A16061 alloy are widely used in mechanical and automobile industries because of its superior properties such as highly corrosion resistant, light weight and high strength and finds much applications in the fields of mechanical, automotive, marine and construction (building and high way), applications. Among the reinforced materials A1203 is the most commonly used in MMCs of aluminium. The reinforcement A1203 is more stable and inert and has better corrosion and high temperature resistance. FeS can be used as a solid lubricant if it is reinforced in the matrix, it improves wear characteristics of the MMC. The influence of these reinforcements has been the subject of a significant amount of research work.  In this research work the Al 6061 is used as matrix material, A1203 and FeS are used as reinforcements. The resulted MMCs are studied for mechanical properties with 5 wt% of A1203 and by varying the weight percentage of FeS as reinforcements.

Abstract


A16061 alloy are widely used in mechanical and automobile industries because of its superior properties such as highly corrosion resistant, light weight and high strength and finds much applications in the fields of mechanical, automotive, marine and construction (building and high way), applications. Among the reinforced materials A1203 is the most commonly used in MMCs of aluminium. The reinforcement A1203 is more stable and inert and has better corrosion and high temperature resistance. FeS can be used as a solid lubricant if it is reinforced in the matrix, it improves wear characteristics of the MMC. The influence of these reinforcements has been the subject of a significant amount of research work.  In this research work the Al 6061 is used as matrix material, A1203 and FeS are used as reinforcements. The resulted MMCs are studied for mechanical properties with 5 wt% of A1203 and by varying the weight percentage of FeS as reinforcements.
