Abstract

In this paper, focused on the study of behavior of Aluminium Cast Alloy 6061 and 7075 reinforced with Silicon carbide and Fly Ash composite produced by the stir casting procedure and studied by using a pin-on-disc apparatus. The reinforcements silicon carbide and Fly Ash were varied with percentages are 5%, 10%,15% in Al 6061 and Al 7075, to improve the properties of base metal like strength, conductivity and stiffness etc. Tensile test, Hardness Test, Impact test and wear rate performed on the examples got by the mix projecting cycle. Hardness analyzer is utilized to assess the interfacial holding between the particles and the framework by indenting the hardness with the steady burden and time. Examining electron microscopy was done to know the dissemination of SiC/fly debris particles in Aluminum alloy. The main aim of developing these AMMCs with reinforcing elements to obtain desired properties by varying matrix phase, shape and size and processing parameters.
