FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF Al/MoS2/Gr COMPOSITESPages 98-115 Abstract
The aluminium alloy of grade Al-1120 is commonly used in automobile and contraction industries for making various components. The fabrication of an Al/MoS2/Gr composite and an examination of composite properties are the goals of this study. Stir casting was used to fabricate the composites. In this work, the composite's tensile strength, impact strength, and wear behavior were assessed and documented. It was discovered that the presence of Gr and MoS2 in the matrix material (Al-1120) enhanced the composites' tensile strength and wear resistance. Nevertheless, the composites' impact strength and % elongation declined. The tensile strength of Al/1% Gr composite found higher amongst the all composite which is 73.45 % higher that of matrix material whereas percentage elongation decreased by 28.32 %. The wear resistance property of Al/1% MoS2 is higher than the other composites.
