| Description |
There has been a constant drive for replacing monolithic aluminium alloys by aluminium based metal matrix composites (MMCs) in many industrial applications
where high stiffness and high strength to weight ratio are required. The present paper
describes a cost effective route to produce Al alloy-10 wt % TiB metal matrix composites 2
by in-situ molten flux assisted reaction synthesis.
Aluminium alloys are widely used for commercial applications in transportations,
automobiles, construction and similar industrial applications. Now a days main focus is
given to aluminium alloy as a matrix material due to its unique combination of good
corrosion resistance, low density, superior mechanical properties, good vibration
damping, higher wear resistance due to which alloy finds extensive applications in naval
applications. With TiB as particulate addition in Al-Alloy (Al-5Mg) matrix properties of 2
alloy can greatly be improved.
In-Situ Al-Alloy (Al-5Mg) composite material prepared by reaction synthesis was cast
into thick as well as thin section industrial components by gravity and pressure die
casting route. Subsequent structure-property evaluation studies indicated sub-micron
size reinforcement of in-situ formed TiB particles with improved physical and 2
mechanical properties as compared to conventional Al alloy & its composites. From
industrial point of view, the Al-TiB composite has an advantage of easy recycle ability 2
over conventional Al-alloy composites.
