Boron Carbide and Mechanical properties

In this project work, aluminium-based metal matrix composite is developed by stir casting method. The base material is Aluminium and reinforcement materials are Cashew Nut Shell Ash (CSNA) and Boron Carbide (B4C). The Objective of project is to investigate the properties of aluminium based composite material. In this project, B4C content CSNA varies for each specimen they are reinforcement in aluminium Al-7075 grade matrix will improve the mechanical properties of the material. Optical micrographs is used to view the uniform distribution of B4C and CSNA particles within the aluminium matrix. It is expected that this composite will be beneficial for high strength material developed especially in machinery and aerospace engineering applications.
