Abstract
An attempt was made to develop AA6063matrix composites (AMCs) using ZrO2 and nickel particles (with different wt.%) as reinforcement through the friction stir processing (FSP) route. Microstructural features of AMCs revealed equiaxed refined grains due to dynamic recrystallization and pinning effect. Phase analysis revealed absence of deleterious intermetallics. Maximum improvement in microhardness and ultimate tensile strength was 58.1% and 80% respectively in AMCs made with 12% ZrO2 while ductility was decreased by 60% compared to the base material. Ductility of AMCs was improved as the percentage of Nickel increased, while tensile strength decreased by small value. AMCs with 6 % ZrO2 + 6 % Ni were found to bring balance in tensile strength and ductility with percentage improvement of 59 and 15%, respectively compared to the base material. It also showed an increment in density by 20%.
期刊介绍:
"Advanced Composite Materials (ACM), a bi-monthly publication of the Japan Society for Composite Materials and the Korean Society for Composite Materials, provides an international forum for researchers, manufacturers and designers who are working in the field of composite materials and their structures. Issues contain articles on all aspects of current scientific and technological progress in this interdisciplinary field. The topics of interest are physical, chemical, mechanical and other properties of advanced composites as well as their constituent materials; experimental and theoretical studies relating microscopic to macroscopic behavior; testing and evaluation with emphasis on environmental effects and reliability; novel techniques of fabricating various types of composites and of forming structural components utilizing these materials; design and analysis for specific applications.
Advanced Composite Materials publishes refereed original research papers, review papers, technical papers and short notes as well as some translated papers originally published in the Journal of the Japan Society for Composite Materials. Issues also contain news items such as information on new materials and their processing."
