Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Aluminum-Silicon Carbide Metal Matrix Composite

Abstract

Abstract: A composite is a fusion of two or more different material chemically and unsolvable phases, its properties and structural concert are greater the ingredients performing homogeneous phases. Ceramics and Metals as well, can be implanted with particles, to advances their Property of these mixtures are known as MMCs. The mutual reinforcement’s effect on Aluminium Metal Matrix material with individual and multiple particulate reinforcements like Hybrid Metal matrix composites are finding better applications in field such as aerospace, marine, automotive, structural, underwater, and transportation and various other fields. It s fairly observed that the density of composite was decreased and the hardness was increased. Due to its versatile properties it is preferred for fabricating different types of metal matrix composites. Metal matrix composites exhibit better and improved strength, toughness, formability, corrosion resistance, machinability, stiffness, wear, creep, fatigue and numerous other mechanical properties as compared to metals The present investigation has been focused on the different combinations of the usage of reinforced materials as a reinforcing agent in different Aluminium matrix alloys in the processing of aluminium metal matrix composites by stir casting method.
