Abstract

Mixed metal structure nano-composites represent a novel category comprising sophisticated components that may be tailored while designed can possess precise qualities over precise purposes under certain settings. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) become widely favored in the global mobility sector owing using their cost-effectiveness with superior energy efficiency in comparison to traditional components. The primary focus of this aspect of investigation work included the use of an L16 triangular array design for experiments with Taguchi-based grey relationship analysis for multi-response optimization. The objective was to investigate the impact of its tetra hybrid-reinforced combination aluminum matrices with their physic-mechanical characteristics. These composites were produced through a pure aluminum structure at a set weight percentage from basic components (5 wt% SiC and (1, 3, 5, and 7 wt% Al₂O₃) as well as varying weight percentages of the SCBA (1, 3, 5, and 7 wt%). The study examined how changes in the milling duration, and consolidation stress while the sintering temperatures affected the characteristics of compounds. Taguchi-Grey’s relational approach determined the best pairing of the method with additives variables to achieve excellent physical and mechanical qualities. These variables include a grinding duration of 5 hours, a compression force of 56 MPa, a sintered heat of 450 °C, with a SCBA concentration of 5 wt%. The mean weight, permeability, toughness, strength at compression, & maximum elasticity got 2.51 gm cm3, 0.87%, 4228.45 MPa, 343.33 MPa, and 1516.41 MPa, respectively, after the variable conditions were optimized. Those use using Mark Taguchi and GRA techniques have conclusively shown which compression force had the greatest impact among all 4 factors. The recently produced tetra mixed- reinforced combination aluminum matrix composites demonstrated higher physic-mechanical characteristics in comparison to basic aluminum and HAMCs reinforced with just one or two materials. Hence, it is expected that the recently created tetra hybrid-reinforced AMC substance would find use in robust, aviation, wellness, transportation, marine life, and several additional fields.
