Abstract |
|
Aluminium alloys are widely used in aerospace automobile industries due to their low density and good mechanical properties, better corrosion resistance and wear, low thermal coefficient of expansion as compared to convention metals and alloys. The main aim involved in the present work is focused on study of mechanical properties of Al7075 alloy composite having varying weight percentages of 3% - 6% of Silicon Carbide, Fly ash and Red mud were fabricated by liquid metallurgy (Stir Casting) method. The casted composite specimens were machined as per BS: 18: 1962 test standards. The result obtained reveals that tensile strength, impact strength and wear resistance is higher in Al7075-SiC-Redmud samples when compared to Al7075-SiC-Flyash samples. |
