Description
Summary:In the present scenario, weight diminution and strength enrichment are the main requirements for escalating the application of a nano composite material in different sectors. Several industrial sectors, such as automobile, defense and aerospace, are making various components of nano composites with the help of powder metallurgy processing. In this study, Al nanoTiC<sub>p</sub> composites (2, 4 and 6 wt %) were contrived through modified powder metallurgy (PM) techniques with the help of Cold Isostatic Compaction process (CIP). The mechanical properties such as density, porosity, micro-hardness, compressive strength and indirect tensile strength were increasing with the reinforcement of nanoTiC<sub>p</sub> particles up to 4 wt % in Al metal matrix composites. Nevertheless, clustering of nanoTiC<sub>p</sub> particles were found at 6 wt %, which is also observed in SEM images.
