Abstract
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess significantly improved properties including high specific strength; specific modulus, damping capacity and good wear resistance compared to unreinforced alloys. There has been an increasing interest in composites containing low density and low cost reinforcements. In this study typical 2024 aluminium alloy was reinforced with alumina fibres using standard squeeze casting method. Composites with alumina as reinforcement are likely to overcome the cost barrier for wide spread applications in automotive and small engine applications. Now a days the particulate reinforced aluminium matrix composite are gaining importance because of their low cost with advantages like isotropic properties and the possibility of secondary processing facilitating fabrication of secondary components. The present investigation has been focused on the utilization of alumina in useful manner by dispersing it into aluminium to produce composites by stir casting method.
