Abstract

The expansion of manufacturing industries has somewhere led to the increase in the use of composite materials. Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) are the advanced and new age materials that find application in sectors like automotive, aerospace, rail components, defense etc. because of their light weight, high strength, good corrosion and wear resistance and low thermal coefficient of expansion. Stir casting is one of the simplest and oldest methods of manufacturing MMC. The present research work is about the manufacturing of Aluminium Matrix Composite (AMC) by stir casting technique where Al 6061 is the matrix or the base metal and 10 % silicon carbide (SiC) in powder form is the reinforcement material. Scanning Electron Microscopy was done in order to observe the distribution of SiC particles into the Al matrix.
