Abstract
The current work intended to synthesize Al6061 alloy with 5 wt% of micro Al2O3 particulate metal matrix composites using liquid metallurgy technique. Scanning electron microscopic images of the synthesized composites were obtained to demonstrate the uniform dispersion of the reinforced micro Al2O3 particles in the matrix. EDS spectrums confirmed the various elements present in the Al6061- Al2O3 composites, XRD patterns reveal the Al and Al2O3 phases in the composites. Hardness, tensile and impact tests were carried out to find out the impact of micro Al2O3 on the various mechanical properties of the composites. Synthesized composites hardness, tensile and impact strength were found to be more with the incorporation of Al2O3 particles. Further, tensile and impact failure analysis was studied using fractured surfaces SEM micrographs.
