Investigation on Al6061-WC & Al6061-Gr particulate reinforced MMCs mechanical behavior under ageing

The mechanical characteristics of Al6061 filled with Tungsten carbide composites and Al6061 filled with graphite particulate composites are compared in this article. The fine reinforcing particles in MMCs range 0% to 4% by weight. The composites were manufactured using stir casting - vortex method. Al6061-WC and Al6061-Gr composites were exemplified for various properties following ASTM standards. The composites were later subjected to T6...
