| Popis: | Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites are one of the advanced engineering materials that have been widely used in aerospace and automotive industries due to their excellent mechanical properties. In Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite, aluminium matrix is strengthened by reinforcing it with hard ceramic particles like Sic, Al2O3, and B4C etc. Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite was manufactured by sand casting process with Aluminium-LM13 grade as base metal and boron carbide as reinforcement. This study investigates the cooling rate and influence of boron carbide on mechanical properties of Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites. Experiments were performed by casting of Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites with varying the weight Percentage of boron carbide from 3% to 9% and cooling rate is measured using k type thermocouple at point 1mm away from the mold cavity.In order to investigate the influence of boron carbide on mechanical properties microstructure analysis, tensile tests, hardness tests were conducted. Results showed that mechanical properties of Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite were improved with Percentage of boron carbide. |
