Abstract
Our study examined a novel composite material for marine applications. The matrix for the composite was aluminium alloy 7075 (Al7075), the properties of which include good durability, specific strength, and hardness. We investigated the mechanical properties and behaviour of the alloy matrix when combined with borosilicate powder as reinforcement. The composite was prepared by stir casting the Al7075 with specific weight percentages of nano-borosilicate. The performance of the composite was evaluated via analysis of the microstructure (SEM) and mechanical behaviour. The results from our Vickers microhardness tests showed that increasing the levels of nano-borosilicate from 2 to 8 volume percent increased the hardness of the composite.
