Effect of TiC and ZrO2 nano particles reinforcement on mechanical properties of Al based alloys.

Nano particles plays a significant role in enhancement of mechanical and tribological properties. The use of Nano particles in the composite fabrication is increased from past few years due to their competency. In this study two Nano particles titanium carbide and zirconium oxide have been considered. These two Nano particles were added in varying amount from 0 to 15 wt. percent in different aluminium alloys. A comparison table shows the changes in the properties by varying the amount of Nano particles in different aluminium based alloys. The impact of TiC nanoparticles and ZrO2 particles in improving the mechanical and tribological properties is studied. This paper provides a ready reference to the researchers working in the similar area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
