Effect of Reinforcement Weight Fraction on the Mechanical and Tribological Performance of AA7075-T6 Based Metal Matrix Composites for Marine Bearing Applications

In this study, the mechanical and tribological performance of Aluminum 7075-T6 based composited reinforced withTitanium Diboride and Silicon Carbide has been investigated with relevance to marine applications. The composites were fabricated with TiB₂ content from 1 to 9 wt.% and SiC from 9 to 1 wt.%, respectively. Mech...

Tribological and Microstructural Characterization of LPBF-Fabricated AlSi10Mg Composites with B₄C Reinforcement

In this investigation, AlSi10Mg matrix composites reinforced with varying boron carbide (B4C) content (0–3 wt.%)were fabricated using the LPBF process. The SEM analysis of raw powders confirmed spherical AlSi10Mg particles and angular B4C particles. Microstructural examination of the fabricated specimens revealed a fin...

Effect of Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) Content on the Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)-Printed PETG Composites

PETG composite filaments containing 1 wt%, 3 wt%, and 5 wt% hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) were produced. The produced filaments were transformed into test specimens using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) technique. The tensile, compression, and wear behaviors of the composite polymer test specimens produced by the...
