Abstract
Present investigation aimed to fabricate the aluminum-based metal matrix composites. Such composites play an important key role for heavy vehicle and structural applications. It can be used for lightweight and more stiff components of heavy vehicles. In the present research work, an easy formation of aluminum-based metal matrix composite materials are proposed through powder metallurgy process with different mass fractions of zirconium diboride and alumina reinforcement such as 3% Al2O3–7% ZrB2, 3% Al2O3–5% ZrB2, and 3% Al2O3–3% ZrB2 all in the form of atomized particles. Further, microstructural readings on cross section as well as surface of the bar and hardness measurements were attained and investigated. Improved hardness as well as tensile strength is noted from newly developed performs.
