Abstract

<jats:p>&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) made of the aluminium as base metal is now beingused in diversed applications due to its extended properties. The physical,chemical, mechanical and structural properties make it as irresistible in theengineering applications. Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) based on aluminium haveincreased in popular in various applications including aerospace, car, space,transportation, and undersea applications.. In this study, Al LM25/SiCp MMC wasfabricated using a low-cost stir casting technique, and the weight percentage ofSiCp was varied from 4% to 8% to prepare the MMC plates. The aim of the researchwas to investigate the mechanical properties of the specimen, includinghardness, tensile, and impact tests. The microstructure of the specimens isinvestigated which shows the bonding between the particles which is fabricatedby Stir casting method. The sample 2 has better mechanical properties when it iscompared with other specimens. With the increase in the addition of SiC theelongation of the specimen getting higher. The composite materials is expectedto be involved in the fabrication of automotive components.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</jats:p>
