Development and Physical Characterization of AA6082/Graphene/TiC Hybrid Composite
摘要
In the current research, hybrid aluminium composite of AA6082, graphene and TiC was developed using stir-casting. The varying percentage of reinforcements was used for the fabrication of hybrid composites. These reinforcement percentage varies from 1 to 6%. The two particulates, viz.: graphene and TiC were used. After the development of composite, the confirmation of elements and microstructure were made using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The confirmation of elements distribution was also made with the SEM micrographs. The porosity and density of the developed composites are increasing with the increase in the weight percentage of the particulates. The density of hybrid composite increases from 2.62 to 2.85 g/cm3 with the increase in reinforcement from 1 to 6%. The porosity is also increases from 0.41% (for 1% reinforcement) to 1.47% (for 6% reinforcement).
