by diffusion of titanium (Ti) and chromium (Cr) atoms contained in the Al6061 alloy. Wear depth and width of the composites decreased with increasing B4C content. Furthermore, with B4C addition, coefficient of friction (COF) improved as compared with that of Al6061. The results indicate that interface-controlled, well-aligned B4C particles in the friction direction can effectively increase the wear properties of Al alloys and improve their hardness.

Driven by the increasing requirements from aircraft producers, aluminium alloy matrix composites with carbon fiber reinforcement have been largely used in the modern industry. The method of traditional preparation of carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites is not only high cost and complex to produce but also difficult to apply in the civilian. The present paper focuses on exploratory study on the preparation of carbon-fiber- reinforced aluminum composites, the intensifying material is continuous long carbon fiber. In order to avoid any interfacial reactions in the carbon fiber reinforced composites, the carbon fibers were coated with copper. We made The tensile samples were made by using the mould, the tensile properties determined, the strengthening mechanism studied, and the carbon fiber in the matrix observed with the microscope.
