Additive manufacturing techniques (AMTs) evolved quickly from simple prototype options to promising additive manufacturing techniques. The additive technologies, which include point-by-point material merging, full melting, and solidification of powder particles, provide potential unique braves and advantages with nanometal powders. In the fabrication of A356 aluminium alloy-based hybrid metal matrix nanocomposites, graphite (Gr), iron oxide (Fe3O4), and boron carbide (B4C) are used as nanoreinforcement. Famous AMTs like selective laser melting have created A356 hybrid nanocomposites (SLM). The ingot was made out of a cylindrical slot measuring 14 × 100 mm. The percentages 2%, 4%, and 6% are added to the reinforcements Gr, Fe3O4, and B4C. Microtensile and microhardness tests were used to determine the outcome of the reinforcement. Microtensile and microhardness parameters are assessed using microtensile test equipment and a Vickers hardness tester, with the specimen prepared in accordance with ASTM standards. A356 with 2, 4, and 6% reinforcing has a Vickers Hardness Number (VHN) of 144, 163, and 188, respectively. As the boron carbide reinforcement is increased, the load value of graphite and iron oxide (2, 4, and 6%) rises. The greatest ultimate tensile strengths are 260.10, 290.06, and 325.43 N/mm2, respectively. The bonding structure of nanocomposites is assessed using an OM, and then, microtensile specimens are assessed using a SEM. As a result of the superior effect of the diverse reinforcements Gr, Fe3O4, and B4C, more increased tensile and hardness qualities have been attained.
Background: Electronic packaging makes use of hybrid A356 aluminium alloy MMCs (matrix metal composites). Enhanced endurance limit, increased production and energy, low maintenance cost, and benefits to the environment, such as reduced noise and airborne pollutants, are among the features that are recommended to be evaluated. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the thermal properties of A356 aluminium alloy with graphite (Gr) and boron carbide (B4C) hybrid metal matrix composites. For this purpose, the A356 hybrid composite was primed by the stir casting process with the addition of 5 wt % and 10 wt % of Gr and B4C reinforcements. In general, A356 hybrid composite material thermal analysis is crucial for electrical equipment. Methods: The liquid-in-filtration method was used to create the hybrid composites, which were then tested thermally for parameters, like melting point, thermal diffusivity, and thermal coefficient of expansion. The thermocouple sensor of a calorimeter was used to examine the disparity in the composites. A thermal analysis tool called TGA was used to visually represent the relationship between a material's weight and temperature. Results: The temperature was found to be 300oC at the 0.411 W/g maximum heat flow rate. Thermal conductivity is the ratio of the temperature difference divided by the area of the heat transfer from one substance to another. The thermal coefficient of expansion illustrates how a material's dimensions and weight change as temperature increases. Conclusion: The proportion of the weight of the hybrid composites was found to fall with a rise in the temperature. The melting point curve of the composites demonstrated a little increase in temperature to be accompanied by a sharp increase in heat flow.
