Abstract

Aluminium has been widely used in the present period in engineering applications owing to its light weight, less corrosion properties and its abundance. Out of various series of aluminium, Al 7075 has a huge number of applications especially in the aerospace and defense industries all over the world. The fabrication of composite material by liquid metallurgy technique of stir casting process and experimentally investigating its various mechanical properties is the main focus area of the project. The Base material used for the fabrication of composite is Al7075 and reinforcements such as silicon carbide and coconut shell fly ash powders. The proportions of silicon carbide vary from 3, 6, 9 and 12% and constant proportion of fly ash powder at 3%. The melted composites are poured into rectangular dies.
