Metal Matrix Alloy AA 6061 Produced by Stir Casting Method

Abstract

Abstract. In compared to base alloy, aluminum composites made from the AA6061 alloy perform better and have better material properties. The current work provides a thorough analysis of the AA 6061 metal matrix composite (MMC) produced using a traditional stir casting technique. Process parameters and characterization techniques have both been discussed. Upon review, it was found that the most often employed reinforcements for the production of AA 6061 metal matrix nano composite (MMNC) were Al2O3, B4C, SiC, and TiC. Other acceptable reinforcements, such as hybrid, inorganic, nanomaterial, and organic reinforcements, are being considered in the current trend. The AA 6061 hybrid composites have comparable superior qualities to single component composites because they contain two or more reinforcements. There is a tonne of room for AA study. Research on the AA 6061 nanocomposite, which has significantly higher strength and wear resistance and is suitable for aerospace and defence applications, has a lot of potential.
