Aluminum metal matrix composites are the economical choice for wide variety of mechanical applications. Its cost effectiveness and light weight characteristics make it a popular grade of material. Aluminium composites have better advantages such as good strength, high specific stiffness, wear resistance, low thermal expansion, creep resistance, and good corrosion resistance. In this investigation, Al/frit and Al/ beryl composites were fabricated by liquid metallurgy route by varying percentage of reinforcements from 0 wt.% to 6 wt.% in steps of 2. The microstructural studies have been carried out to know the distribution of reinforcement particulates in the matrix material. The Brinell hardness and tensile tests were conducted on both as-cast and its composites. The results reveal that as the reinforcement particulate content increases there were significant increase in the hardness, ultimate tensile strength, young's modulus and decrease in ductility.

The optimization of process parameters is the important step in the Taguchi Method which uses the orthogonal array to maximize the effect of controllable parameters and to minimize the effect of uncontrollable process parameters. In this study, the influence of wear parameters like grain size, applied load, wt.% of reinforcement and sliding distance on the abrasive wear of Aluminium/Beryl composites. Sand abrasive wear tests were conducted experimentally using the abrasive wear tester. An L27 orthogonal array, signal-to-noise ratio and ANOVA were employed to investigate the wear behavior of Aluminium/Beryl composites. The objective is to establish a mathematical correlation between abrasive wear of Aluminium and its composites with wear parameters using multiple linear regressions model.
