Physical and mechanical behavior of aluminum-magnesium alloy matrix hybrid composite fabricated through friction stir consolidation process

Nowadays metal matrix composite materials are preferable in automotive and aerospace industries due to their mechanical properties essentially attractive strength weight ratios. However, availability use is limited because of manufacturing method difficulty process extravagancy. The aim this research was fabricate hybrid through a novel approach thermo-mechanical called friction stir consolidation (FSC) process. XRD result witnessed the presence SiC, ZrO 2 , AZ61 alloy phases. Different compositions AZ61, powder were taken into consideration progression FSC examined compressive strength, hardness, density, porosity. For instance, yield composition 85%Vol. 10%Vol. 5%Vol. SiC accounts 164.2 MPa with an acceptable 2.2451 g/cm 3 0.593% density porosity respectively. when ratio consideration, 95%Vol. 2.5%Vol. attained highest value. Additionally, value increased directly proportional volumetric composition. Likewise, fractured surface sample acquired SEM Fractography analysis.
