Abstract: Metal matrix composites (MMC) Are metals covered with diverse metals, stoneware or commonplace fragments. This essentially performed to beautify the homes of base metallic like high-quality, electricity, conductivity, and so on., Aluminum and its amalgams have pulled in most concept as a base steel in metallic lattice composites. Al MMC are typically applied in carrier, flying and severa area. This paper attempts to look the improvement of mechanical residences with the useful resource of the aggregate of Aluminum 6063 (Al6063) fortified with Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Mica composites made through combo tossing technique. The precedents are set up with aluminum changing with Silicon carbide via the use of weight percent of (12%, 13% and 14%) and mica (2%). Tests had been guided on these composites to evaluate how the flexibility, microhardness, flexural high-quality, compressive fine and microstructures of the materials were affected.

Keywords: Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites (AMMC), Silicon Carbide, Mica, Stir Casting Technique.
Scope of the Article: Mechanical Maintenance
