Mechanical characterization of Aluminium silicon carbide composite

Conventional materials like Steel, Brass, Aluminium etc will fail without any indication. Cracks initiation, propagation will takes place with in a short span. Now a day to overcome this problem, conventional materials are replaced by Aluminium alloy materials. Aluminium alloy materials found to the best alternative with its unique capacity of designing the materials to give required properties. In this paper tensile strength experiments have been conducted by varying mass fraction of SiC (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) with Aluminium. The maximum tensile strength has been obtained at 15% SiC ratio. Mechanical and Corrosion behavior of Aluminium Silicon Carbide alloys are also studied.
