Abstract

This present research study based on fabrication of Aluminium Alloy (AA) 6061 based composite for aerospace applications.AA6061 composite was fabricated by bottom pouring stir casting machine. The hybrid reinforcements used were Boron carbide (B4C) and Rice Husk Ash (RHA). The fabrication was done at different wt% of B4C and RHA. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to study the surfaces of developed composite. The Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) was used to confirm the proper dispersion of reinforcement in Pure AA 6061. The mechanical property of resultant composite studied was Hardness. All mechanical testing were done according to ASTM standards. The sharp increase in hardness was observed during addition of B4C as compare to addition of RHA. The highest hardness was observed at 5% B4C along with 5% RHA.
