This study investigates the fabrication and characterization of glass fiber-reinforced aluminum (GFRA) metal matrix composites using the 6063-aluminum alloy. The integration of glass fibers into aluminum matrices offers a promising solution for industrial applications requiring lightweight materials with enhanced mechanical strength. Stir casting was utilized for composite fabrication, ensuring uniform distribution of glass fibers within the aluminum matrix. Mechanical testing, including tensile strength and hardness tests, was conducted to evaluate the effects of glass fiber reinforcement on the 6063-aluminum alloy. Results reveal significant improvements in composite mechanical properties with the addition of glass fibers, including enhanced tensile strength and increased hardness compared to the base alloy. Notably, the study observes a peak in properties between 1% and 3% reinforcement levels, followed by a decline at higher reinforcement percentages. This research underscores the potential of GFRA metal matrix composites in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction, where material efficiency and performance are critical factors.

摘要

This study investigates the fabrication and characterization of glass fiber-reinforced aluminum (GFRA) metal matrix composites using the 6063-aluminum alloy. The integration of glass fibers into aluminum matrices offers a promising solution for industrial applications requiring lightweight materials with enhanced mechanical strength. Stir casting was utilized for composite fabrication, ensuring uniform distribution of glass fibers within the aluminum matrix. Mechanical testing, including tensile strength and hardness tests, was conducted to evaluate the effects of glass fiber reinforcement on the 6063-aluminum alloy. Results reveal significant improvements in composite mechanical properties with the addition of glass fibers, including enhanced tensile strength and increased hardness compared to the base alloy. Notably, the study observes a peak in properties between 1% and 3% reinforcement levels, followed by a decline at higher reinforcement percentages. This research underscores the potential of GFRA metal matrix composites in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction, where material efficiency and performance are critical factors.
