Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Aluminium Alloy 7075 Reinforced with SiC and Al2O3 Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites

Aluminium based Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) with Aluminium matrix and non-metallic reinforcements are finding extensive applications in automotive, aerospace and defence fields because of their high strength-to-weight ratio, high stiffness, hardness, wear-resistance, high-temperature resistance, etc. Composite materials are frequently chosen for structural applications because they have desirable combinations of mechanical characteristics. Development of hybrid metal matrix composites has become an important area of research interest in Material Science. In this work, the Aluminium alloy is reinforced with 3,5,7,9 wt. % of Al2O3 and 2 wt. % of SiC to prepare the hybrid composite. The present study is aimed at evaluating the physical properties of aluminium 7075 in the presence of silicon carbide, aluminium oxide and its combinations. The compositions are added up to the ultimate level and stir casting method is used for the fabrication of aluminium metal matrix composites. The mechanical behaviours of metal matrix composites like tensile strength, and hardness test are investigated by conducting laboratory experiments. Mechanical properties like micro hardness and tensile strength of Al7075 alloy increase with the addition of SiC and Al2O3 reinforcements.
