Effect of fly ash content in Aluminum matrix composite through stir casting method on mechanical and physical properties

This paper deals with the 7005 aluminium alloy characterization which has similar physical properties to 6061 aluminium alloy, depending on the temper, may be slightly stronger. To increase their mechanical and physical properties silicon carbide had been introduced in it as reinforcement. Based on mass three different compositional were made and mixed thoroughly, and cast. Stir casting method is used for casting proportioned alloys. Heat treatment process is carried out after casting the alloy is mixed in the three proper compositions. Mechanical properties like hardness, Tensile strength and impact strength were conducted and analyzed. Properties can be altered in a better way using silicon carbide as an reinforcement in aluminium-7005.

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Composite materials are defined as material systems consisting of mixture of or combination of two or more micro constituents insoluble in each other and differing in form and or material composition. In this study Metal Matrix Composite (MMCs) has been produced using stir casting method for performing the mechanical properties. Most of the engineering industries want light and better mechanical properties of components; this can be achieved by MMCs of Aluminium because of its excellent performance. In this research work we fabricate the Aluminium by liquid route. Here Al 7075 is used as a base metal and Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) used as sub metal with various percentages. Experiments were conducted to analyze microstructure, hardness & tensile strength. By using optical microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) we analyze the sample specimens are well dispersion in MWCNT with AA 7075. Hardness and tensile strength increases with increasing of wt. %. Hardness of material increases with increase in percentages of MWCNT, whereas tensile strength of the material increases with increase in percentages of MWCNT and Elongation reduces

Al Alloy

In the present scenario, the automobile industry, and aerospace industries are considerable scuffles to strive for innovative lightweight materials among manufacturing industries. They preserve their place by reducing the cost of their products and services. For this tenacity, the demand for lightweight material, low cost, and high-performance material are needed. Aluminum matrix composite is developed to fulfill and becomes an engineer’s material. Aerospace & Automobile industries are eager to introducing compound aluminum metal matrix composites due to their excellent mechanical & tribological properties which makes a reduction in the weight of the component. In this project the LM13 as the matrix material while SiC and B4C have been considered as dual reinforcement. Stir casting is the modest and inexpensive method of fabricating an aluminum matrix composite. For the Evaluation of Mechanical &Tribological behavior of DRP composite castings (LM13/B4C/SiC) selection for experimentation tests. In this paper different specimens of the MMC with LM13 Al Alloy 2wt% SiC and 2wt% B4C, 2wt% SiC and 4% B4C, 4wt% SiC, 2wt% B4C, 4wt% SiC and 4wt% B4C are taken for carried to invention out the increase in DRP in the composites will intensification the mechanical properties of the LM13 Al Alloy SiC and B4 C composite formed.
