A study on tensile and tribological properties of aluminum 7075 metal matrix with boron carbide reinforced composite material by using computer interface tensile and wear test

In the advances of application software and available digital computer technology will have more practical challenging field for Designers, Engineers and Academicians for seeking superior composite materials with their mechanical properties. In this study, Aluminum 7075 based metal matrix with Boron carbide reinforced particle to form required composite materials was manufactured by using stir casting method to obtain sound castings. During casting process care is taken with all respect like degasifying, proper vertex speed to have thoroughly mixing of reinforcements and slag formation over the surface. The influence of reinforced ratio of 0,1,2,3 and 4 weight percentages of boron carbide particles with mesh size 150 grit for Aluminum 7075 metal matrix used to form a composite material. The importance of reinforced particle with aluminum metal matrix is to study and predict in the enhancement of mechanical properties like tensile and tribological property using experimental technique by computer interfaced Universal testing machine and computer interfaced wear testing machine. For tribological properties of these composite materials were investigated by wearing with different loads and constant speed in pin on disc wear of specimen at dry condition. An increasing trend of yield, ultimate tensile strength and decreasing wear rate with increase in weight percentage of Boron carbide has been observed.
