Investigation on Mechanical properties of Al-6061 Alloy based MMC

Abstract

In the present study aluminum alloy (6061) composites containing 10 and 15 wt.% of fly ash particles have been fabricated. Some mechanical behavior of unreinforced alloy and metal matrix composites are studied. Charpy impact test and compression test are considered for mechanical properties study. Results show that the Metal matrix composite prepared with 15 wt.% of fly ash exhibit better mechanical property compared to unreinforced alloy as well as metal matrix composite (MMC) prepared with 10 Wt.% of fly ash.
