Influence of Quenching Agents on Mechanical, Wear, and Fracture Characteristics of Al2O3 / MoS2 Reinforced Al-6061 Hybrid Metal Matrix Composite (MMCs)

Aluminium (Al) based composites enhance the mechanical and wear behavior by heat treatment. The quenching factors like cooling agent, rate temperature of are expected to influence hardness, tensile, Al MMCs. This research shows outcomes a sequence experiments find Al6061-Al2O3-MoS2 hybrid quenched with different agents. Hardening developed was carried out at 510ºC for time period 2 hours. Later, same composite samples were in ice cubes water separately. Finally, age-hardening done 180ºC 4 hours then cooled under room temperature. Heat treated subjected evaluate behavior. reveal that treatment significantly enhances composites. High strength improved characteristics observed which using cubes. fractured surface tensile test wornout specimens studied SEM analysis.
