The paper deals with detailed study on microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum 7068 reinforced with fly ash and silicon carbide by powder metallurgy, aluminum 7068, silicon carbide and fly ash were taken in powder form of required size and mixed together in varying proportion according to specification and compacted with pressure of 400MPa using hydraulic press to make samples and then samples were sintered at 600°c for 2 hours, the samples were tested for density, compressive strength, hardness and microstructure was analyzed using scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive x-ray study was carried out in order to confirm presence of silicon carbide and fly ash in aluminum matrix.

Powder Metallurgy (PM) Techniques consists in a suitable technique to process composites materials. A specific PM technique of mechanical alloying developed to produce new materials in the solid state is a consolidated route to obtain aluminum alloys metal matrix composites. Aluminum alloys metal matrix composites allies the good properties of aluminum and its alloys but with poor mechanical properties and the reinforcement of ceramics phases which add better mechanical properties to these alloys. The research of this materials processing by PM techniques presented new materials with improved properties. In this work an AA1100 aluminum alloy was reinforced by particulate silicon carbide and alumina types of ceramic phases. The powders were mixed and then processed by mechanical alloying in a SPEX vibratory type mill. Then the powders obtained were compacted and vacuum sintered. The sintered composites were characterized by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) plus Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and Vickers hardness (HV) tests to evaluate the mechanical behavior.
