Experimental investigations on aluminum based metal matrix composites with B4C, SiC and Mg

Abstract

This research study is framed with an objective to fabricate AlMMC reinforced with varying percentage of SiC, B4C and Mg and evaluate their strength, quality and metallurgical integrity through destructive and non-destructive tests. The specimens indicate higher strength and bond integrity with increase in B4C percentage. The outcome reveals that this AlMMC is an effective alternative to other materials owing to its cost effectiveness and mechanical strength and stability.
