In the present study looked into how incorporating B4C particles with a size range of 20–25 microns would affect the mechanical, wear and physical properties of composites made from Al7010 alloy. The stir cast method accounted for of the total production of B4C composites. Different mechanical properties, such as hardness, tensile behaviour, wear and density, were measured and analysed for these synthetic composites. Microstructure was characterised by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis to determine the distribution and phases of particles smaller than a micron. Wear tests were conducted on all the samples at varying loads and speeds. Hardness and tensile strength of Al7010 alloy were improved by adding B4C particles sized 20–25 microns, with only a minor decrease in elongation. Further, as B4C particles accumulated, the density of the Al7010 alloy decreased. SEM examination revealed a wide range of fracture behaviours upon tensile stress. Load and sliding speeds affected the wear behaviour of Al7010 alloy and its composites.

In the current studies an investigations were made to know the effect of 20 to 25 micron sized B4C particles addition on the physical and mechanical behaviour of Al7010 alloy metal composites. Al7010 alloy with 4 and 8 wt.% of B4C composites were produced by stir cast process. These synthesized composites were tested for numerous mechanical properties like hardness and tensile behaviour along with density measurements. Further, microstructural characterization was carried by SEM and XRD analysis to know the micron sized particles distribution and phases. By adding 20 to 25 micron sized B4C particles hardness and tensile strength of Al7010 alloy was enriched with slight decrease in elongation. Further, density of Al7010 alloy was decreased with the accumulation of B4C particles. Various tensile fracture behaviours were observed by SEM analysis.
