In this investigation, pitting corrosion methods were used to investigate the corrosion behaviour of nanographene oxide-reinforced aluminium-copper metal matrix composites. S1 (AL 100% + 0% Cu + 0% Nano Graphene), S2 (AL 91% + 7% Cu + 2% Nano Graphene), S3 (AL 82% + 14% Cu + 4% Nano Graphene), and S4 (AL 73% + 21% Cu + 6% Nano Graphene) were the sample compositions. Ultrasonic stir casting was utilised to produce the aluminium-copper-nanographene composites. Nanographene was analysed with BET to determine its surface area, porosity volume, etc. The effects of nanographene oxide weight fraction on the corrosion behaviour of aluminium-copper composites were investigated. The surface texture of the corroded material was evaluated with an atomic force microscope, and the hardness was measured with a Vicker's microhardness tester. The results of the experiment revealed that the corrosion rate decreased as the percentage of nanoparticles in the matrix increased up to S3 composition. The microhardness values increased as the weight fractions of reinforcements in the matrix increased. And additional mechanical tests, such as tensile, wear, and flexural, to ascertain the composites' mechanical behaviour.

Lightweight materials are extremely needed for the manufacturing of industrial parts and are used in aerospace, automobile body shops, biomedical instruments, etc. Aluminium alloy is one of the light-weight materials, and it fulfills the industrial demands based on their natural strength/stiffness, enhanced temperature permanence, superior wear, and corrosion resistance. This experimental work considered aluminium alloy (AA8014) with reinforced particles of silicon nitride (Si3N4) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) for preparing aluminium hybrid composites. Hybrid composites are prepared by a stir casting process involving different process parameters. L27 orthogonal array is used for optimizing the stir casting parameters with the assistance of the statistical Taguchi approach. Stir casting parameters are the percentage of reinforcement (4%, 6%, and 8%), stir speed (400 rpm, 500 rpm, and 600 rpm), stir time (20 min, 25 min, and 30 min), and molten temperature (700 oC, 800 oC, and 900 oC). Mechanical performance such as wear and microhardness of the hybrid composites is evaluated. Minimum wear and higher microhardness are encountered at a percentage of reinforcement = 6%, stir speed = 400 rpm, stir time = 30 min, and molten temperature = 900°C. In wear analysis, the percentage of reinforcement highly influences the wear properties (7.06% contribution). In microhardness analysis, molten temperature parameter is the extreme influencer (11.15% contribution).

“…[28][29][30] It is possible to say that as the GNP ratio increases, the material hardness increases and this situation negatively affects the surface roughness. 31 It is a known situation in machining that the tool wear also negatively affects the surface roughness. In the cutting tool images given in Figure 12, it is seen that the least tool wear occurs in the samples with 1% GNP.…”

In this study, it has been aimed to investigate the machinability performances by drilling by producing Al7075 matrix hybrid composite samples with graphenenanoplate (GNP) and titaniumdiboride (TiB2) reinforced at different rates by powder metallurgy. The impacts of GNP and TiB2 reinforcing materials on the cutting parameters and wear behavior of the cutting tool have been examined and discussed. As a result of the drilling tests which are carried out by applying different cutting parameters, it was observed that GNP additive has positive impact on the cutting forces, surface roughness, and hole quality in general. As a result of the machining experiments, the lowest cutting force was obtained as 150 N at a feed rate of 0.100 mm/rev and a cutting speed of 60 m/min in the 1% GNP reinforced sample. The minimum roughness value was obtained as 0.886 micron at 60 m/min cutting speed in the 1% GNP reinforced sample. The minimum deviations from cylindricality and circularity were also measured as 0.03 and 8.005 mm from the 1% GNP reinforced sample. While the lubricating effect was low with a GNP ratio of 0.5%, the abrasive effect was observed more with a GNP ratio of 1.5%. While GNP supplementation decreased the diameter deviation and cylindrical deviation values, it increased the perpendicularity deviation values. In general, swarf chip formation occurred with a small amount of flank wear on the cutting tools. While hard TiB2 reinforcement particles in the composite structure were effective in flank wear, the most important cause of chip formation was the presence of ductile aluminum matrix and relatively low cutting speeds. When the entire experimental study was evaluated, it was evaluated that the solid lubricant property of the GNP reinforcement material was effective at the most 1% GNP reinforcement rate.
