Investigation of mechanical behaviour on composites of Al6063 alloy with silicon, graphite and fly ash

Abstract

In this investigation depend on composites of Al6063 alloy mechanical properties enhancement by mixing the Silicon (Si), Graphite (Gr) and Fly ash. In this case four combinations of specimens were created for investigation. 90% of Al6063 alloy and 5% of Silicon maintained for all the specimens. Graphite used from 1% to 4% with one percentage of incremental and Fly ash from thermal power stations added from 4% to 1% with one percentage of decrement in composite composition. Ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, percentage of elongation and hardness were mainly focused to study.
