A Review and Analysis of Mechanical Properties of Aluminium Silicon Carbide – Metal Matrix Composite

Abstract

Aluminium Silicon carbide alloy composite materials are widely used for a many number of applications like engineering structures, aerospace and marine application, automotive bumpers, sporting goods and so on. Present work is focused on the study of behavior of Aluminium with SiC particles composite produced by the stir casting technique. Different types of reinforcement’s i.e. 0%, 5% and 15% of SiC are used. Hardness test is performed on the samples. In this study, reviewed and investigated the mechanical properties of Aluminium silicon carbide metal matrix composite and examine the values in LSDYNA analysis software. As % of SiC increases at certain level, the strength and hardness of the metal matrix composite material is increased.
