Study Of Mechanical Properties Of LM-4 Reinforcement With Zro2 For Structural Application
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
Composite materials are engineered or naturally occurring materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties which remain separate and distinct within the finished structure. Composite materials are highly utilized in various fields like aerospace structure, marine, automobile, etc. The present study deals with the investigation of effect of reinforcement (Zirconium dioxide) particles on mechanical properties of Aluminium alloy (LM4) composites, fabricated by stir casting method. The MMC’s specimens were prepared by varying weight fraction of the reinforced particles as 0 Wt.%, 3 Wt.%, 6 Wt.%, and 9 Wt.%, 12 Wt.%, 15 Wt.% and keeping all other parameters constant. The microstructure and mechanical properties of fabricated MMC’s were analyzed. Microstructural studies of the MMC’s reveal a uniform distribution of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) particles in the Aluminium (LM4) matrix. The mechanical properties like Micro structural properties, Hardness, Tensile strength and Compression test, were improved with the increase in weight fraction of zirconium dioxide particles in the Aluminium matrix. It was observed that the elongation decrease with increase weight fraction of zirconium dioxide particles in the Aluminium matrix.
