Abstract

It is always endeavor of ongoing research in material science to take advantage of specific or particular properties of the constituent material present in a composite material. Aluminum based metal matrix composites have been developed to tailor the properties. Aluminum is a preferred choice for metal matrix composites (MMC) for several reasons like low density, high thermal and electrical conductivity and good damping capacity. Aluminium metal matrix composites (Al-MMCs) exhibit improved mechanical properties, when reinforced by ceramics like Al2O3 and SiC. This paper presents an experimental study to produce Al-MMC by powder metallurgy process in which fine aluminum powder reinforced by ceramic particles like SiC and Al2O3 by 12% of its total weight. The green compact was produced using a set of die and punch. The necessary compaction of blended powder obtained using a mounting press. Sintering of green compact carried out at temperature of 95% of melting point of matrix material for 1 hour. The study of density, hardness, compressive strength and dry sliding wear capability of fabricated MMC is attempted. The average hardness of MMC increased by 2-3 times as compared to pure commercial aluminium with deviation of 11% in the density obtained experimentally.
