Fabrication of hybrid (AA6061/SiCp/B4C) composites using FSP method and analysing the thermal behaviour in the weld region. (2021) - Subramani, N.
Abstract: The aim of this effort is to use friction stir processing to make an aluminium-based hybrid composite (FSP). Because of their high strength-to-weight ratio, aluminium alloys are widely used in the nautical, concrete, transportation, and aircraft industries. Friction strengthened metal matrix composites (PRMMC) is made from A6061 and its reinforcements B4C and SiCp particles. particles strengthened metal matrix composites (PRMMC) was produced by friction stir processing (FSP). The optical microscopy, hardness tests used to characterize the samples. The results indicated that the uniform distribution of SiCp/B4 C elements in A6061 matrix by FSP process and heat treated this can be advance the mechanical possessions of samples. Therefore, pretending the mechanical performance of a prepared new specimen is very important to assess the protection of the plate.
