A356 alloy based composites are extensively used in different component industries like components of automobile parts owing to pronounced strength to weight ratio. In the current paper, A356/Si3N4 nanocomposites are fabricated by means of stir casting by varying Si3N4 reinforcement nanoparticles. Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) nanoparticle is intermixed to Al powder mechanically to develop their wettability among the particles of A356/Si3N4 nanocomposites. The Si3N4 nanoparticle is integrated by altering weight percentage. The electomechanical stirring process to produce the vortex is taken up to spread Si3N4 nanoparticles in the liquefied matrix dispensed into a permanent mould. Morphological investigation of the composite specimen is accomplished by TEM. Based on the study, it can be acquired that the strengthening by Si3N4 nanoparticles promotes the strength and hardness of the fabricated nanocomposites. The maximum tensile strength is depicted to be 319 MPa for A356/5%Si3N4 nanocomposites whereas hardness is increased from 43 HBN to 86 HBN. The physical properties such as density and porosity are also increased due to the presence of Si3N4 nanoparticles. The maximum porosity of 1.12% was predicted at 5 wt. % of Si3N4. The TEM examination discloses the presence of Si3N4 nanoparticles in the fabricated composites. Additionally, the current research guidance has ability to afford a monitor to the industrialized preparation of A356/Si3N4 nanocomposites.

“…Dwivedi 18 found that the hybrid casting technique significantly improved the corrosion, mechanical, and thermal properties of ball-milled MgO and Si 3 N 4 reinforced composites, compared to the same obtained by mechanical stir and electromagnetic stir casting techniques. Bhaskar et al 19 observed that the addition of 6 wt.% Si 3 N 4 ceramic particles in Al-based hybrid composites reinforced with SiC and Gr led to improvements in the ultimate tensile strength, elongation, flexural strength, microhardness, fracture toughness, and impact strength. Sharma et al 20,21 reported that the addition of graphite (Gr) further improved the tensile strength and microhardness of AMCs reinforced with silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ).…”

In this study, the microstructural and mechanical properties of Al-Si3N4/TiB2 hybrid reinforced composites are examined. The aim is to investigate the impact of a novel combination of reinforcements (Si3N4/TiB2) on the mechanical behavior of hybrid metal matrix composites (HMMCs). The composites are produced by adding a fixed amount of Si3N4 (4 wt.%) and 2, 4, and 6 wt.% of TiB2, respectively, into molten AA7075 aluminum alloy using a liquid state stir casting process. The physical and mechanical properties of fabricated HMMCs are determined through the measurement of density, porosity, tensile strength, Brinell hardness, flexural, and impact strength. The microstructural study of HMMCs reveals a consistent distribution of microparticles within the matrix. Evidence of reinforcement particles in the HMMCs is confirmed through field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The fabricated HMMCs with 4 wt.% Si3N4 and 6 wt.% TiB2 particulates demonstrated the greatest strength among others. The ultimate tensile strength, Brinell hardness, and flexural strength are improved by 59.36%, 95.59%, and 49.33%, respectively, compared to the base Al-Zn-Mg alloy. However, the increment in strength of HMMCs comes with the tradeoff of reduced ductility and impact resistance measured through the percentage elongation and energy absorbed by the samples.

“…It is important to note that, the hardness of the composites reinforced with hard ceramic fillers not merely relies on the filler size but also on the composites' structure and superior interfacial adhesion. Numerous studies conducted in the past have documented findings pertaining to the effect that reinforcing ceramic particles have on the performance parameters of metal matrix composites [1][2][3]. Aluminum has an infinite number of geometric applications, making it a material with outstanding machinability and design versatility.…”

During the service life of components, they encounter several cyclic loadings that consequently generate stress which encourages crack interaction ultimately deteriorating materials’ performance. The present study aims to investigate the fracture behaviour of aluminium 6061 reinforced with 0-15 wt.% ZrO2 particles (at step of 5 wt.%) fabricated using stir casting technique. Compositional analysis through X-ray diffraction was performed on the prepared composite samples. The fracture toughness of prepared composites is investigated through bending test by using single edge notch bend (SENB) specimens. In addition, the computation of fracture toughness was also performed by finite element analysis (FEA) approach, and the numerical results obtained from the FEA were compared with the experimental value. Furthermore, fractography and microstructural tests were carried out in order to investigate the influence of reinforcement weight percentage on the failure behaviour of the composites that had been prepared. The results show that with inclusion of ZrO2 (15 wt.%) in aluminum 6061 matrix the maximum fracture toughness of 500.83 MPa.mm0.5 was observed. The study performed through FEA highlights the stress phenomena and result are in good agreement with the experimental results.
