Abstract

The ¾ of pure aluminium and ¼ of magnesium metal particles are fixed as a matrix and developed with different weight percentages of alumina (Al2O3) and silicon carbide nanoparticles through liquid state electromagnetic stir cast process found good interfacial bonding was proved by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Influences of electromagnetic stir action for Al2O3 and SiC presence on hardness, tensile, and impact strength of developed composites are studied. Similarly, the composite's thermal adsorption behaviour was estimated using Differential-Thermo-Analysis (DTA) with a temperature span of 23ºC to 600ºC at a 24ºC/min heat rate. The composite consists of 9wt% Al2O3 and 5wt% SiC and facilitates superior mechanical properties such as Vickers hardness, tensile and impact strength was 143.91 ± 0.92HV, 230.91 ± 1.10 MPa, and 11.98 ± 0.25 J respectively. The material loss of composite during thermal analysis was found to be negligible.
