RESUMO

ABSTRACT Zirconia (ZrO2) dispersed aluminum alloy metal matrix composites produced by stir casting techniques. Using stir casting techniques, aluminium based composites with varying amounts of 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12% of zirconia by weight are fabricated. The prepared samples were subjected to physical, mechanical,tribiology and microstructure investigation. The extraordinary performance of Aluminium MMCs was the low density that obtained after alloying. Hardness and ductility were also increased when increase in Zirconia particle. Ultimate tensile strength, compressive strength and impact toughness were slightly increasing with the addition of zirconia particle. Microstructural characteristics shows that a homogeneous distribution of particles with reinforcement in casted composite. The investigations of the metallurgical characterization were carried using optical, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) test to understand the metallurgical properties.
