The low-cost production and performance of 6061-aluminium alloy matrices reinforced with coated silicon carbide particulate has been studied. The micro-wave vacuum sintering was adopted to prepare the composite in order that the loss ignition is very small. The effect of copper coated silicon carbide has proved beneficial to interfacial bonding and improved the mechanical properties. Differences in the fracture characteristics of specimens containing coated and non-coated particles were observed. The particulates size has much influence on mechanical properties.

Squeeze casting is a hybrid metal processing technique that combines the advantages of both casting and forging in one operation. The automotive and aerospace sectors are behind the development of squeeze casting process as the squeeze cast components exhibit improved mechanical properties. The Aluminium alloy 6061 is a futuristic material that is widely used to produce automotive and aerospace components. In this attempt, cylindrical components of AA6061 were produced by varying the squeeze pressure at certain levels when the die preheat temperature and the pressure applied duration were maintained at constant levels. The specimens were made from the components as per ASTM standards and they were tested for mechanical properties such as impact strength and micro hardness respectively. It was found that the mechanical properties were enhanced with the increase in squeeze pressure.
