particulate composites with the inclusion of micronsized silicon carbide (SiC) particles with different
weight percentages in an AA6063 Aluminium matrix.
AA6063/SiC particulate composites containing
0,5,10 and 15 weight percent of SiC particles were
produced by stir casting. Standard mechanical tests
were conducted on the composite plates, and the
mechanical resistance to identification, tensile force
and sliding force are evaluated. It has been observed
that upon addition of SiC particles, the resistance
against indentation is increased and the resistance
against tensile force is initially increased and then
decreased. By using scanning electron microscopy
(SEM), the fracture appearance of the broken
specimen subjected to tensile force and
morphological changes in the surface subjected to
sliding force are analyzed.
M. Vamsi Krishna et al. [23]prepared Al6061-SiC &
Al6061-SiC/Graphite hybrid composites and
compared the mechanical properties. The composites
were prepared using stir casting method in which
amount of reinforcement is varied from 5-15% in
steps of 5wt%. The prepared composites are
characterized by microstructural studies and density,
and mechanical properties were evaluated as per the
standards. The microphotographs of the composites
revealed fairly uniform distribution of the particles in
composites with clustering at few places.
The dispersed Graphite and SiC in Al6061 alloy
contributed in enhancing the tensile strength of the
composites. The scanning electron micrographs of
the samples indicated uniform distribution of the
reinforcement particles in the matrix without any
voids.
Viney Kumar,Anthony.M.Xacior[24]investigated the
effect of rpm on specific wear rate and comparison of
mechanical properties of two metal matrix
composites. In first case Al6061, 4% Mg chosen as a
base material and varying composition of fly ash and
composition of fly ash varied from 10% to 20% in
steps of 5% taken as reinforcement.
In second case Al6061, 4% Mg, 4% Graphite was
taken as base material and composition of fly ash
varied from 10% to 20% in steps of 5%. It was found
that tensile strength increase with addition of fly ash.
Similarly when graphite was added then a decrease in

Tensile test results has been the
observed that addition of reinforcement
SiC to base metal added 20% strength
to the composite but addition of TiB2
reduction in 50-60% strength is
recorded. From wear analysis proved
that TiB2 particles increase thewear
resistance behavior.
The vichkers harness value of the
composite increase with additional
inclusion of SiC particles, with an
increase of approximately 50% upon
addition of 10% SiC Particles.The
