Abstract

The present investigation involves studying the mechanical properties of the fabricated aluminium 7075 hybrid metal matrix composites reinforced with various weight % of SiC and Al2 O3 particulates by stir casting method. The Al 7075 hybrid metal matrix composites specimen were fabricated using L9 orthogonal array. The mechanical properties like Brinell Harness (BHN), Rockwell Hardness (HRC) and impact loads were experimented. The mechanical properties like hardness and impact loads have improved with the increase in weight percentage of SiC and Al2O3 particulates in the hybrid aluminium matrix.
