Abstract
In order to increase system efficiency, lightweight materials are crucial in the automotive and aerospace sectors. In this work, iron oxide (Fe2O3) and cobalt (Co) were used as reinforcements, with aluminium alloy AA2014 serving as the matrix material. The metal matrix composites were made using the stir casting technique. The proportions of iron oxide and cobalt utilised as reinforcement in the composites were 2.5 wt % and 5 wt %, respectively. On the composite specimen created in accordance with ASTM E8, E9, and E23 standards, the mechanical properties of tensile, flexural, and impact strength were investigated. Investigations were also done on the hardness of the composites. The morphology of the composites was examined using an optical microscope.
