Effect of Laser Surface Heat Treatment on Wear and Hardness Resistance of Metal Matrix Composite from (Al- 6061+ SiC Particles) (original) (raw)

Materials Science Forum, 2021

Abstract

In this paper, the effect of laser surface heat treatment on wear resistance and hardness of an aluminum alloy Al-6061 as a base material with different ratios of SiC particles as an additive was studied. The composite material was prepared from Al-6061 aluminum alloy and particles with a granular size of (10-70) μm with different weight ratios (15%, 12%, 9%, 6%, 3%), where the stirred plumbing technique was used to ensure An increase in the wettability of SiC particles in the base alloy fuse and the possibility of distributing it uniformly. The laser surface heat treatment of the composite material prepared using the Neodymium - YAG laser was performed with a power of 1J, a wavelength of 1.06 μm, a pulse time of 5 m sec, and a distance of 30 cm between the exit area of the laser from the system and the piece to be thermally treated. The results showed an improvement in the mechanical properties of the prepared composite material (hardness, wear resistance) after performing the surf...
