EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ALUMINIUM ALLOY WITH SILICON CARBIDE

The objective of this research is to produce metal matrix composite (MMC) by stir casting technique. The metal matrix composite are prepared by using aluminium (Al 6063) as a matrix and Sic particulates as reinforced with different percentage of weight fraction ranging from 3.5, 6.5, 9.5, 12.5. The reinforced particles size of SIC are 220 mesh, 400 mesh respectively. The steel prices are growing high day by day those have an effect on manufacturing expense in automobile and domestic industries , that why it is necessary to substitute steel with material having light weight and high strong suit to weight proportion. The aluminium and its compounds have terrific characteristics like light weight, wear and resistance to the corrosion that make acceptable in copious industrial usage. This study analysis examines the microstructural and mechanical properties of al 6063 with SIC reinforced metal matrix composites (MMC's).
