Abstract

This work deals with producing aluminum based Metal Matrix Composite and then observing its microstructure and mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength and Hardness of produced test specimen. In the present observation a modest attempt has been made to develop aluminum based MMCs with reinforcing material as SiC, with an objective to develop a conventional low cast method of producing MMCs and to obtain homogeneous dispersion of reinforced material. To achieve those properties the stir casting technique has been adopted. Aluminum and SiC, Fly Ash has been chosen as matrix and reinforcingmaterial respectively. Experiment has been conducted by varying weight fraction of SiC (2%, 4%, &6%) and fly ash (5g,10g,15g) respectively. The result shown that the increase in addition of SiC at different weight fractions increases the Tensile Strength, Impact Strength, Hardness of the specimen.
