Abstract

The present study deals with the investigation of the mechanical behaviour of Aluminium6063 alloy composites reinforced by Zircon sand(ZrSiO4) and Alumina(Al2O3) particles with a total reinforcement in Wt% is 8, and in this hybrid reinforcement the variations (0+8)%, (2+6)%, (4+4)%, (6+2)%, (8+0)% were taken in to account for investigating the properties such as density tensile strength and hardness of the composites synthesized by Stir casting technique. The mechanical properties evaluation reveals variations in hardness and the tensile strength values with the composite combinations. From the experimental studies, the optimum volume fraction of hybrid reinforcement in Al 6063 alloy on the basis of microstructure and mechanical properties it is found that the (4+4) wt% combination.
