Abstract

Fabrication of Aluminium matrix reinforced with in-situ formed TiB2 MMCs. It has higher strength and stiffness than Al/TiB2 MMCs. Al/TiB2 MMCs can also be made using the vortex process. These features make Al/TiB2 MMCs very desirable. Typically, experimental techniques are employed to characterize as-cast Aluminium (356), Al/TiB2 MMCs. The goal of this research is to determine the effectiveness of various moulds, such as sand moulds and permanent moulds, in improving the hardness qualities of Al-TiB2 MMC. The basic idea behind this research is that as the TiB2 reinforcement particle size increased, the hardness value decreased, resulting in higher hardness with reduced particle size growth.
