Abstract:

Aluminum alloys are widely used in aerospace and automobile industries due to high strength to low weight ratio and good mechanical properties such as better corrosion resistance and wear resistance, low thermal expansion, and other metals. Our work's main objective is to check the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, the hardness of aluminum-based Metal Matrix Composite, and its relation with the Alumina particulate (Al2O3) reinforced in the aluminum matrix. Aluminum 7075 alloy is chosen as matrix alloy, in which aluminum is the base element. The work has been processed for two different weight proportions of Al2O3 to the aluminum matrix (weight fractions are 3% and 7%), and the processing of the metal matrix composite is to be processed with a stir casting setup.

Keywords:

Metal Matrix Composites, Al7075, Al2O3, Stir Casting.
