  By Saravanan Varatharaju, A. Shanmugasundaram, Dr. P. R. Thyla

  Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE The invention of new materials widens the scope for usage in contemporary material science and their development; the properties of metal matrix composites (MMCs) can be modified to suit the application. The present investigation focuses on dispersing the cenosphere particles into aluminum alloy (AA6063) to produce the composite. The major constituents in cenosphere are refractory oxides like silica, alumina and iron oxide. …
