Abstract

Metal matrix composites, in particular, Aluminium Matrix Composites are gaining increasing attention for
applications in aerospace, defence and automobile industries. The use of aluminum metal matrix composites has
generated considerable interest as the manufacturing of complicated contours such as dies. The objective of this work is to
investigate the mechanical properties such as hardness, Impact and SEM analysis. The Al 6063 metal matrix composite
reinforced with 10% Al2O3, 5% TiC is used as work material. By stir casting the composition of required samples are
formed with the standard testing methods the structure of formed samples are analysed .Tests like SEM analysis,
Hardness test, Impact test were taken .The observed values are compared with existing aluminium alloy.
