The aluminium based composites are increasingly being used in the transport, aerospace, marine, automobile and mineral processing industries. The widely used reinforcing materials for these composites are silicon carbide, aluminium oxide and graphite in the form of particles or whiskers. In this study Al6061-6 & 4wt% Al2O3 based metal matrix composite were produced by mechanical stir casting process. The obtained cast metal matrix composite is carefully machined to prepare the test specimens for hardness, tensile as well as fracture toughness studies as per ASTM standards. The hardness, tensile strength and fracture toughness properties of Al6061-Al2O3 composites are explored experimentally. Finally compare the material characterization with heat treatment process sample and compare the fracture toughness of sample with mathematical approach, experimental and finite element method.

AbstractIn this paper, an inert gas assisted electromagnetic stir casting process is adapted for manufacturing a cast hybrid metal matrix composite (MMC) using Al2O3 and SiC particulates as a hard phase reinforcement in Al 7075 alloy metal matrix. Four different samples containing 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% of Al2O3 and SiC with Al 7075 alloy composites were fabricated. The characterizations for all the samples were carried out through optical microstructure, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) fractograph, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, differential thermal analysis (DTA) analysis and mechanical properties. The results revealed that the particles are uniformly distributed in the matrix. No peaks of Al4C3 were found. There is negligible loss of material in the composite. The tensile strength and microhardness of the hybrid composite are higher by 65.7% and 13.5%, respectively, when compared to its cast metal matrix Al 7075 alloy.
