Abstract

Metal matrix composites have been researched from a long time and used in various industries such as aerospace, automobile, sports and performance-oriented applications. The reason for usage of Aluminum metal matrix composites is due to their low density and high-performance properties. AMMCs are easy to procure and process, making them an economically viable material. Research on AMMCs has been of great interest due to high margin of improvement and future scope. In this research, CaCO3 reinforced Al composite was fabricated using stir casting process. CaCO3 in the form of egg shell powder, SiC were introduced into Al 6063 alloy. The fabricated specimen was tested for hardness, tensile strength and wear resistance. The effect of reinforcement percentage played a major role in determining the material properties after fabrication. Test results indicated change in material behavior and giving suitable explanation for increased material performance.
