A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF GRAPHENE AND S-GLASS REINFORCED Al-6061 METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES USING ANOVA

: In recent days nanotechnology has turn out to be one of the maximum exquisite escalating technology in the subject of engineering and scientific areas. During the last decade there are numerous experimental evaluation become completed with the aid of using many scholars on nanoparticles. This research work was carried out through different samples with varied composition of the hybrid composite materials and the results were found on the optimization of machining parameters of AL-6061-S-GLASS-graphene hybrids. The machining parameters of the hybrid composite was made by stir casting process and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze data and find the most influencing factor. To optimize the wt.% of reinforcement and matrix to get maximum mechanical properties by Response Surface Methodology. Confirmatory examinations were also performed for the purpose of validation after obtaining the optimized results. From the results it was found that the addition of graphene, Better bonding between the particles and good neck formation was observed at Al-0.5%G/1%S-Glass % composite. On the other hand, the agglomeration was determined at Al-2%G/5%S-Glass.
