Fabrication and Performance Evaluation of Al-2014 Based Metal Matrix Composites Reinforced with SiC Particulates & Fly-Ash
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
With continuing quest for new generation of materials which of improved properties over conventionally available materials, vigorous research activities were pursued in this desired direction to develop a new class of materials having light weight, higher strength and lower cost. A Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) is a composite material with atleast two constituent parts, one being a metal and the other being different metal or other materials. MMC’s are increasingly becoming attractive materials for advanced aerospace applications because their properties can be tailored through addition of selected reinforcement. Present work is focused on the study of behaviour of Al cast-alloy(2014) with SiC particulates and Fly-Ash by stir-casting techniques. Different weight % of SiC particulates and Fly-Ash is used as reinforcement phase in this MMC. Various mechanical tests like Tensile-Test, Impact-Test are performed on the samples of MMC to evaluate the mechanical properties of this AL based MMC.
