Abstract

The latest in material improve very high achievement in innovations. Advancement of Composite materials is noteworthy advance in streamlining the materials. The MMC’S is reinforced with SiC particles, stated as Al MMC’s, it have more developments in their physical and mechanical properties as compared to conventional MMC's. The proposed work is to fabricate and compare the mechanical and physical properties of Al2214/SiC composites. The composites were readied utilizing mix projecting strategy in which measure of Silicon Carbide, is differed independently from 2-10 wt% in strides of 2wt%. The mechanical properties of created composite MMC's are assessed and contrasted and unadulterated compound.
