Mechanical and tribological studies of Boron Carbide reinforced Al7150 MMCs

The objective of current paper is to investigate mechanical, and tribological behavior of Al7150 matrix reinforced by Boron Carbide. Stir casting process, was used to make Al7150-Boron Carbide Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs). The incorporation of reinforcement in matrix ranged from 0 to 2 wt%, with 0.5 intervals. The collected composite samples were used in research studies including physical, mechanical and tribological experiments. The...
