Abstract
The present research work investigates the effect of recasting on the properties of hybrid aluminum matrix composite (Al7075/SiC/TiB2). The hybrid aluminum matrix composite was fabricated through the stir casting method with different reinforcement content. For recasting both the original composites were melted together in the induction furnace. After recasting, we observe a reduction in properties compared to the original hybrid aluminum matrix composite. Microstructural analysis showed an increase in agglomeration formation of reinforcement for the remelted composite. The minimum hardness value was observed for the remelted composite of 134.6 HV and the maximum wear rate was also observed for the remelted composite of 122.52 to 273.91 micrometers. Negative effects of recasting on the properties of the hybrid aluminum matrix composite were observed.
