“…Earlier many researchers have used stir casting to fabricate composites materials reinforced with various ceramic particle reinforcements, and found that fabricated composites have enhanced mechanical and wear performance [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Anshul et al [17] reviewed the mechanical properties of variety of alloys like Mg-4Y-3Nd (WE43), Mg-ZrSiO4-N 2 O 3 , Al-Si hypoeutectic A356 alloy, 5210 steel (WC-12% CO coated) under the influence of friction stir processing.…”

Among several methods to fabricate Aluminium metal matrix composites, stir-casting technique is used for large-scale production due to its being less expensive. This research is concerned with the fabrication of Aluminium composites with SiC and Jute Ash Particles, for sake of producing a cost-effective composite with enhanced properties. Wear behaviour was studied using pin on disc tribometer and it was found that wear resistance increases with-addition of reinforcement particles. Fabricated composite samples showed almost 4 times better wear resistance compared to base material. Matrix metal reinforced with SiC showed the best wear resistance of all fabricated samples. Coefficient of friction significantly decreased with the presence of reinforcement due to formation of mechanical mixed layer. Tensile Strength was escalated with the introduction of reinforcement as load is transferred to strongly bonded reinforcement particles. Microhardness was enhanced with the introduction of reinforcement and Sample 2 with SiC as reinforcement showed the best microhardness. Microstructure and fractography of the base metal and fabricated composites was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).

A luminium matrix composites (AMC) are used in advanced engineering applications such as automotive and aerospace industries and lightweight high strength applications to fulfil the emerging industrial requirements due to their good mechanical and tribological properties. Al7075 reinforced with B 4 C composites produced by casting route showed the improvement in hardness and tensile properties [1-3]. Zhang et al. [4] reported that aluminium fly ash composites were manufactured by liquid reactive sintering powder metallurgy process with fl y ash particles as intensifying phases. It was found that increasing the volume fraction of fly ash particles increased the hardness, modulus and wear resistance of aluminium composites. Dinaharan et al. [5] investigated the

Aluminium is one of the most common metals in the world and its use is increasing day by day in many industries mostly in space industry and automobile industry because of its light weight and high strength capabilities. Aluminium-based alloys have great potential for cost saving application due to their light weight combine with high specific strength and corrosion resistance, as well as good castability. This paper mainly emphasis with the fabrication of Aluminium composites with SiC particles and jute ash particles. Hardness and tensile properties of the prepared Aluminium composite were determined before and after addition of SiC and Jute Ash particulates to find the extent in improvement of properties. SEM images have shown the grain boundaries formation. Results shows that the tensile strength is maximum in case of composite with SiC with value of 123MPA when compared to unreinforced 6061Al matrix with strength of 64MPa.
