Study the Effects of Titanium Dioxide nano particles reinforcement on the mechanical properties of Aluminum Alloys composite

Abstract

Abstract Aluminum alloy6061 and 6082 was used as base material to the Aluminum matrix nano composites (AMNC ) and different Titanium Dioxide(TiO2) nano particles reinforcement wt. % of Ti(0.5, 1.0, 1.5and 2.0), the size of Titania reinforced material particles is 10 Nano meter, were been fabricated by using stir casting method. The effects of added nano particles on the mechanical properties of MMNC been studded. It was observed that the nanomaterial reinforcement led to high improvement in ultimate strength (σu), yield stress (σy), hardness (BHN) and ductility. The maximum improvement in ultimate strength, yield stress and BHN hardness was observed at 1.5 wt % TiO2 for Aluminum alloy6061 and 6082 while the maximum value of Elongation % was obtained at 0.5 wt. % TiO2 nano reinforcement for both Aluminum alloy6061 and 6082.
