Using of AlN Aluminum Matrix Composite in Offshore Wind Turbine

Abstract

At present, in connection with the implementation of the sustainable development program, the use of wind farms is increasing every year. Their low pollution of the atmosphere, land, and waters leads to their widespread distribution. The greatest pollution is the process of recycling wind turbines and their parts (blades, housings, etc.) since the main materials used in them are plastic and fiberglass, which are difficult or not at all recyclable. In this regard, the issue of increasing the life cycle of wind turbines is acute. In this article, the possibility of using AlN composite is considered. The main purpose of this article is to study the possibility of using AlN reinforced Al matrix composites to replace the currently used construction aluminum alloys. The main methodologies are theoretical research, analysis of domestic and foreign publications related to the topic, as well as an experiment. The result of this study is the conclusion about the impossibility of using this composite material, due to its low corrosion properties.
