Study of Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Sintered Aluminum Alloy Composite Reinforced with Al₂O₃ Nanoparticles

Abstract:

In this research, aluminum alloy AA2014 matrix composites reinforced with micron (10% wt 5% wt) and nanoparticles (1% wt 5% wt) of Al₂O₃were fabricated through powder metallurgy method. Optimum amount of reinforcement were determined by evaluating mechanical properties like micro-hardness and compressive strength of composites. The composite samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results reveal that the composites containing 2% wt of nanoAl₂O₃and 8 % micro Al₂O₃reinforcement has homogenous microstructure as well as superior mechanical properties.
