【 摘 要 】

Aluminium alloy metal matrix composites (MMCs) have obtained wide spread acceptance in automotive and aerospace applications because of its high strength, low density and good structural rigidity. This work studies the mechanical and microstructural properties of hybrid metal matrix composite reinforced with Al2O3/SiC prepared by using powder metallurgy technique. Hardness and compressive strength of aluminum matrix composite increased with increase in wt% of SiC. The characterization results showed the improvement in mechanical properties with addition of hybrid reinforcement.
