| Abstract: |
Aluminum alloys well known for its high strength, excellent formality and good corrosion resistance with low density are major candidates for aerospace and automobile body panel applications. Even though researches on the aluminum alloyed tin and its corrosion resistance was widely studied the Aluminum-Tin alloy as a self healing material was not investigated to a high level 1, 2 . Self healing materials are a new class of materials where the material once exposed with a crack heals itself or by an external process such as heat treatment 3 . This research focuses on the development of Aluminum-Tin based self-healing alloys of varying weight percentage and the effective density and hardness was modeled based on the Maxwell–Garnett effective medium approximation. |
