Fabrication and Characterization of Sic and Al2o3 Particles Reinforced Al6061 Metal Matrix Composites

Abstract

The necessity of aluminium primarily based totally composites within side the fields of Automobile, Aerospace, Electrical become began out because of excessive Strength, Hardness and Stiffness at low weight. The generally used reinforcements for aluminium are SiC, Al2O3, graphite etc. By the addition of ceramic debris to aluminium will increase strength, hardness remarkably. In this study SiC and Al2O3debris had been taken as reinforcement and combined with Al 6061 via way of means of the use of stir casting technique. Experimental assessments such as tension, hardness had been performed on composite samples, base metallic and those values are compared. In the microstructure of composite samples, uniform distribution of strengthened debris becomes located via way of means of engaging in scanning electron microscope (SEM).
