Comprehensive Investigation of Aluminium Matrix Composites

Aluminium Matrix Composites (AMCs) have gained significant attention due to their excellent combination of lightweight properties, high strength, and superior wear resistance. This study focuses on the development and characterization of Aluminium 7075-T6 reinforced with Silicon Carbide (SiC) particles, fabricated using the stir casting method. The research evaluates key mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness, and impact resistance, along with wear performance. Experimental results demonstrate substantial enhancements in mechanical and wear properties compared to conventional aluminium alloys. The findings highlight the potential of AMCs for high-performance applications in the automotive and aerospace sectors, where weight reduction and improved durability are critical.
