Fabrication & Mechanical Testing of AA6082/Si3N4 Composites

Authors(3) :-Ankit Tyagi, Yashwant Koli, Deepak Sharma

AA6082 based aluminum lattice composites (AMC) were effectively created by including silicon nitride (Si3N4) particulates as fortifications utilizing mix throwing process. A definitive rigidity (UTS) was likewise tried. Three syntheses of AMC were outlined by changing the weight level of silicon nitride particles between 4 to 12%. UTS results was observed to be expanded with expanding weight level of silicon nitride.
