Investigation of Mechanical Behavior and Microstructure Analysis of AA7075/SiC/B4C-Based Aluminium Hybrid Composites
The microstructure and mechanical properties of an MMC based on AA 7075 and strengthened through silicon carbide (SiC) as well as boron carbide (B4C) elements were studied. The (SiC + B4C) combination was used in various weight percentages of 4, 8, 12, and 16% to create the hybrid composites utilizi...

| description | The microstructure and mechanical properties of an MMC based on AA 7075 and strengthened through silicon carbide (SiC) as well as boron carbide (B4C) elements were studied. The (SiC + B4C) combination was used in various weight percentages of 4, 8, 12, and 16% to create the hybrid composites utilizing the traditional stir casting procedure. XRD and SEM measurements were used to investigate the dispersion of the reinforced particles. For example, microhardness, impact strength, and ultimate tensile strength were measured on hybrid composites at room temperature. The density and porosity of the materials were also studied. The researchers found that increasing the weight percentage of the (SiC + B4C) mixture resulted in a small drop in % elongation. However, hybrid composites comprising 16% (SiC + B4C) weight reduction showed some decrease in hardness and tensile strength. Equated to unreinforced alloys, the hardness and tensile strength of hybrid composites rise by 8% and 21%, respectively. Reinforcement also resulted in a decrease in impact strength and density, as well as an increase in porosity. |
