Abstract

Metal matrix shafts are widely used in industries, and various research works are available for the characterization and applications of these components. These research works are limited to the conventional characterization of the material. In this paper, a novel characterization approach has been adopted, which determines the effect of reinforcements on the dynamic properties and residual stress of the Al 6061/Al2O3 shafts. Long and slender shafts were fabricated through a stir casting process. Grain structure was obtained through optical microscopy, and morphological evaluation of the composites was performed through scanning electron microscopy. In addition, X-ray diffraction patterns were analysed, and residual stress was calculated by X-ray residual stress measurement system μ-X360 Ver. 2.3.0.1. Tensile residual stress was observed for pure Al 6061 alloy shaft on the surface of shafts, whereas compressive residual stress was observed in the case of composite shafts. The magnitude of the compressive residual stress increased with the increased wt% of alumina in the Al 6061 matrix. The amplitudes of vibration were also reduced by the introduction of reinforcements in metal matrix composites.
