Abstract
Aerospace and automobile industries are using aluminum matrix composites (AMC’s) in vast applications. The reason in using the AMCs to the maximum is these materials are giving more performance, economic advantages, and environmental benefits owing to properties like reduced weight, low cost, and high strength to weight ratio. Sand casting technique is one of the cheaper and conventional routes for manufacturing the particulate composites. For the applications of aircraft, turbines, and other structural components, the composite material is to be tested for flexural rigidity test using a three-point bending equipment. The present study is done to find the effective composition of aluminum and amount of reinforcement of the particulate material. 200 mesh micron-sized boron carbide is chosen as reinforcement material and aluminum is taken as the matrix material.
