Kapil Singh, Mukesh Kumar

Abstract: In present work, an analysis has been made on mechanical behavior of aluminum metal matrix composites. Aluminum alloy 1050/10 wt % Al2O3 and Aluminum alloy 1050/10 wt % SiC composite. Stir casting route has been followed to fabricate these composites. Different tests have been carried out on these two MMCs and base alloy to study the mechanical properties. Furthermore, the effects of reinforced particles sizes on the microstructure of the composites were observed by using SEM. These MMCs are to be used for automobile, aircraft and space industries. Hence a solution is needed to solve the issues like selection of material on the basis their mechanical properties.
