Abstract


The advantageous properties of Aluminium metal components have proved their suitability in the field of aerospace industry, naval, sports, and other structural applications. Its disadvantages like high wear rate, less hardness limits its application for some special applications. Graphene is an allotropic form of carbon which exhibits high tensile strength, better co-efficient of friction and an easily derivable material from the carbon which is abundantly available in nature. Reinforcement of Graphene with Aluminium 6061improves the properties of base material and makes it more suitable for special applications. Surface hardness is one of the important properties required for applications where more wear is observed. Shock waves produced by blasting the membranes with high pressure and make them hit the surface of the specimen enhances the hardness of the material by strain hardening [1]. This paper discusses about the enhancement of surface hardness of Al6061t0 composed with various percentage of Graphene Hydroxyl.

 

Key words: Graphene Hydroxyl, Shock waves, Hardness.

 


Keywords
