  By A.K. Sethi, A Nirala, Om Vikash, Prateek Kumar, Nitesh Pandey

  Abstract: The growing demand for lightweight materials in modern automotive industries has spurred the development of Aluminum-based metal matrix composites (AMMC). Utilizing the powder metal-lurgy method for fabrication offers a cost-effective alternative to other methods. Composites of Al6061 with varying compositions of 6–18 wt% SiC (8 microns) and 6–18 wt% B4C (10 mi-crons) were prepared to assess their physical and mechanical properties. Scanning Electron Mi-croscope analysis revealed uniform dispersion of SiC …
