EFFECT OF AL2O3, ALUMINIUM ALLOY AND FLY ASH FOR MAKING ENGINE COMPONENT

In automobile sector and aerospace industries the Composite materials are widely used. In that composite materials, matrix based composites of Aluminium alloy plays a vital role in automobile sectors. Because, Aluminium alloy composite materials consists of thermal stability, more specific strength, resist to corrosion and wear resistance. In this project, testing of Aluminium alloy metal based matrix composites (MMCs) reinforced with Al2O3 and fly ash particles using stir casting method. Here the Aluminium alloy acts as a metal matrix and Al2O3 and fly ash acts as reinforcement. The resultant composite has to be tested for their hardness. The Al2O3 widely used for fly ash, Hard and wear-resistant. These composite materials are finding various applications in aerospace and automobile sectors. This is mainly due to increase the mechanical properties like hardness, impact strength, tensile and wears resistance.
