Experimental Investigation of Tribological Characteristics of Aluminum - 7 Series Alloy (Al7075) Reinforced with Tungsten Carbide (WC)

EasyChair Preprint no. 8241

Abstract

As the need for high-quality materials grows, so does the development of light-weight aluminium (Al), particularly in the aerospace and automotive industries. MMCs have become a very appealing technology for numerous industrial applications due to their ability to combine all of their qualities. MMC's provide excellent thermal performance.

At higher temperatures, energy is connected with high impact, ductility, and toughness. The investigation's goal is to to investigate the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al7075 reinforced with tungsten carbide (WC).

composite. Composite preparation by stir casting can be varied by adjusting the weight percent of WC content (1 percent, 2 percent, 3 percent) with Al7075.

comparing the results to those of Al7075

Because metal matrix composites are commonly employed in components of various elements of industrial equipment, they are commonly used in these parts.

because of their exceptional qualities, such as high strength to
