PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY OF FGMMCS FROM THE AA6060/TiB2 SYSTEM BY CENTRIFUGAL CASTING

In order to obtain a continuous gradient structure with a reinforced exterior of heavier TiB2 particles in an aluminium metal matrix composite obtained via the in-situ process, we used the centrifugal casting route. This paper describes the preparation method and offers an overview of the technologies used to process the AA6060/TiB2 FGMMCs. Using electron microscopy with EDS, optical microscopy, diffraction, DLS, we highlighted the morphology and distribution of TiB2 particles in the obtained layers. Tests have been performed on FGMMCs for the determination of abrasive wear, thus determining the Archard coefficient.
