Investigation on corrosion and wear properties of Al-7075/TiC composites fabricated by stir casting route

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) play a crucial role in the aerospace, automotive and mineral processing industries. The properties of aluminum (AMC) that are renowned for their high strength, good stiffness excellent thermal conductivity can be enhanced by incorporating various reinforcements. In this investigation, Al7075 alloy with TiC (3, 6, 9 wt.%) reinforcements was processed via stir casting. Optical microscope (OM) scanning electron (SEM) were utilized to study microstructural changes. chemical composition phases analyzed using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) X-ray diffraction (XRD) respectively. Evaluations conducted on such as hardness, tensile corrosion wear behavior. On increasing wt.% from 3 wt.%, it observed hardness increased 11%, strength 200%, rate decreased 50%. composite containing had lowest resistance.
