Aluminium Composites Materials using Stir Casting Process: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

This paper studies the effect of aluminium base metal with the different percentage of reinforcement of SiC(3,6,9) and Cu(0.5,0.75,1) with Mg (2 gram) in each. The basic reason of metal reinforced is to improve the properties then its original materials like hardness, cutting force, etc. The paper content of experimental work as stir casting process and preparation of aluminium matrix composites material by using aluminium as matrix form and Sic and Cu as reinforcement by varying proportion. Here hardness decreases on increase percentage of reinforcement. X-Ray Diffraction test shows degree of angle is between 35 to 45. Scanning Electron Microscope test shows electron variation at different magnification it also shows the distribution of Sic and cu particles in aluminium alloy.
