摘要

The aim of this study was to investigate the simultaneous influence of B4C, BN and SiC reinforcement and heat treatment on the mechanical and tribological behavior of Al 7075 composite materials produced through Inert Gas Assisted Stir Casting. The developed composites showed a significant reduction in material density of 0.96% and substantial enhancements in hardness and ultimate tensile strength of up to 154% and 24.1%, respectively. The analysis of wear rate (WR) indicates that load(L) is the predominant parameter on wear, followed by age hardening time (AT), sliding distance (D), and sliding speed(N) with optimal test parameters determined as ageing time of 10 Hours (h), applied load of 15 N, sliding speed of 400 rpm and total sliding distance of 500 m. Using the wear results acquired during the experimental testing, three different machine learning techniques such as Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), and Gradient Boost Regression (GBR) were used to predict the wear behaviour. Among the three machine learning techniques tested, the Gradient Boost Regression technique yielded the highest accuracy and best predictions with R2 values of 0.98451 for training and 0.92478 for testing. The integration of both experimental and predictive methodologies presented in this research study presents a viable method for determining optimal processing conditions for creating Al 7075 hybrid composites with improved mechanical and wear properties.
