Abstract

Engine Piston is one of the most useful and least researched topics. Engine Pistons are made up of aluminium alloy LM13(Al85%, Si 12.2%, Mg 1.0%, Cu 0.9%, Ni 0.9%). So in this research we will be enhancing the property of engine piston (LM13 alloy). So in this research we added reinforcement Sic particles to aluminium matrix alloy (LM13). Silicon Carbide reinforcement is added in different compositions (5wt.% 10wt.% 15wt.%). Through stir casting process after that we have performed different tests like tensile test, wear test, vicker’s hardness and optical microscope. After performing all the experimentation we came to know tensile strength and
hardness get increased and wear get decreased
