EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AL6061 REINFORCED WITH COPPER PARTICLES

in this paper reveal an aluminum alloy Al 6061-copper particulate metal matrix composites was prepared with three different volume fractions of reinforcement 75 µm (2%, 4% and 6%) using stir casting route. The particles distribution and mechanical, physical properties are observed and the hardness, compression and density are to be explained mechanical and physical properties. Finally it was observed from the results that the hardness, density and compression strength increased with increase in wt % of reinforcement.
