Abstract
Synthesized Al6061-TiB2 composite material by varying wt.% of TiB2 through In-situ process by adding 1.5% Mg to evaluate mechanical properties. It is noticed that the tensile, impact strength and hardness of the composites increases with increase in wt.% of TiB2 with reduces in ductility. Microstructure analyses were conducted through SEM to observe the distribution, presence and formation TiB2 particles and found that particles were homogeneously distributed and EDX analysis confirms the presence of TiB2. Later, SEM images are converted into 2-D models using Matlab, FE analysis was conducted using ANSYS software to evaluate the stress at the matrix and reinforcement interface. The information revealed from this study is useful in design and selection of Al 6061-TiB2 AMCs for various applications.
