Abstract

The use of low cost material metal matrix composites is increasing rapidly in various engineering fields because of their better mechanical properties. In this study aluminium alloy (LM6) is used as matrix metal and rice husk ash (RHA) as reinforcement for developing a new metal matrix composite material. A rice husk ash 6% by weight are added and artificial aging process is done at temperature 135°C, 175°C and 225°C to develop metal matrix composites using stir casting method. The mechanical properties of composite such as hardness and wear properties were studied for the all test specimens.
