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.
