Abstract

Least weight and more strength materials are always required for different applications in engineering. Aluminum-Mg-SiC metal matrix composite (AMMC) is the suitable material in this class. Here plunger technique is used to produce Aluminum-Mg-SiC AMMC through liquid route. The different furnace temperatures were maintained such as 7000C, 8000C, and 9000C for production of AMMC and these are characterized for microstructure, density and hardness.

Keywords

Composites, furnace temperature, microstructure, hardness, density
