Abstract

In the present work, an advanced technique was applied to coat an Al 2024 alloy with a surface composite layer reinforced with various nanoparticles. The surface of Al 2024 aluminum alloy was modified with Ta2C, Al2O3 and multi wall carbon nanotubes MWCNTs nanoparticles by friction stir process (FSP). An improvement in the surface of the fabricated nanocomposite due to the refinement of the microstructure grains was achieved. In addition, a significant improvement in the hardness and wear behavior was observed. The reinforcement particles were incorporated into double and triple hybrid composite particles to determine the most effective combination for the controlled properties. The results showed that for the composite reinforced with a double hybrid of Al2O3 and MWCNTs, the microstructure grains of the fabricated nanocomposite surface were refined by 40 times. The hardness was significantly improved, i.e., it was increased by 48% by incorporating the triple reinforcement (Ta2C, Al2O3, and MWCNTs) into the surface of Al 2024 aluminum alloy. The results of wear properties were in agreement with the results of hardness; the maximum wear resistance was obtained for Al 2024-Ta2C + Al2O3 + MWCNTs, and the wear rate was reduced by 11 times.
