Abstract
Metal-metal composite is a new invention method to produce a material which has significant increases in elastic modulus (stiffness), wear resistance, strength and weight savings. In this study, investigation on effect of different matrix (Aluminium 2024 and Stannum) on the properties of the metal-metal composites is studied. In this project, Aluminium 2024 reinforced low carbon steel and Stannum reinforced low carbon steel were fabricated by using pressureless metal infiltration. This is a new method of liquid state to produce metal-metal composites. The best compounding formulation of composite was found at weight percentage (wt %) with 60 wt% of matrixes material (i.e., Aluminium 2024 and Stannum) with 40 wt% of reinforcement (Low Carbon Steel). The mechanical test such tensile test and charpy impact test were conducted under ASTM D3552 and E23 standard to compare the toughness, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity between the two matrixes (Aluminium 2024 and Stannum). The results showed Aluminium 2024 reinforced low carbon steel composite, shows that improvement in term of mechanical properties (i.e., tensile strength and impact strength) compared to Stannum reinforced low carbon steel. The presence of interphase-interface between matrix and reinforcement were observed under Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fractography analysis was carried out to study the microstructure characteristics related to the fracture surface materials.
