Abstract
The epidemic adoption of particulate metal matrix composites (MMCs) for engineering applications has been delay by the high cost of producing components of even minimally complex shape. The aluminum-based composites find its applications widely in transport, aerospace, marine, automobile and mineral processing industries, owing to their improved strength, stiffness and wear resistance properties. This paper, presents the overview of the addition of different reinforcements to aluminium alloy. The reinforcements are added to the Al7075 by using stir casting method. Effect of these reinforcements like Titanium carbide (TiC) and silicon (Si) influencing on the mechanical properties like tensile strength, hardness was studied. Research relevant to these factors which influence particles distribution were noticed by conducting the experimental studies of Al7075 hybrid composites.The mechanical properties and the microstructure of Al–TiC-Si metal matrix composite has shown the significant improvement in Hardness and Tensile strength, with increase in TiC and Si particles in weight percentage of composites.
