Abstract |
|
This paper deals with the evaluation of mechanical properties of the metal matrix composites when compared with that of matrix alloy. Matrix selected is ZA-27 and reinforcement selected is quartz particulates, which is a ceramic material. The composites are prepared using liquid melt metallurgy technique using vortex method. Metal matrix composites containing 2, 4 and 6 weight percentage of quartz are prepared. Bar castings are machined to get the specimens. Mechanical properties like Ultimate tensile strength, compression strength, hardness and percentage elongation values were found to be higher than matrix alloy. Hence it can be concluded that the composites are more suitable than the alloy matrix for mechanical applications. |
