Abstract : The main intention of this research is to investigate the Corrosion Resistance, Hardness and Wear properties of Al-6082 by varying percentage of Nickel as an alloying element. Fabrication of Al-6082-Ni alloy is done using Liquid Metallurgy Technique. Nickel in powder form (60µ) is added to molten Al-6082 in 2%,4%,6%,8% by its weight and separate specimens of different percentage of Nickel are casted by pouring a homogenous molten metal mixture into a split-die. Casted Al-6082 specimens with varying percentages of Nickel are machined according to ASTM standards, followed by a series of experiments to determine variation in Hardness, Corrosion Resistance and Wear properties. It is observed that Al-6082 with increase in percentage of Nickel showed almost 10-40% increase in its Hardness along with significant increase in both Corrosion Resistance and Wear properties compared to its purest form. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
