| dc.description.abstract | An Aluminum based alloy was manufactured and tested in this thesis using Pb (Lead),
Mg (Magnesium), Zn (Zinc), along with Al (Aluminum) as the base alloy is three
different compositions. For each of the compositions different tests were carried out
individually ie. Tensile test, impact test and hardness test. From these experiments the
alloy with most hardness and strength was found for specimen 03, where have
maximum strength 64622.57 KN/m², Maximum hardness 67.75 HRN, Maximum
impact force 117.6 𝑙𝑏𝑓 was measured which was better than the base alloys. From the
experimental studies, the optimum volume fraction of alloy reinforcement in this alloy
on the basis of mechanical properties and testing analysis is also determined. The
hardness test is a mechanical test for material properties which are used in engineering
.design, analysis of structures, and materials development. The principal purpose of the
hardness test is to determine the suitability of a material for a given application, or the
particular treatment to which the material has been subjected. The ease with which the
Hardness test can be made has made it the most common method of inspection for
metals and alloys. A method for determining behavior of material subjected to shock
loading in bending, tension, or torsion. The quantity usually measured is the energy
absorbed in breaking the specimen in a single blow, as in the Tension Impact Test.
Impact tests also are performed by subjecting specimens to multiple blows of increasing
intensity. Tensile testing, also known as tension testing, is a fundamental materials
science and engineering test in which a sample is subjected to a controlled tension until
failure. Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile
strength, breaking strength, maximum elongation and reduction in area | en_US |
