This paper studies the surface tribology and mechanical properties of AA6061 graded aluminum alloy matrix composite, reinforcing Silicon Carbide and Boron Carbide. In this work, the AA6061 graded aluminum alloy is reinforced with 3%, 6%, 9% (By weight) of B4C with constant 5% (By weight) of SiC under stir casting and producing three test samples A, B and, C respectively. The Samples were subjected to wear test, tensile test, impact test, and hardness test calculating wear loss, wear rate, coefficient of friction, ultimate tensile strength, impact strength, and brinell hardness. From analyzing the results from the test conducted, it is inferred that maintaining the optimum B4C composition between 3% and 6% in Al-SiC produces better mechanical properties and wear resistance.

Abstract

This paper studies the surface tribology and mechanical properties of AA6061 graded aluminum alloy matrix composite, reinforcing Silicon Carbide and Boron Carbide. In this work, the AA6061 graded aluminum alloy is reinforced with 3%, 6%, 9% (By weight) of B4C with constant 5% (By weight) of SiC under stir casting and producing three test samples A, B and, C respectively. The Samples were subjected to wear test, tensile test, impact test, and hardness test calculating wear loss, wear rate, coefficient of friction, ultimate tensile strength, impact strength, and brinell hardness. From analyzing the results from the test conducted, it is inferred that maintaining the optimum B4C composition between 3% and 6% in Al-SiC produces better mechanical properties and wear resistance.
