Studies on Mechanical Tribological and Corrosion Behaviour of Zn Al Cu SiC TiB2 Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites

Abstract

quotABSTRACT newlineComposites, which are better substitutes for alloys, are a class of structural newlinematerials with increasing industrial interest in automobile sector and aerospace due to newlinetheir good strength to weight ratio. Recent studies revealed that further improvement in newlinethe strength of the composite can be achieved by incorporating two or more ceramic newlineparticles in the alloy which leads towards the direction of hybrid composites. Hybrid newlinemetal matrix composites (HMMCs) are the new emerging engineering materials that newlineoffer the best combination of properties compared to alloys and single-reinforcement newlinecomposites materials. Their applications include structural and non-structural newlineapplications in different engineering sectors and also provide a combination of newlineproperties such as hardness, tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength newlinewhich cannot be realized in single-reinforcement composite materials. In recent times, newlinehybrid composites have been established as highly efficient, high performance newlinestructural materials and their usage is increasing rapidly.quot newline newline
