Fabrication and Characterization of Aluminum Based Composite Material

Composite materials are basically applied to the structures, bridges, operational parts and buildings, such composites from the pure metals. ex: aluminum, which have less hardness comparatively and good tensile properties. In order to minimize and overcome this problem, in general, different materials at various percentages to the pure metals were added and their properties have been investigated. Thus, better hardness can be achieved in earlier studies. But, in this study, The materials like aluminum (7075-T6), the glass powder and the resin of different sizes are taken for making and preparation of the composite materials. Aluminum, used as a base metal and by varying the percentages of the known additives, a composite can be made and thus, to the made specimen material properties have been studied
