“…Bhandare and Sonawane [10] prepared aluminum matrix composite by stir casting method and concluded that for the uniform distribution of the reinforcement blade angle should be 45° to 60° and number of blade should be 4 and also that at full liquid condition the uniform distribution of reinforcements is difficult and for good wet ability we need to keep operating temperature at semisolid stage and also the preheating of moulds helps in reducing the porosity and enhance mechanical properties. Singh et al [11] had developed aluminum metal matrix composites. Based on experimental results it was found that the hardness of the composite increases with increasing the weight percentage of Al₂O₃ particulates.…”

With the frequent change in technology and the need of materials with improved mechanical properties like tensile strength and hardness without any substantial increase in density, research in the area of metal matrix plays a key role in fulfillment of such requirements. The Aluminum 64430 is used for manufacturing general engineering items like vehicles, rail, bridges, cranes and other automotive parts. The aim of this study is to synthesize and characterize alloy Al 64430 by reinforcing it with SiC wt% of (0%, 3% and 6%) through liquid metallurgy route in order to achieve improved tensile strength and hardness in comparison to base Al alloy 64430. The optical micrographs disclose the consistent distribution of SiC particles in matrix. The mechanical tests of the composite resulted in increased tensile strength and hardness with the increase in SiC wt% in comparison to base alloy Al 64430.
