Analyzing Mechanical Behaviour of Aluminium Alloy Composites
Reinforced with Ceramics 2023-01-5110
Aluminium composites are remarkably used in automotive, aerospace, and
agricultural sectors because of their lightweight with definable mechanical
properties. The stir casting route was followed to fabricate cylindrical samples
with base aluminium alloy LM4, LM4/SiC, LM4/Al2O3, and
LM4/SiC/Al2O3. The tensile strength, compressive
strength, hardness, and micro-structural analysis were performed on samples and
Finite element analysis (FEA) was adopted to predict the failure modes of
composites. The composites experimental results were found to be in line with
the FEA results, however, the LM4/SiC/Al2O3 revealed
better results on the mechanical properties when compared with other composite
configurations. The mechanical properties improvement like hardness 5%-11%,
tensile strength 10.26%-20.67%, compressive strength 15.19% - 32.58% and 71.52 -
82.1% reduction in dimension have been achieved in
LM4/SiC/Al2O3 composite comparing to base metal.
