Experimental Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Aluminium Reinforced With Sic and Graphite-A Hybrid Metal Matrix Composite

1) The document experimentally investigates the mechanical properties of an aluminium matrix composite reinforced with silicon carbide and graphite particles. 2) Silicon carbide and graphite were chosen as reinforcements for their high strength and good self-lubricating properties, respectively. 3) Samples of the aluminium-silicon carbide-graphite composite were prepared using stir casting with various weight ratios of the reinforcements, and their density, hardness, and impact strength were evaluated and compared to the base aluminium alloy.

Abstract
In this present study investigation of various mechanical properties were
discussed for the aluminium silicon carbide- graphite composite. Aluminium
alloy (LM-16) was taken as the base material. SiC and graphite were chosen
as reinforcements because of their properties like high strength and good
self lubricating property respectively. The composite was prepared by stir
casting method. Various samples were taken to investigate the properties on
weight to weight ratio.Graphite is added to the composite up to 4 wt%
weight fraction. Beyond this the hardness of composite decreases as
graphite particles interact with each other leading to clustering of particles.
For various samples density, hardness and impact strength were evaluated
for the various compostions and compared with the base alloy. It has been
observed that the hardness, tesile strength, density of the composite were
incresed.
