This paper reports the manufacturing, composition gradient determination, preliminary characterization of mechanical properties of aluminium alloy with titanium diboride (AlTiB2) reinforcement.
Analysis of volume fraction of the reinforcing particles is done through experiments by Taguchi approach. The effects of three different geometries of reinforcing particles on wear response of Functionally graded aluminium alloy reinforced with titanium diboride particles is investigated.
From the experimental investigation, it is found that Tetrahedron shape appears to be more promising for maximum particle segregation at outer surface due to minimum drag force.
