Metal Matrix Composites are engineered materials, produced by the combination of two or more different materials to gain improved properties. In the current analysis, an Al-4.5% Cu alloy be used as the fly ash and graphite and matrix is reinforcement. Aluminum copper alloy matrix composite repels the much concentration due to their high thermal conductivity, lightness, moderate making temperature etc. graphite powders and fly ash are used since its low density and high strength. The composite was formed using stir casting approach. The fly ash was added in 3%, 6%, and 9 % by weight and graphite was added in 3%, 6%, and 9 % by weight to the molten metal. The composite was tested for hardness, mechanical properties,. Microstructure investigation was done using a scanning electron microscope to gain the distribution of graphite and fly ash in the aluminum matrix. The results found an increase in tensile strength and hardness with increasing the graphite and fly ash content.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
