Influence of Graphite Particles on the Mechanical and Wear Characterization of Al6082 Alloy Composites.

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.

Impact of Bonding Temperature on Microstructure, Mechanical, and Fracture Behaviors of TLP Bonded Joints of Al2219 with a Cu Interlayer.

The present study aims at producing transient liquid phase (TLP) bonded Al2219 joints with pure Cu (copper) as an interlayer. The TLP bonding is carried out at the bonding temperatures in the range of 480 to 520 °C while keeping the bonding pressure (2 MPa) and time (30 min.) constant.

Al2014-Alumina Aerospace Composites: Particle Size Impacts on Microstructure, Mechanical, Fractography, and Wear Characteristics.

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.

Microstructural Evolution, Tensile Failure, Fatigue Behavior and Wear Properties of AlO Reinforced Al2014 Alloy T6 Heat Treated Metal Composites.

The paper focused on an experimental study on the microstructural, mechanical, and wear characteristics of 15 wt.% alumina (AlO) particulates with an average particle size of 20 µm, reinforced in Al2014 alloy matrix composite as-cast and heat-treated samples. The metal matrix composite (MMC)samples were produced via a novel two-stage stir-casting technique.
