Abstract:

In the current research, titanium carbide (TiC) is used to reinforce the aluminium alloy (AA 6063) in stir-cast hybrid composites at concentrations of 5, 10, and 15 weight percent together with 3 weight percent of graphite. The application of this developed composite is mainly used for automobile suspension parts. The portrayal of characters was performed, and the mechanical properties of the fabricated samples were investigated. Composites with different TiC weight percentages have their mechanical properties, including hardness, tensile strength, compressive strength, and flexural strength, measured and assessed. The results are shows that AA 6063 alloy with 3 wt. percentage of graphite with an increasing weight percentage of TiC composites are better in the mechanical property. The hardness of the AA 6063 alloy composites is greater than that of the base matrix alloy. The tensile strength of Al 6063 alloy composites has been reported to grow with increasing TiC particle content and to be significantly higher than the strength of the matrix alloy. Also, the SEM microstructure images clearly shows that 15 weight percentage of TiC with 3 weight percentage of Graphite shows the maximum distribution in the matrix.
