Experimental Investigation of the Mechanical and Structural Properties of a Functionally Graded Material by Adding Alumina Nanoparticles Using A Centrifugal Technique

In this work, functionally graded materials were synthesized by centrifugal technique at different volume fractions 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2% Vf with a rotation speed of 1200 rpm constant time, T = 6 min . The mechanical properties characterized to study the non-graded nanocomposites pure epoxy material. tests showed that added alumina (Al2O3) nanoparticles enhanced effect more than epoxy. maximum difference in impact strength occurred (FGM), which was loaded from rich side nano-alumina where value wasat 1% 133.33% sample side. flexural Young modulus samples 43.69% 52.74%, respectively, if alumina-rich On other hand, when loading (FGM) side, amount decrease bending resistance 122.4% while improvement 81.11% compared Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed fracture surface gradient scattering matrix. Numerous applications can be used manufacture material casting method, including for gears all such as leaf springs.
