Metal matrix composites (MMC) are the combination of two or more dissimilar base metals which in turn gives new metal. Composites have better properties than their base material. Nowadays, composites play the major role in manufacturing industries especially in automotive industry. This paper reveals the reinforcement of Aluminium alloy (6061) with Silicon Carbide and Copper in different ratios to produce new composite using stir casting technique in normal atmospheric temperature.

Alumnium alloy LM 25 based composites reinforced with boron carbide at different weight fractions of 4%, 8%, and 12% were fabricated by stir casting technique. The microstructures and morphology of the fabricated composites were studied by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Elemental mapping of all fabricated composites were done to demonstrate the elements present in the matrix and fabricated composites. The results of microstructural analyses reveal homogenous dispersion of reinforcement particles in the matrix with some little amount of clustering found in composites reinforced with 12% wt. of boron carbide. The mechanical characterization is done for both alloy LM 25 and all fabricated composites based on hardness and tensile strength. The hardness increased from 13.6% to 21.31% and tensile strength 6.4% to 22.8% as reinforcement percentage of boron carbide particles increased from 0% to 12% wt. A fractured surface mapping was also done for all composites.

In this work, boron carbide and graphene nanoparticle composite material (B4C–G) was investigated using an experimental approach. The composite material prepared with the two-step stir casting method showed significant hardness and high melting point attributes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), along with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis, indicated 83.65%, 17.32%, and 97.00% of boron carbide + 0% graphene nanoparticles chemical compositions for the C-atom, Al-atom, and B4C in the compound studied, respectively. The physical properties of all samples’ B4C–G like density and melting point were 2.4 g/cm3 density and 2450 °C, respectively, while the grain size of B4C–G was in the range of 0.8 ± 0.2 µm. XRD, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopic analysis was also performed to investigate the chemical compositions of the B4C–G composite. The molding press composite machine was a fabrication procedure that resulted in the formation of outstanding materials by utilizing the sintering process, including heating and pressing the materials. For mechanical properties, high fracture toughness and tensile strength of B4C–G composites were analyzed according to ASTM standard designs. The detailed analysis has shown that with 6% graphene content in B4C, the composite material portrays a high strength of 134 MPa and outstanding hardness properties. Based on these findings, it is suggested that the composite materials studied exhibit novel features suitable for use in the application of shielding frames.

AbstractIn the present study, aluminium alloy (A380) composites containing 3, 6, 9 and 12 weight percentage of fly ash particles were fabricated by liquid metallurgy technique. Three different size ranges of fly ash particles (50–75 μm, 75–103 μm and 103–150 μm) were used. The composites were evaluated for hardness, tensile strength, density, dry sliding wear and frictional behaviour. Pin-on disc apparatus was used to conduct wear tests at loads of 20, 30 and 40 N at a sliding speed of 3 m/s for a constant period of 10 min. Results showed that hardness, ultimate tensile strength, wear resistance and coefficient of friction were superior in composites reinforced with coarse fly ash particles (103–150 μm) compared to composites with fine particles. The hardness, ultimate tensile strength and wear resistance increased, whereas the coefficient of friction and density decreased with the increase in weight percentage of fly ash. Wear resistance and coefficient of friction decreased with increase in applied load. Scanning electron microscope investigations of worn-out samples were carried out to study the progress of wear.

Traditional Approaches

Traditional approaches such as ocean dumping and inland deposit are unsatisfactory for the management of dredged sediments, in the context of sustainable development. The solidified sediments with fly ash and lime as road base materials are preferred to conserve land and minimize impact to environment. A series of tests, such as compaction tests, tensile strength tests and swell tests, were performed to explore mechanical and swell properties of Dunkirk dredged materials. The fly ash contributes to the considerable increase in elastic modulus and the small increase in tensile strength in the presence of lime. Then the potential of treated sediments as road base material is evaluated. After immersion in water for 4 days, the addition of fly ash can induce a remarkable increase in swell percents in contrast with the lime-based sediments.

Abstract Fly ash has received a lot of attention as a possible support for aluminium alloy composites (AMCs) to improve characteristics while lowering production costs. Al alloy MMC was made with different amounts of fly ash (2, 5, and 8%). The semi-solid state mould was gradually filled with reinforced particles. The optical microscope investigation of the microstructure of AMCs reveals homogenous fly ash dispensation. With the increase in fly ash particulate, the microstructure with refined composition displays reducing Si-needle structure and extending space of eutectic-Al grid space. While hardness increases by 88 percent, tensile strength increases by 57 percent and yield strength by 17 % of the AMCs with the increment of fly ash. The addition of fly ash particles improved the AMCs’ physical and mechanical qualities. As a result, it leads to upgrade the energy utilisation.

In the present work Al356-Bagasse ash composites are produced by two stage stir casting method and subsequently various properties like compression strength, tensile strength, hardness of Al356 are studied. Al356 alloy is reinforced with bagasse ash particles of the various weight percentage (2,4 and 6% wt.). An experimental result shows uniform distribution of the bagasse ash particles in the matrix of the Al356 leading to increase in the mechanical strength of the composites. The tensile and compression tests are carried out with the help of Universal Testing Machine and it was observed that ultimate tensile strength, yield strength and compression strength increases with increase weight percentage of bagasse ash in the composite, while percentage elongation decreases. The hardness of the composites are measured by brinell hardness tester and it was observed that hardness of the composite material increases with increase in weight percentage of bagasse ash particles.
