Abstract
Abstract: Metal matrix composites (MMCs), such as SiC particle reinforced Al, are one of the widely known composites because of their superior properties such as high strength, hardness, stiffness, wear, and corrosion resistance. These MMC’s are widely used in aircrafts, automobiles, electronic equipment’s, and sporting goods. Hence a solution is needed to solve the issues like selection of material based on their mechanical properties. In this study aluminum (Al-3103)/SiC Silicon carbide reinforced particles metal-matrix composites (MMCs) are fabricated by induction casting and manual stirring. The MMCs bars are prepared with varying the reinforced particles by weight fraction ranging from 5%, 10%, and 15%. Different tests are carried out on these MMC and base alloy to study the mechanical properties like tensile strength, hardness, and wear rate. It is observed that the addition of silicon carbide increased the tensile strength and hardness and also the wear resistance Keywords: AA 3103, Silicon carbide, Tensile strength, wear resistance
