A STUDY ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ALUMINIUM-4.5%COPPER ALLOY METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES REINFORCED WITH ALUMINA FIBERS USING SQUEEZE CASTING PROCESS

Vishwanath Patil

Abstract

Aim of the present investigation is to develop aluminium-4.5% copper alloy metal matrix composites by reinforcing with chopped alumina fibers in varying percentage like 10%, 20% and 30% and so on. The casting can be produced by using Squeeze casting process; these castings were studied for all its mechanical properties like tensile, hardness, wear and microstructure and corrosion analysis. It is observed that increase in reinforcement improves the mechanical properties of composites.
