Production and characterization of AA6061–B4C stir cast composite
Highlights ► Stir casting of AA6061–B4C Composite. Color metallographic of composites ► Enhanced wetting of B4C particles by K2TiF6 flux. ► Effect of B4C particles on mechanical properties of AA6061.
Abstract This work focuses on the fabrication of aluminum (6061-T6) matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced with various weight percentage of B4C particulates by modified stir casting route. The wettability of B4C particles in the matrix has been improved by adding K2TiF6 flux into the melt. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the fabricated AMCs are analyzed. The optical microstructure and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images reveal the homogeneous dispersion of B4C particles in the matrix. The reinforcement dispersion has also been identified with X-ray diffraction (XRD). The mechanical properties like hardness and tensile strength have improved with the increase in weight percentage of B4C particulates in the aluminum matrix.
