Aluminium alloys and their composites are often used in aerospace, automobile and biomedical applications. However, mechanical and surface properties of those alloys have not reached up to the expectation. This investigation focused to improve the wear resistance properties along with mechanical and surface properties of aluminium matrix composites. Here, novel aluminium matrix nanohybrid composites were developed using titanium oxide and graphite as reinforced via powder metallurgical route. The sintered samples were analysed by different tests such as, hardness, surface roughness, wear tests and other structural analyses. The obtained results showed that some new compounds formed during sintering were responsible for improved mechanical and surface properties for different applications. The wear test showed that there was rapid worn out of graphite from the composites having aluminium content more than 50 wt% due to the higher content of graphite (10 and 20 wt%, respectively). In addition, due to the increase of porosity in the different hybrid composites, there was an increase in coefficient of friction observed in some materials. The aluminium nanohybrid composite having 40 wt% titania and 10 wt% graphite showed best results compared with others. Therefore, the optimized hybrid composites with proper sintering condition would significantly help to get suitable structural, mechanical as well as tribological properties for many advanced applications.

Aluminium Matrix Composites

Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) used extensively in various engineering fields due to their exceptional mechanical properties. In this present study, aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) such as aluminium alloy (A356) reinforced with rice husk ash particles (RHA) are made to explore the possibilities of reinforcing aluminium alloy. The stir casting method was applied to produce aluminium alloy (A356) reinforced with various amounts of (2%, 4%, and 6%) rice husk ash (RHA) particles. Physical treatment was carried out before the rice husk ash manufacturing process. The effect of mechanical strength of the fabricated hybrid composite was investigated. Therefore, impact test, tensile stress, compressive stress, and some other tests were carried out to analyse the mechanical properties. From the experimental results, it was found that maximum tensile, and compressive stress were found at 6% rice husk ash (RHA) and aluminium matrix composites (AMCs). In future, the optimum percentages of rice husk ash (RHA) to fabricate the hybrid composites will be determined. Also, simulation by finite element method (FEM) will be applied for further investigation.

Abstract Hybrid materials with the metal matrix are important engineering materials due to their outstanding mechanical and tribological properties. Here are presented selected tribological properties of the hybrid composites with the matrix made of aluminum alloy and reinforced by the silicon carbide and graphite particles. The tribological characteristics of such materials are superior to characteristics of the matrix – the aluminum alloy, as well as to characteristics of the classical metal-matrix composites with a single reinforcing material. Those characteristics depend on the volume fractions of the reinforcing components, sizes of the reinforcing particles, as well as on the fabrication process of the hybrid composites. The considered tribological characteristics are the friction coefficient and the wear rate as functions of the load levels and the volume fractions of the graphite and the SiC particles. The wear rate increases with increase of the load and the Gr particles content and with reduction of the SiC particles content. The friction coefficient increases with the load, as well as with the SiC particles content increase.

Research Prospect

Aluminium matrix composites belong to the family of materials whose mechanical, tribological, thermal and electrical properties can be customized effectively. Most of the commercial work on MMCs has been highlighted on Aluminium as the matrix material. The combination of light weight, environmental resistance and beneficial mechanical properties has made Aluminium alloys exceedingly popular; these properties also make Aluminium best suited for use as a matrix metal. The thermophysical properties of these composites can be tailor made and have excellent specific mechanical properties. These composites can be fabricated with ease. Aluminium matrix composites reinforced with the particles of Silicon Carbide possess high yield strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion or thermal expansivity, high modulus of elasticity and excellent wear resistance by maintaining volume proportion up to 20%. Aluminium hybrid composites can be customized to provide moderate Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) and high thermal conductivity that are favorable for the applications pertaining to thermal management equipment. However, it is necessary to evaluate different percentage combinations of reinforcements with matrix Aluminium to check for thermal stability and to measure thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion. It is expected that, Aluminium-Silicon Carbide-Graphite hybrid composites can be used as load bearing material for the above applications. In this paper, a review about the said hybrid composites to investigate thermal properties for engineering applications have been discussed based on its technological relevance, applications and research prospect.

Topographic Parameters

Recyclable aluminum after machining was used to make composites using the SPS method. Due to the SPS method, it was possible to obtain the sinters practically without pores. Three types of composites Al + SiC and hybrid composites such as Al + (WC + 12Co) and Al + [SiC + (WC + 12 Co)] were produced. Their density, resistance to friction wear and surface topographic parameters have been determined. Based on the results, it has been shown that in the case of hybrid sinters, better tribological characteristics compared to composites reinforced with SIC particles only can be obtained. It was also shown that the friction coefficient primarily depends on the difference between the hardness of the pin and the disc. The greater difference in hardness causes the values of the friction coefficient to be higher.
