| Summary: | Aluminium metal matrix composites are increasingly being used in numerous industries due to their lightweight
nature and high strength. The incorporation of graphene into aluminium metal matrix composites has garnered
significant interest owing to graphene’s capacity to enhance numerous properties concurrently. Hence, this study
aimed to fabricate a 0.3 wt.% graphene nanoplatelets reinforced A356 alloy (GNP-A356) composite through stir
casting followed by thixoforming and short T6 heat treatment processes. It also evaluated the microstructure and
mechanical properties of GNP-A356 after the thixoforming process and short T6 heat treatment. The microstructure
of alloy and composite was confirmed by optical microstructure, field emission scanning electron microscopy images,
and X-ray diffraction. Microstructure investigations demonstrate the impact of the stirring process on the structural
transformation of the |
