Abstract
This research examines the properties of metal matrix composites (MMCs) made from aluminium 6061 T6 with boron carbide and silicon carbide. Aluminium material is a matrix metal with appealing features such as lightweight in nature, high strength and machining with ease. Stir casting is less expensive, simple and used for mass production of MMCs. By adding B4C as (2%, 4%, 6% and 8%) and SiC as constant (5%) reinforcement, the samples are fabricated. The hardness in the material tends to extend by adding the proportion of reinforcement in the metal matrix. Increasing the content of B4C and SiC particles, the MMCs have superior wear resistance.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Vehicle Structures and Systems (IJVSS) is a quarterly journal and is published by MechAero Foundation for Technical Research and Education Excellence (MAFTREE), based in Chennai, India. MAFTREE is engaged in promoting the advancement of technical research and education in the field of mechanical, aerospace, automotive and its related branches of engineering, science, and technology. IJVSS disseminates high quality original research and review papers, case studies, technical notes and book reviews. All published papers in this journal will have undergone rigorous peer review. IJVSS was founded in 2009. IJVSS is available in Print (ISSN 0975-3060) and Online (ISSN 0975-3540) versions. The prime focus of the IJVSS is given to the subjects of modelling, analysis, design, simulation, optimization and testing of structures and systems of the following: 1. Automotive vehicle including scooter, auto, car, motor sport and racing vehicles, 2. Truck, trailer and heavy vehicles for road transport, 3. Rail, bus, tram, emerging transit and hybrid vehicle, 4. Terrain vehicle, armoured vehicle, construction vehicle and Unmanned Ground Vehicle, 5. Aircraft, launch vehicle, missile, airship, spacecraft, space exploration vehicle, 6. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Micro Aerial Vehicle, 7. Marine vehicle, ship and yachts and under water vehicles.
