Abstract

: Due to their low weight, high strength and enhanced tribological properties, aluminium alloy composite materials are recognized globally after for highly scientific applications. Al7075 hybrid composite was created by using the sand mould process in an electric resistance furnace to reinforce aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) and boron carbide (B 4 C) particles. In this study, the mechanical behaviour of hybrid composites made of Al7075, Al 2 O 3 , and B 4 C with stable Al 2 O 3 contents of 2% and variable B 4 C weight percentages of 2% to 6% was examined. In both pure and cast specimens, the mechanical characteristics, such as tensile and compressive strength, hardness, and microstructure analysis, were assessed. In this study, the mechanical characteristics of the hybrid composites made from Al7075 alloy were experimentally studied and validated using the ASTM standard and FEA. The results showed that when hard ceramic particles (Al 2 O 3 /B 4 C) were added to a matrix alloy (Al7075), mechanical characteristics such as compressive strength and hardness improved while tensile strength was reduced. The static structural tensile test was successfully simulated in ANSYS. It was observed that both FEA results and analytical results were correlated.

期刊介绍： “Evergreen - Joint Journal of Novel Carbon Resource Sciences & Green Asia Strategy” is a refereed international open access online journal, serving researchers in academic and research organizations and all practitioners in the science and technology to contribute to the realization of Green Asia where ecology and economic growth coexist. The scope of the journal involves the aspects of science, technology, economic and social science. Namely, Novel Carbon Resource Sciences, Green Asia Strategy, and other fields related to Asian environment should be included in this journal. The journal aims to contribute to resolve or mitigate the global and local problems in Asia by bringing together new ideas and developments. The editors welcome good quality contributions from all over the Asia.
