Implication

Experimental study demonstrates enhanced mechanical properties in Al6061 composites with boron carbide and graphene, highlighting substantial gains following T6 heat treatment.

Key Points

Tensile strength in Al6061 metal matrix composites increased by 43.56% with boron carbide and graphene additions, accompanied by marked microstructural improvements.
Compressive strength reached 298 MPa in composites with graphene and boron carbide, while peak hardness attained 91 HV following standardized artificial aging.
Powder metallurgy fabrication paired with T6 heat treatment optimizes composite matrix hardness, supporting lightweight structural applications in aerospace and automotive frames.
