Experimental Analysis of Mechanical Properties of Aluminium Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites

Abstract

Aluminium hybrid metal matrix composites have been widely used in automobile, aerospace and structural application because of their good tribological and mechanical properties. This work deals with the preparation of composites and evaluation of mechanical properties by introducing micro size reinforcement particle in the aluminium alloy. The reinforcement of Al alloy hybrid metal matrix composite with Al2O3, B4C, and SiC particles are produced by stir casting. After heat treatment process the casting materials are machined as per ASTM standard size. The mechanical properties such as tensile, hardness, impact test were conducted at room temperature. The mechanical properties are increased by increasing the weight percentage of reinforcement particles.
