Aluminum metal matrix composites are having light weight, high strength, good corrosive resistance and toughness. it is used in several applications in aerospace and automotive industries. The hybrid metal matrix composites are consisting of at least 3 constituentsAL7075 is used where high strength is critical and good corrosive resistance. Very high strength the reinforcement particles are SiC and Graphite have good mechanical welding properties. In this work AL7075/SiC/Graphite hybrid composites were fabricated with different wt. %( 0.5%,1%,1.5%,2%) of SiC and constant graphite with 1 wt.% by using stir casting process. We perform different tests (tensile, hardness, toughness, and microstructure)on this metal matrix composite. Impact strength charpy and Izod of the composite materials are increased with addition of 2 wt. % SiC, which is 42% and 66% respectively compare to base alloy. The tensile strength is increased up to 41% compare to base alloys The hardness strength are increased to composites of 1.5 wt.% Sic and 1 wt% graphite. The hardness is increased up to 11% compare to base alloy in the composite of 0.5% of SiC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
