Abstract

The growing steel prices have significantly affected the manufacturing expenditure in automobile and household industries, thus making a strong case for substituting steels with materials having lightweight and high-strength to weight ratio. The aluminum and its alloys have outstanding properties such as lightweight, wear, and corrosion resistance that make them suitable in numerous industrial applications. The present research investigation explores the microstructural and mechanical characterization of Al6063 SiC-reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs). The MMCs were developed in-house using modified stir casting route. The effect of smaller size SiC reinforcement of 5, 10, and 15 μm has been investigated.
