In the current study, a two-stage stir cast process was used to produce Al6082 reinforced with sized graphite particulates, and the material's mechanical and tribological properties were analyzed. The graphite content in the Al6082 alloy was increased from 2 to 6% in steps of 2 wt %. The impact of graphite addition to Al6082 was evaluated using microstructural micrographs, hardness test, tensile test, and wear test outcomes.

Hybrid composite materials are a form of material that incorporates more than one type of reinforcement into a matrix to attain enhanced qualities. This usually includes the use of nanoparticle fillers in classic advanced composites with fiber reinforcements such as carbon or glass. In the current investigation, the impact of carbon nanopowder filler on the wear and thermal performance of the chopped strand mat E-glass fiber-reinforced epoxy composite (GFREC) were analyzed.

Micron-sized BC addition to the Al2011 alloy was investigated for its impact on mechanical and wear performance. The stir-casting method was used to manufacture the Al2011 alloy metal matrix composites reinforced with varying percentages of BC particulates (2, 4, and 6). The microstructural, mechanical, and wear properties of the synthesized composites were tested.

An Al2014-alumina (AlO) composite's characteristics are significantly influenced by the reinforcement particle size variation. Therefore, this study examines the microstructure, mechanical, fractography, and wear performance of an Al2014-AlO composite made using a unique two-stage stir casting method and various alumina weight fractions (9, 12, and 15 wt %). Three categories of alumina particle size are used, i.
