An Experimental investigation of Mechanical behavior of Aluminum by adding SiC and

ABSTRACT: Aluminum alloy are widely used in automotive sector due to their good mechanical properties, better corrosion resistance and wear, low melting point as compare to others. The most important property of these materials are relatively light in weight and having low production cost which make them attractive for different applications from technological point of view. The purpose of designing metal matrix composite is to add the desired attributes of metals and ceramics. This work is focused to study the change in behavior of aluminum by adding different %age amount of ‘Sic ’ and ‘Al2O3 ’ composites. Then tensile test, hardness test, impact test performed on these samples which are produced by stir casting. Further it is concluded that as the weight %age of reinforcement goes on increasing the mechanical properties such as hardness, yield strength, ultimate strength also increases. But at the same time elongation decreases and the behavior of material changes from ductile to brittle
