Abstract EN
The present research work involves the study of AA 7075-TiB2-Gr in situ composite through stir casting route.
This in situ method involves formation of reinforcements within the matrix by the chemical reaction of two or more compounds which also produces some changes in the matrix material within the vicinity.
Titanium Diboride (TiB2) and graphite were the reinforcement in a matrix of AA 7075 alloy.
The composite was prepared with the formation of the reinforcement inside the molten matrix by adding salts of Potassium Tetrafluoroborate (KBF4) and Potassium Hexafluorotitanate (K2TiF6).
The samples were taken under casted condition and the properties of the composite were tested by conducting characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD), hardness test, flexural strength by using three-point bend test, scanning electron microscope (SEM), optical microstructure, grain size analysis, and surface roughness.
It was found that good/excellent mechanical properties were obtained in AA 7075-TiB2-Gr reinforced in situ hybrid composite compared to alloy due to particulate strengthening of ceramic particles of TiB2 in the matrix.
Further, Al 7075-3% TiB2-1% Gr hybrid in situ composite exhibited improved machinability over the alloy and composites due to self-lubricating property given by the Gr particles in the materials.
