The present study aims to investigate the Aluminium oxide and Zirconium diboride particles reinforced aluminum surface composites fabricated using Friction Stir Processing (FSP). Al-6063 was used as base-metal and Aluminium oxide and Zirconium diboride were used as reinforcement media. Al 6063 is used for architectural fabrication; window and door frames, pipe and tubing, and aluminium furniture Tensile strength specimens were prepared as per ASTM –E8 Standard. Tensile strength were found using UTM. Then it is found that that the tensile strength of the composite decreases as the volume percentage of the particles added for the reinforcement increases in the composites.
1
Aluminium oxide and zirconium diboride particles were successfully used to fabricate surface-reinforced Al-6063 composites via Friction Stir Processing (FSP).
2
Tensile strength of the Al-6063 surface composites decreases as the volume fraction of reinforcing particles (Al2O3 and ZrB2) increases.
3
Tensile test specimens prepared to ASTM E8 were used to evaluate tensile strength using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM).
