Mg–Al–Zn alloys are widely preferred in many applications by considering their excellent properties of high stiffness-to-weight ratio, lightweight, high strength-to-weight ratio, low density, castability, high-temperature mechanical properties, machinability, high corrosion resistance, and great damping. Improving the properties of such alloys is challenging due to their hexagonal crystal structure and other alloying limitations. This study aims to synthesize Mg–Al–Zn alloy by incorporating the alloying elements 8.3 wt% Al, 0.35 wt% Zn on pure magnesium (Control specimen). Then synthesize Mg–Al–Zn/BN/B4C hybrid composite by reinforcing B4C at three weight proportions (3 wt%, 6 wt%, 9 wt%) along with constant solid lubricant BN (3 wt%) through a stir casting process. The hybrid composite samples were characterized and compared with the performances of the control specimen. The results reveal that 9 wt% B4C reinforced samples outperformed through recording the improvement of tensile strength by 28.94%, compressive strength by 37.89%, yield strength by 74.63%, and hardness by 14.91% than the control specimen. Apart from this, it has reduced the corrosion area (37.81%) and noticed negligible changes in density (increased by 0.03%) and porosity (decreased by 0.01%) than the control specimen. The samples were characterized using SEM, XRD, and EDAX apparatus.

“…The ultrasonication process is very useful in the dispersion of reinforcement in the matrix. [36][37][38][39][40] The use of wetting agents like K 2 TiF 6 , 41 borax, and magnesium 42 will increase the wettability of reinforcement in the matrix. Figure 4 briefs the range of parameters that researchers have used to obtain good microstructure in MMCs.…”

Aluminum metal matrix composites are a new class of materials that have gathered more attention from many materialists. Especially, the automotive components like a piston, cylinder block, brake drum, etc., fabricated by different reinforcement, which has exposed better performance over conventional engineering materials. Aluminum composites are generally fabricated by stir casting technique due to simplicity in operation and adaptive to mass or job order production. The paper provides a background for the readers interested in the production of metal matrix composites through stir casting. Based on the literature assessment, the special attentions taken by the researchers to enhance the uniform distribution of particle to avoid agglomeration are discussed. The composite performances mainly depend on the aluminum matrix, particle size, the quantity of reinforcement, preheating temperature of reinforcement, and processing parameters such as stirring speed, stirring time, and wetting agents. The selection of two reinforcements and their suitable parameters for wetting are attaining interest by many researchers and maybe opted as future scope.

Exfoliation corrosion susceptibility on friction stir welded aluminium 6061/Cr₂O₃ composite

The current study investigates the exfoliation corrosion behavior of friction stir welded aluminum composite. The stir casting method was employed to fabricate chromium oxide (2 and 4% wt) reinforced Al 6061 composites. The fabricated composite samples are friction stir welded with two process parameters. The solution immersion tests were performed for two intervals per the ASTM G34 (24 hours, 48 hours), and the weight loss method was employed. The corrosion sample is analyzed by optical microscope FESEM and surface roughness. The gelatinous corrosion product formed over the surface can apply pressure over the grains resulting in the formation of pits. The intergranular corrosion (IGC) is formed by continuous penetration of the solution and the pits. The grains suffering from IGC are more susceptible to pit. The weight-loss method is not sufficient to predict the damage induced by the exco solution. Evaluating the pit depth can help to know the severity of corrosion. The measurement of the pit is difficult due to its irregular nature. The surface roughness instrument is used, and the damage is represented in average roughness (Ra) and average depth (Rz). The exposure duration and welding parameters play a significant role in corrosion. More material is lost at higher process parameters and extended hours of the test, forming higher surface deterioration.
