Abstract

This paper investigates the experimental results of the mechanical properties of nano SiC, and Red mud reinforced aluminium alloy (7075) composites samples, processed by stir casting route are reported and analyzed. Two sets of composites with constant weight fraction of one reinforcements and varying one reinforcement (3 Sets) and a base metal specimen. The main mechanical properties studied were the tensile strength, ductility impact strength & wear strength. Unreinforced Al7075 samples were also tested for the same properties. In our study we varied the reinforcing material in smaller quantity to avoid the mixing problem. And from the results what we got shows the addition of reinforcing materials like Red mud and nano SiC improves tensile strength, Impact strength and reduces % Elongation.
