Abstract
The results of an experimental investigation of the mechanical properties of boron carbide (B4C) and molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) reinforced aluminium alloy (AA2024) hybrid composite samples, processed by stir casting process are reported in this paper. Based on the previous studies, it was concluded that for 4% of weight of the B4C powders reinforced in AA2024 metal matrix have better mechanical properties like tensile strength and hardness than the base alloy. Also the 4% of MoS2 reinforced in AA2024 metal matrix exhibited good mechanical properties than the matrix metal. Hence an attempt has been made to further improve the properties of the composite using both B4C and MoS2 as reinforcement particles in the AA2024 matrix. in the present study hybrid composite specimen were developed varying the weight% of B4C and MoS2, viz., 1%+3%, 2%+2%, 3%+1% B4C and MoS2 respectively in the AA2024 matrix. The prepared samples were subjected to a series of mechanical tests like tensile and hardness tests. Further, SEM & XRD analyses were performed on the prepared samples to study the microstructure and to ensure the proper dispersion of the reinforced particles in the metal matrix.
