Hardness and Wear Studies of AA 7075-B4C-Gr Composite Produced by Stir Casting Technique
摘要
Traditional monolithic materials aren’t always able to combine strength, stiffness toughness, and density well. Composites are the most promising materials of current research because they have the potential to overcome these drawbacks and satisfy the constantly growing demands of contemporary technology. In current research, stir casting is used to fabricate the AA 7075-B4C-Gr composite. The matrix of AA 7075 alloy, which may be used for space, aviation, and automotive components at high temperatures, was reinforced with boron carbide (B4C). The mechanical properties in terms of hardness and wear test were carried out on AA 7075-B4C–Gr composite. The sample of AA7075 alloy was also casted and tested for comparison.
