Abstract
The aluminium reinforced by particle composites has more attention due to its low cost with advantages such as good mechanical properties like wear resistance, hardness, and tensile strength. This research experimentally investigates Al 2024 matrix with boron carbides as reinforcement with different percentages (1%, 2%, and 3%) was produced by stir casting technique. This work investigates different properties such as mechanical behavior of boron carbides-reinforced aluminium matrix composites like tensile strength, wear, and hardness, and the effects of reinforcement fractions on these properties. The composite wear behavior is been investigated by dry sliding pined on disc machine with various parameters like distance, applied load, and weight percentage. All these properties like hardness and tensile strength have increased by increasing boron carbides contents. In wear, the weight loss has been obtained. The results show that the weight loss is increased by the increase in load and it decreases with the increase of boron carbide weight percentage. The optical microstructure revealed the homogeneous dispersion of boron carbide particles in the aluminium alloy.
