Abstract

The present study concentrates on the mechanical characterization of Al6061 self-healing metal matrix reinforced with low-melting points composite. It has been prepared by reinforcing low-melting point alloy in aluminum matrix. The self-healing characteristic has been obtained due to the presence of solder alloy. The developed material has been characterized using SEM and micrograph. The mechanical characteristics of the developed material have been determined experimentally by performing the tensile and Charpy tests. The comparison between self-healing composite with pure matrix material has been developed. And experimental assessment results show a reduction in tensile force as well as stress by 30%. Reduction by 50% in other properties like braking distance and strain in fabricated self-healing matrix. Similarly, in the case of the Charpy test, it reduces by 39% for self-healing samples as compared to pure aluminum sample.
