Abstract
Nowadays the MMC (Metal matrix composites) have got wide applications in all the engineering fields due to their light weight and high strength characteristics, especially in the field of automobile and mechanical industries. The aluminium MMC have got wide applications due to their superior mechanical properties. In automobile industries the LM 25 aluminium is used in manufacturing of automobile components like connecting rod, engine blocks, engine heads alloy wheels, etc. In automobile alloy wheels if they are reinforced with steel wires then their total weight can be reduced and mechanical properties can be improved. In this sense we have selected the composite material as LM 25 with steel wire. In the MMC, the LM 25 Al alloy is used as a matrix material and steel wire as a reinforcement material and its tensile and compressive characteristics are compared with base LM25Al alloy.
