Abstract
Appropriate combination of matrix and reinforcement leads to a new material that can be made to exactly meet the requirements for a specific application. The scope of this research includes developing Aluminium based hybrid composite material using Al7075 as matrix and SiC and TiO2 as reinforcement by stir casting method. Silicon carbide possesses high density, high hardness, high fracture toughness and excellent strength over a wide range of temperature and titanium dioxide posses’ good thermal shock and chemical resistance. Developed composites were subjected for microstructure and SEM/EDAX studies and hardness and tensile characterization. Microstructure shows, SiC & TiO2 particles are uniformly distributed throughout the matrix. Mechanical studies of Al7075 alloy and Al7075 + SiC + TiO2 have exhibited higher hardness and tensile strength with excellent bond between aluminium alloy and hybrid reinforcements.
