EVALUATION OF MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF Al MMC USED IN STIR CASTING METHOD

This paper is about the Aluminum MMCs, which are preferred to other conventional materials in the fields such as aeronautics , automotive or automobiles and marine applications owing to their improved properties like good wear resistance, high strength to weight ratio. In this work we tried to synthesize MMC using a aluminium material called 6061Al as matrix material which is later reinforced with ceramic Al2O3 particulates using liquid metallurgy route using stir casting method.
