Abstract |
|
The aluminium Al 6061 alloys are mainly used in the application of automobile and aeronautical industries. In the present investigation Al6061 alloy composites having varying weight percentages of (3% - 6%) Silicon Carbide, Fly ash and Red mud were fabricated by liquid metallurgical (Stir Casting) method. The casted composite specimens were machined as per BS: 18: 1962 test standards. The specimens were tested to know the mechanical properties such as tensile test, impact (Charpy) test and wear test. The result reveals higher tensile strength, impact strength and wears resistance in Al6061-SiC-Flyash samples when compared to Al6061-SiC-Redmud samples. |
