Abstract :

Characterization of Metal matrix composites like Tribology/wear , Mechanical properties , manufacturing processes and microstructure were explored in this study. It was found that number of composites were having high wear resistance and coefficient of friction , high hardness and compression strength , enhanced specific strength. However Al6061 composites reinforced with mixtures of SiC and Al2O3 particles faicated by stir casting method resulting increase in wear with the increasing load and sliding distance which was understood and the same was explored for further research work. Few other composites under some specific process was having good mechanical properties , fatigue properties which are explained in this article. Metal matrix composites was demonstrated resulting finer particle distribution, micro segregation in the matrix, and the soundness in quality. Composites from the mixtures of Si and Al phases was demonstrated to result Si grains distributed in the Al matrix homogenously. At higher stirring speed and stirring time of same resulted better distribution of particles at ununiform hardness.
