Influence of zircon particles on the characterization of Al7050-Zircon composites

The microstructure and mechanical properties of Al2214-8 wt.% of 500 nm sized B4C particles reinforced composites were studied in this study. By using a liquid metallurgical process, composites containing 8 wt.% of B4C in Al2214 alloy were created. To increase the wettability and dispersion of the composites, fortification particles were warmed to 300 °C and then added in groups of two into the vortex of liquid Al2214 alloy compound. ASTM standards were used to analyse the mechanical characteristics of Al2214 alloy and Al2214-8 wt.% of B4C composites. The distribution and presence of nano B4C particles in the Al2214 alloy matrix were confirmed by microstructural analysis using SEM and EDS. XRD patterns indicated the presence of the B4C phases in Al2214 alloy composites. The addition of 8 wt.% of B4C particles to Al2214 alloy improved its hardness, ultimate, yield, and compression strength. Furthermore, the presence of B4C particles reduced the ductility of the Al2214 alloy. The tested materials were subjected to tensile fractography to determine the various fracture mechanisms.

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.
