Abstract: |
Aluminum metal matrix composites have been of interest as engineering materials due to their higher specific strength and stiffness, coupled with superior wear resistance. In this study, Aluminum matrix composites reinforced by Aluminum nitride particles (nm) are prepared by wet attrition milling and hot forward extrusion processes. The effect of the nano sized particles (1, 2, 4, and 6 in weight percent) on fatigue properties of the composites is evaluated by using Rotating Fatigue bending machine HSM19 HI-TECH Ltd model. Also the fatigue fracture surfaces observed by scanning electron microscopy and the density of samples were computed using Archimedes' law. It is found the best fatigue property and maximum relative density emerged in the samples having 1%wt of ceramic phase. |
