Abstract Scope |
Surface composites exhibit superior mechanical, tribological, and electrochemical properties compared to unreinforced alloys. These are achieved by incorporating one or more reinforcement elements into the parent material or the matrix. Therefore, in this work, we produce novel hybrid composites by incorporating soda-lime glass (SLG) and polyethene terephthalate (PET) reinforcements into the Al 1050 using friction stir processing (FSP). The influence of different tool rotational speeds and reinforcement types on the microstructure, particle distribution, and mechanical characteristics, including the surface composites' hardness, wear and electrochemical behaviour, have been studied. The results revealed a homogeneous distribution of particles in the stir zone at higher tool rotational speeds with no intermetallic formation in the surface composites. The hybrid composite showed the best hardness and wear properties. The addition of glass particles induced galvanic coupling in the surface composites, whereas PET-reinforced surface composites show the highest corrosion resistance. |
