A practical study on mechanical characteristics of Al6061-ash-SiC metal matrix composites.

Owing to its unique weldability and flexibility to be extruded, polymer composites are frequently utilised in welding, extrusions, forging, and casting. By integrating hard-ceramic particles into the aluminium matrix, the strength- to-weight ratio will be enhanced. Because of its high strength and low weight, aluminium 6061 alloy is used as workpiece material. Because of their favourable technical features, metal matrix composites, particularly aluminium alloy matrix composites, are good choices for industrial applications. The metal matrix of Aluminum 6061 was strengthened with Ash and SiC in this project. The stir casting procedure helped to create it. Three different mixes of reinforcement were used. Testing such as the tensile test, hardness test, impact test and microstructure examination are used to investigate mechanical qualities. These specimens' qualities are compared to the three compositions we've created, and the best of them is picked. Scanning Electron Microscope is used to examine the microstructure (SEM).
