Microstructurural Characterization of 6063 Aluminium Alloy Nano-Composites

Microstructural characterization of Al6063 Nanocomposites plays a vital role in the field of Materials Engineering. Many of the earlier researchers showed that the evolution of Al6063 stabilized the application in wide fields of engineering and sciences. The present research has focused to probe the Al6063nano composite using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy Photogrammetry (SEM). Compositions of Al6063, Al6063 with 0.5 wt% γ- Al O , 1 wt% γ- Al O , 2 wt% γ- Al O and 3 wt% γ- Al O were 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 prepared and investigated for Microstructural Characterization. In XRD, SEM and TEM the nanopowder particles forms apparently bonds and their crystallographic structures are clearly identified. Instead of chemical reactions, nanoparticles implicated the improvements in higher fracture toughness and shown in Fractograph SEM of Al 6063 + 2 wt% γ-Al O 2 3 than the other compositions. In Fractograph SEM of Al 6063 + 3 wt% γ-Al O , the nanoparticles were widely spread and 2 3 showing higher fracture toughness.
