Abstract

Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) have induced a keen interest in recent times for probable applications in aerospace and automotive industries due to their higher strength to weight ratio and high temperature resistance. In this respect Aluminium matrix composites are widely used in various advance industries like aerospace, defense, transportation, marine, automobile and sports, due to their better corrosion resistance, good mechanical property and high strength to weight ratio. The aim of the study is to fabricate a metal matrix composite material that consists of an agro waste like coconut shell ash (CSA) as secondary reinforcement with Al-6061 and silicon carbide using stir casting technique. The influence of the secondary reinforcement is studied by varying its percentage in the composite and testing it for wear, hardness, tensile properties and microstructure.
