Study of Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior of Aluminum Composite reinforced with Boron Nitride

Abstract

Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) have garnered significant attention due to their superior mechanical properties, making them ideal for advanced engineering applications. This work focuses on the development and tensile testing of a composite material consisting of Aluminium 1050 as the matrix and Boron Nitride (BN) as the reinforcement. Aluminium 1050, known for its excellent corrosion resistance, ductility, and lightweight properties, was selected as the base material. Boron Nitride, a ceramic material with high thermal stability, exceptional wear resistance, and low density, was chosen to enhance the mechanical characteristics of the composite.
