Characterization of Hot Extruded Hybrid Composites Al 2024 Metal Matrix Reinforced with TiO2 and ZrO2

In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al 2024 powder, prominent type 2XXX series aluminum alloys widely used in aerospace industry, TiO2 ZrO2 reinforcement elements to improve material were investigated. Each element is included at rate 10%. For hybrid composite sample production, 10% was procured by adding each reinforcing equally. sample, powders mixed a 3D mixer ensure an equal distribution matrix powder samples. The samples churned out subjecting two-stage them one-way hot press process. furnace temperature kept 600 o C preserve Density analyses performed on formed samples, results evaluated. After all, Archimedean density measurement method obtain final densities, these taken bakelite for optical images, then scanning electron microscope (SEM) Brinell hardness measured. cross-fracture strength test completed analyze sample’s microstructural behavior. Finally, theoretical radiation shielding Phy-X/PSD program examine permeability properties. According analysis results, effect determined. As result, highest value measured 97.5 HB -reinforced MMCs. However, relative better than ZrO2-reinforced Thus, best 635 MPa parameters showed that MMCs are shielding. Therefore, second reasonable reinforced materials. decision, materials became because distinctive features enhanced
