Development and Characterization of Aluminum 2214 Alloy with using Reinforcement of Silicon Carbide

The proposed project work is to fabricate and compare the mechanical properties, of Al2214/SiC composites. The composites were processed by using stir casting method and amount of SiC, is assorted from 2-10 wt% in level of 2 wt%. The prepared composites of Al2214/SiC are to determine the mechanical character such as Microstructure, UTS, YS, Compression Strength, as per the ASTM standards. The obtained consequence shows that casting was equally distributed without any cracks, voids and discontinues or any faults in the casting. The UTS, YS of the composite was enhanced with the enhance in wt% of SiC and higher compared to ascast aluminium alloy. The compression strength of the developed composites increases marginally with the enhance in wt% of SiC and also the hardness of the composites increases with the enhance in percentage of SiC.
