Effect of Silicon Carbide Boron Carbide and Fly-Ash Particles on Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite

Abstract

The current paper deals about the fabrication of composite material is to combine the desirable attributes of metals and ceramics. Aluminium 6063 used as a base material in combination with the Silicon carbide ,Boron carbide and fly-ash were used as reinforcement material. Our intention is to increased or enhanced properties of pure Aluminium 6063 by addition of Silicon Carbide ,Boron Carbide and fly-ash. The process of fabrication composite material is prepared by using stir casting method. In this paper, addition of Silicon Carbide 1% , Boron Carbide 1% and fly-ash1% with aluminium increasing percentage ratio the mechanical properties of composite material is enhanced, so it is clear that the effect of Silicon Carbide , Boron Carbide and fly-ash were helpful to increasing properties of pure Aluminium by addition. The influence of reinforced ratio of silicon carbide, Boron carbide and fly-ash particles on mechanical behavior was examined. The effect of different weight percentage of silicon carbide, Boron carbide and fly-ash in composite on tensile strength, hardness, microstructure was studied. It was observed that the hardness & tensile strength of the composites increased with increasing reinforcement elements addition in it. The distribution of silicon carbide, Boron carbide and fly-ash particles was uniform in aluminum.
