Abstract

The A383 aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) are prominent automotive materials owing to their low-density yet high-strength nature. However, the conventional casting techniques, exorbitant price, and scarce supply of traditional ceramic reinforcements remain challenging. This research countermeasure the challenges by hybridizing the A383 with industrial marble dust (MD) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) through the stir-cum-squeeze casting technique. A constant proportion (4 wt%) of MD waste and varying proportions of hBN (1.5, 3, 4.5, and 6 wt%) were used to reinforce A383 alloy to improve its physio-mechanical characteristics. Stir-cum-squeeze casting enables homogenous dispersion of reinforcement particles within the matrix, resulting in improved interfacial bonding. Optimal results were achieved for A383 alloy reinforced with 4 wt% of MD and 6 wt% hBN, ensuring balanced tribo-mechanical characteristics against the as-casted A383. The hardness value increased by 40.8%, while the compression and tensile strength increased by 30.8% and 115.8%, respectively. Non-destructive testing confirms the effective reduction of porosity in the stir-cum-squeeze-cast composites. Moreover, the hybrid composites exhibit improved corrosion resistance by 32.18% after 72 h of testing. Additionally, the hybrid composites demonstrate a wear rate reduction of 54.35%.
通过使用大理石粉和六方氮化硼增强剂进行搅拌挤压铸造,提高 A383 铝基复合材料的三力学性能和腐蚀性能
A383 铝基复合材料(AMC)具有密度低、强度高的特点,是一种重要的汽车材料。然而,传统的铸造技术、高昂的价格和传统陶瓷增强材料的稀缺性仍然是一项挑战。本研究通过搅拌挤压铸造技术,将 A383 与工业大理石粉(MD)和六方氮化硼(hBN)混合,以应对上述挑战。固定比例(4 wt%)的 MD 废料和不同比例(1.5、3、4.5 和 6 wt%)的 hBN 被用于强化 A383 合金,以改善其物理机械特性。搅拌加挤压铸造可使强化颗粒在基体中均匀分散,从而改善界面结合。使用 4 wt% MD 和 6 wt% hBN 增强的 A383 合金达到了最佳效果,确保了与原铸造 A383 相比均衡的三力学特性。硬度值提高了 40.8%,压缩强度和拉伸强度分别提高了 30.8% 和 115.8%。非破坏性测试证实,搅拌加挤压铸造复合材料的孔隙率得到了有效降低。此外,经过 72 小时的测试,混合复合材料的耐腐蚀性提高了 32.18%。此外,混合复合材料的磨损率降低了 54.35%。
