Mechanical and Thermal Investigations of Aluminium Al7075 Zirconium Oxide and Graphite Composite Material

Abstract

In the world, existing materials are not sufficient to overcome the needs and to fulfil those needs, composite materials exist. The properties of composite materials are enhanced to overcome the needs. In this article, Aluminium is used as base material, whereas Zirconium Oxide and Graphite materials are used as additive materials at three composition percentage. The distribution of Zirconium Oxide and Graphite in base material Aluminium is investigated by Optical Microscope. Different composition of composite material is analysed for mechanical and thermal behaviour. As results concluded, composite material matrix of AL80%, ZrO15% and Graphite 5% has increased mechanical and thermal properties over other two composite materials such as increased hardness and tensile strength in the range of 66HRB and 138.66N/mm2, and the increased thermal conductivity is 215W/mk.
