Influence of Graphene Nanofillers on the Mechanical Properties of 7075 Aluminium Matrix Composites
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper details the impact of graphene nanofillers on the mechanical properties of 7075 aluminum matrix composites. Graphene, renowned for its exceptional strength and stiffness, is introduced into the aluminum matrix to enhance its overall performance. The study explores the influence of graphene content on the composite's microstructure, tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and hardness. Microstructural characterization techniques are employed to understand the distribution and interaction of graphene within the aluminum matrix. The results demonstrate that the incorporation of graphene significantly improves the mechanical properties of the composite compared to the unreinforced aluminum alloy. The optimal graphene content for achieving the desired balance of strength, ductility and hardness is determined.
