Mechanical Behavior of Heat Treated Al6061-TungstenCarbide and Graphite Reinforced Hybrid Composites

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: In the present investigation the mechanical behavior of 1 - 4 wt% tungsten carbide reinforced aluminum metal matrix composites and 4 wt% graphite reinforced hybrid metal matrix composites were studied. The composites were developed by liquid metallurgy technique. All the investigating composites were heat treated with T6 treatment for 1,3,5 aging period. It was found that, due to the thermal mismatch of base metal and reinforcement the mechanical properties were varied further results revealed that the tensile strength, compressive strength and hardness of MMCs and MMHCs were increased. The micrographs of the fractured surfaces confirmed the brittle fracture of the composite.
